The colored peppers are very nice. Unfortunately, they cost about 2.5X the
price of green peppers. Beats me why that is.
 
I don't know but I buy mine in a mixed pack. The mix containing
the green ones are no cheaper than the ones without.

I really don't care what kind of cake, I'd rather have just a bowlful
of the fruit.

It was some kind of Swedish sponge cake. Oddly enough, it had no butter or milk in it. I like my sponge cake more but that just natural. The Swedes like their cake with a different texture than regular folks. I thought she might have made it with almond flour but that's not the case.

The green ones are less sweet is all. When I make stuffed peppers I
slice them lengthwise stem to stern so they are like canoes... they
are easier to stuff more fully and don't flop over while cooking. I
like to stuff peppers with the same mix I use for meat loaf, no cheapo
rice and minimal bread crumbs. I prefer green bell peppers for
cooking, the other colors raw in salads.
The riper ones cost more because there's more loss in the field
waiting for them to ripen, also more loss during shipping.

You might want to try using Korean noodles instead. Nongshim Neoguri is a
thick, chewy, satisfying, noodle that's light years ahead of that Japanese
stuff. It will cost a budget-busting two bucks or so but the good things in
life don't cost two bits. I get the noodles at the Korean mart in 4 packs
for 6 bucks. I like to shop smart.

I will look out for those, but I don't hold out too much hope:))

The Koreans have been on this rock for 100 years so we have local Korean Americans that are just like you or me and we also have FOB Koreans that are kind of a hoot. They keep us on our toes. The Korean marts are pretty awesome. I canna say if there be any in Scotland tho.

That's true, Sheldon. I've seen ramem for 10/$1.00.
I even saw it once at 12/$1.00
Last time I bought it, was 8/$1.00

For being such remote states, Hawaii and Alaska pay
much more than the "lower 48" does. It's the cost
of delivery.
 
Want to see extremely high prices? Check out the northern
parts of Alaska, especially what they pay for anything
during the winter months.
 
Many of those people buy food and supplies during the
summer in large quantities. Enough to last them the
entire year until the next summer.

I know that BJ's does have discounted. I bought a can of spam
yesterday for $3.19 but this store does often have higher
prices. I've seen it as low as $2.50 each.

I don't know about you, Bruce, but "immature" people like me

LOL! Oh ye Trump haters will stop at nothing.
Interesting how China started this virus yet Trump gets
all the blame.
 
Don't forget to add in all the cute animal deaths caused
by Australia's recent wildfire mess. Look hard enough and
you'll see that Trump caused that too, at least indirectly.
That evil bastard! He sure needs to go!

True. But look at the cultural makeup 100 years ago. Those differences
persist to this day.

A lot of people are confused so I wouldn't worry about it too much. "Chili"
is short for "chili con carne" which means meat cooked with peppers.
Americans, being lazy, like to call it "chili." "Chili sauce" is a sauce
that can be made with tomatoes and spicy peppers or just peppers. Mostly,
Americans will use a sweet, tomato based, bottle sauce of the Heinz brand.
I've never used the stuff myself but these days, I'll use a Chinese style
chili sauce.

Is that Heinz chile sauce spicy?
 
I found this but see the hot hot chilli powder ?:(

Yes, you are.
 
The dish we call "chili" is formally named "Chile con Carne", or "hot
capsicums with meat". Other ingredients such as tomatoes, cumin, beans,
and others have become common.
 
In home kitchens, people add as much or as little hot peppers as they want.
Conceivably, that could be zero. It would be very uncommon, though, and
most people wouldn't really recognize that as chili.
 
For my part, chili must contain ancho chiles (a dried, fairly mild pepper)
or it doesn't taste like chili.
 
I've seen a chili recipe that doesn't contain any tomatoes; it derives
all of its red color from peppers.
 
I generally spell the meat stew as "chili" and the capsicums as "chile",
but that's by no means universal.

What I'd like is a pie made with beef with a shortcrust on the bottom and
mashed potatoes on the top. I've never had a pie like that and I don't even
care what you people would call it. I'd just call it "tasty."

I've never had the Heinz Chili Sauce. My guess is that it isn't very spicy. I can mix up something better with ketchup, oyster sauce, and Chinese chili sauce. Of course, it's going to be on the spicy side.
 
There's not much point in making chili con carne if you don't like spicy because, at its heart, it is simply meat cooked with chili peppers. The chili I make will have about a third of a cup of Korean chili powder. It comes out a brilliant red. People would think that there's tomato in my chili but they'd be wrong.

Bottled water needs to be outlawed, use refillable bottles.

They will care, if it provides inadequate calories for their metabolic
rate.
 
Next batch, just make it properly.
