I once attended a small chili cookoff. On one hand, hadda guy pulling
out fine steaks of meat, fresh off the vine peppers, etc. Two spaces
away, some guy was prepping canned tomatoes and peppers, simple meat
products, etc. He explained he'd once gone through all that whole
"fresh" rigmarole fer chili, but he quickly learned "canned" is good
enough to win.

I did NOT see how the cook-off wound up. 8|
