Whoop Ass Chili



Well I finally opened up a can of Whoop Ass. Whoop Ass Chili that is! On my recent trip to the Big Easy we stopped at a little shop called The Pepper Palace of New Orleans. This shop had a million bottles of hot sauce and spicy condiments. Great selection of everything hot. I bought some Wasabi Peanuts, a bottle of Ass Kicken' Peanut Butter and of course, a can of Whoop Ass Chili Mix. I opened it up last night and prepared it as per the directions on the can. The chili is a bit different than I'm used to because it uses a masa mix to thicken it up a bit so you have a bit of a corny taste to it. It also contains a little envelop of powdered habanero. The more habanero you put in, the bigger the whoop ass kick you get. I put in about half of the package, so according to the can, my chili is somewhere between a medium whoop and a big whoop. I was afraid to go all the way, and for good reason. The chili was quite spicy but had nice flavour and it made a great chili dog.

So if you find yourself in New Orleans, visit the Pepper Palace and put some spice in your life. Great stuff!
