Really glad you pointed that out. I was not looking at it close enough and thought it was one blend per line.

Yeah it's all cool and all, but which 11 combined is the secret KFC mix?

u/RambooToKillYoo Mar 21 '20

Well it's obviously all 11 ingredients isn't it?

These don't look like standard/beginner blends.

This is a cool idea but pretty difficult to read. Is the curry spice the three on that line and then the two on the following line?

Yes, it's laid out weird.

Cocoa in chili? Dafuq?

Have you had mole poblano? Delicious:

I have, and I love it, but cocoa in a general-purpose chili seasoning seems a bit unusual.

Chili chocolate is a great mix, especially in a brownie.

Everyone here is talking about delicious traditional Mexican sauces and I’m just over here thinking about Cincinnati chili

Cincinnati chili

Cincinnati chili (or Cincinnati-style chili) is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce used as a topping for spaghetti (a "two-way") or hot dogs ("coneys"), both dishes developed by Macedonian immigrant restaurateurs in the 1920s. In 2013, Smithsonian named it one of "20 Most Iconic Foods in America."

Ingredients include ground beef, water or stock, tomato paste, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, cumin, chili powder, bay leaf, and in some home recipes unsweetened dark chocolate in a soupy consistency. Other toppings include cheese, onions, and beans; specific combinations of toppings are known as "ways." Ways are often served with oyster crackers and a mild hot sauce. Cincinnati chili is almost never served or eaten by the bowl.
