Exactly ....... and even baked goods, you can vary things quite a bit too.
I am not a big chili fan, not so much for the assorted ingredients,
but more so because of the flavours/spice surprises that may await.
Thus, I am verrrrrrrrrry cautious on first taste, opting for seconds if I like it.
One of the best chilis that I have ever had, included baker's cocoa!!
Delicious indeed ....
