Chile powder doesn't exist in Italy, so I Googled for homemade and make my
own, but without salt or garlic in it. I love chile now. I am fortunate in
having friends from places where you can buy the various chillis and they
bring them to me. Otherwise, Italian chillis are pretty much just hot, not
tasty.
