Have you read? I don't know if you are aware of it, but the
ingredient list has changed. The blog owner has changed "chili
pepper" to "bell pepper". Nice to know he's paying attention.

At this point, I have to back-peddle myself. Turns out my original
reply was way off base. See, out here in the West/Southwest, "chili"
is typically a reference to the prepared Tex-Mex dish called "chili"
or "chili con carne" and chili powder is a pre-blended combination of
spices, much like Italian seasoning. Specific individual peppers are
typically spelled "chile", as in "serrano chile", "jalapeno chile",
etc. But, looking both words up reveals the word "chili", "chile",
and "chillie" are used interchangeably worldwide to describe most any
type of chile pepper. So, having been guilty of being an pompous ass,
I declare 'no mas' and divorce myself of the whole mess. You may now
continue to a) argue amongst yourselves, b) dog pile on me (which I
don't care cuz I got my six-pack of IPA, or c) ESADA!
