Meaning "chilli with meat", this dish prompts fiery debate. Where and how the classic recipe originated is a controversial topic among various American states – although Texas, with chilli con carne (also known as chili) as its state dish, is arguably frontrunner for the title. Even more contentious is what makes the perfect "bowl o’ red". As the International Chili Society says, "Never has there been anything mild about chili".

Hot Tips
Potato storage
Store in a thick brown paper bag, in a cool, dry, dark place. Discard any potatoes that have developed a green tinge, indicating a rise of (potentially dangerous) solanine levels. Opt for unwashed potatoes where possible as the dirt protects the potatoes.
Glossary

Tiny, shiny, creamy white seeds with a nut-like flavour. Used in baking on breads and rolls, and in seed and oil form in Asian cooking.
