Why not? Hmmm. I'd look for a small roundish cast iron pots (think small
"witches" cauldrons?). Bake the cornbread, let it cool. Cut off the top,
carefully scoop out the middle (oooh, cornbread for crumbs for turkey or
pork chop stuffing/dressing). Brush the inside of the "bowl" with melted
butter (I'd have to skip the olive oil and garlic treatment; the texture of
cornbread wouldn't work with that) and toast the bowls. Then fill with
chili and serve. How's that?
