I wouldn't blame him. It's not that I know a lot about what it's supposed to taste like, never had chili in its home habitat, but this can't be right! *lol*

My Chili Recipe
Chili is about more than heat, but is flavor. Here's a mild heat chili recipe that I think you will find satisfying.
1. Put a chopped bell pepper and chopped onion in a skillet. Brown and season with garlic salt and pepper a couple pounds of ground round or stew meat in a TBL of butter. Don't drain the butter. Put it all into a large crock pot. 2. Dump in 2 large cans of diced tomatoes. 3. Dump in a drained can of light kidney beans. 4. Dump in an undrained can of pinto beans. (The bean juice is starchy and will thicken the chili slightly) 5. Stir in 4 to 6 TBL of any ground chili powder. Let this simmer in the crock pot all day. When you get home from work, make a quick pan of cornbread to go with it. Season to taste with hot sauce or jalapeno slices and cheese. |

Traditional scones
These are not the nice neat and tidy looking scones you can buy in supermarkets and some cafes. They are a bit sprawly and pitted, but they are light and tasty.
Makes 10-12 scones, depending how good you are at cutting the things out! Ingredients Plain scones
For sweet plain scones add:
For fruit scones add:
For cheese scones add:

Ahh - OK - a quick google shows that pikelet is apparently what Australians and New Zealanders call drop scones/scotch pancakes; as well as them also being a more crumpet-y type thing. And another ahhh - further googling suggests drop scones/scotch pancakes may also be called pikelets in Wales. |

Pikelets and crumpets are two totally different things. A pikelet is flat and about six inch round and a crumpet is about three inch round. Quite similar in taste, though I think pikelets have a wee bit of yeast in them. Used to have them as a kid - toasted - with lots of butter which used to melt into the holes on the top. They often made my teeth 'feel on edge'.

It's interesting how the name for one food item can have so many different regional/national variations! |

yes - it always did cause problems visiting relations elsewhere in the country - interesting that M&S only had pikelets as I knew them in Yorkshire - but no where else ...
