This was a lot of fun though a bit of a big undertaking for a Thursday night. We had bought a big (BIG) can of diced tomatoes and we decided to have a a chili night where we made 4 different types. It was a bit stressful before addining the tomatoes becuase there were 4 burners going with slightly different things.

Anyway, we started off taking detailed notes on each but it turns out that if you want to experiment with FOUR at a time, you cannot be too specific. So, the notes were less detailed but give the gist of what we were doing. A lot of the inspiration comes from this Kitchn Post. The cocoa one was inspired from The Stainless Steel Thumb.

The four types were regular (front left), chocolate (front right), Moussaka (back right), and Espresso (back left).

They were all good. The classic was the best but the chocolate and moussaka were interesting. The coffee one was not too good. Too much coffee and too much smokiness.

Here are our notes:

All

Classic / Regular

Chocolate

**Moussaka

**

Coffee

I think the problem with the coffee was that we were supposed to used instant coffee powder. The coffee was very well ground but it was still a bit gritty. Plus there was too much.

The chocolate was interesting, You could really taste the cocoa powder and it had a nice flavor. The moussaka was also good and definitely tasted like moussaka with a bit of a chili kick.

Just for fun, below is also a picture of the stove as we were cooking all four
