I voted for Cecelia's chili. It's the only one I think I can find all the ingredients for over here. I'll certainly give it a try.And what's cilantro? Couldn't find that in my dictionary...Great idea, this cookoff Leslie.
I found this online:This member of the carrot family is also referred to as Chinese Parsley and Coriander. It is actually the leaves (and stems) of the Coriander plant. Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. The Cilantro leaves look a bit like flat Italian parsley and in fact are related. You could probably substitute flat Italian parsley if you can't find cilantro.Leslie
I guess I was just looking in the wrong dictionary. Cilantro is spanish for coriander. Of course we have that over here too. I sometimes grow some in my herb garden.Is that a standard word in English? Instead of coriander? I had never heard it before.
Ok had to change my vote. I made Jack's chili last night for the football game. Everyone who came over to watch absolutely loved it. I made a double recipe and there's not one morsel left...it was really the best chili I had ever had.
Coriander is the ground seed of the cilantro plant
Wow, Scott, that is great!L
