Mary's Chili Verde (Hormel brand). Very good canned chili. It's now my favorite canned chili. If you dine on canned chili I recommend giving it a try.
Is this tomatillo based, like chili verde you would get from a Mexican restaurant?

Is this tomatillo based, like chili verde you would get from a Mexican restaurant? It's definitely a "green" chili. As to the rest, here's a link to its official Hormel page, with clickable list of ingredients.

QUOTE(Decrepit @ May 26 2018, 10:51 AM) Keep forgetting to mention, prolly because I'd rather not dwell on it, that for the last month or so I've been having an eight ounce serving of V8 and a half apple for lunch twice a week. Thing is, I'm no fan of V8. Those lunches are made tolerable only by the apple.
Otherwise, I still lunch mostly on soups/chili and an occasional WowButter sammich.
(I'm drinking today's V8 lunch as I type. Boy is it a struggle!)
Khajiit actually likes V8. This one doesn’t like to drink a lot of it though because it has really high sodium.

Seems to me there is or was a low-sodium variant for name brand product. I buy the Walmart equivalent due to cost. Not sure it has a low-sodium version. If I remember I'll check next grocery run. (Not sure why I didn't think to do so sooner, unless I already did so.)

Had one of my rare restaurant meals today, not because I especially craved decadent food, but to test my upper partial which needed to be altered following tooth loss. Chose the only restaurant I ever dine at any more, one of two all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets. (Americanized Chinese of course. So far as I know, there are no true oriental eateries in my neck of the woods natives to that part of the world would recognize as such.) The good news, despite the partial now coming loose when I bite down on my finger, during today's meal it remained solidly in place without a hint of loosening. It also remained in place during the one meal I tested it with at home...a Wowbutter sammich and half apple. I do not normal eat with my partial in at home. Why bother? I have enough of my own teeth to chew effectively, and there's one less thing to clean after meals.
The Buffet recently remodeled its interior. This was my first meal there since work finished. I couldn't care less about the redesign one way or other. But...the offerings all looked especially yummy in their trays, and tasted better than they have for quite some time. Was more pleased today's meal than I have been since the restaurant changed hands years ago. A good sign, I hope.
Have I mentioned I now add half a Jalapeno, finely diced, to each supper salad? They improve those meals ever so much. I recall buying Jalapenos years ago but stopped for some reason. No idea why.

Khajiit is glad you enjoyed it D! Wish we had a decent “Chinese” Restaurant here where Khajiit lives.

QUOTE(SubRosa @ May 28 2018, 05:26 PM) All you folks talking about chili prompted me to whip up a batch of my own homemade chili. I forgot to buy kielbasa, but it still turned out good!
Ooh! Do you make yours hot n’ spicy? Khajiit loves a nice hot n’ spicy homemade chili over a Hebrew National hotdog with shredded cheddar cheese on top. Umm, good stuff! This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: May 28 2018, 11:33 PM

The problem here is that you are drinking the V8 while eating an apple. The tastes don't combine. Try drinking the V8 juice with Wow-Butter spread on a celery stalk. THAT goes with the V8 very well, and improves the flavor of the whole meal. Meanwhile, the apple can be eaten with some other meal to enhance it. And the Jalapeno in your salad, You are either burning your taste buds away; or trying hard to taste anything because they are already burned out, lol. Try mincing Jalapeno up into baked beans and cornbread = mmm. So glad you are able to eat again after that tooth extraction, that had to be a suffering period for you! Really glad you treated yourself to dinner, I always enjoy hearing about your meals at that restaurant! Also = glad to hear they are shaking things up at that restaurant you like to go to and that it has improved the food! This post has been edited by mALX: May 28 2018, 11:49 PM
