supplied the small group of us thai attended with lunch What else but chill And damn good I might add I m not a chili lover but this stuff was good enough to win the Canadian championships in my book It would look a little funny though if entered He one of the judges Now thai s a Job I wouldn envy Andneltherdoesheattimes of one competition he Judged Seems the chill not only looked like dog food it like it loo The Lone Star that what they call him look the easy way out giving the lowest marks in the com petition and passing on the tasting Judging is done on several things and this particular
