Seems to me if you eat it in-flight before you have to land
and take it through customs and agricultural inspection,
you're home free.

Indeed, swallowing the contraband is a time-honoured method
of smuggling. :-)

(laugh!!) Funny. But as I have seen, they confiscate stuff before you get
on the plane.

This could certainly happen if it's a non-U.S. airport
that processes U.S. customs ahead of the flight. (e.g. Toronto).

It seems like most airlines are no-frill now. I do not like to fly. The meal
is a welcome diversion to me, no matter how bad it is. I really don't like how
the plane sits for so long on the tarmac. And, when you fly now, you're so
packed in. Hubby and I are tall and the seats are a pain.

The last time I flew, it was from Denver to Detroit for my mother's funeral.
That's about 2 hours. We got snacks. My neighbor from next door gave me his
flask full of Crown Royale and it got through security in my purse and it
helped me through the flight. The flights there and back had stops. I think I
might have caused one delay. I had this suitcase full of my mother's jewelry.
When I arrived home, there was a note in there about they had gone through my
luggage. I am not sure who "they" are. At least I wasn't arrested as a jewel
thief.

The chili should be done in an hour. I would like to make some green chili
soon.
This chili is the one with kidney beans and ground beef.
