Reminds me of buying "chili powder" from an Asian grocery and getting powdered chiles instead. The resulting pot of chili was very bland and way too hot at the same time.
- andybak 2y agoI'm from the UK and I'm curious what you would expect chilli powder to be? Over here it's always just chillis.
- PhasmaFelis 2y agoIn the US, it's a spice mix for cooking chili. (AKA "chili con carne," a popular meaty, spicy stew.) Chili powder has a bit of cayenne but mostly cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. I can imagine it being different outside the US, but this store was in Seattle so you can see my confusion.
