The recipe card sounds fine, but I've never had those specific "chili powders", are they actually hot or whats the joke here

Looking them up, New Mexico seems like a medium heat.
Gebhardt sounds savory not very spicy
California seems very mild

Where is this heat coming from šŸ¤£

This is what all white people chili is like out here in Kansas.

It's disgustingly boring.

I just put chili powder and cayenne in mine. I don't need it super spicy.

It's an odd bit for Queen. He was a rich kid growing up. Feels like they were trying to unsuccessful channel Gambit instead.

To be fair, "Tabasco sauce to taste" can definitely bring the heat level pretty high if you use enough of it.

But yeah, 1tsp of cayenne and the bit of chili powders there won't do much 'cept add a nice non-lingering punch.

When the world was fundamentally altered during Trinity, the "foul, scorched taste" of Ollie's Chili was one of the few things capable of reminding a godlike Batman of the reality he had come from, when he was reminded of it by Dick Grayson.

Apparently plot relevant!

I was gonna say, that recipe doesn't actually look that bad.. lol.

I've been making a sort of enchilada casserole soup/chili-like thing lately where I double up the spices that the recipe calls for, and even that's not too bad. It's got a bit of a kick, and people who hate spice would probably run for the hills, but I've had far hotter.

Maybe it's my poor comprehension of English, but is the joke about his chili being awful or that it's so good but painful to eat?

Because if it's the latter, Green Arrow would definitely love eating a Mexican dish flavoured with chile de Ɣrbol. That thing fucking BURNS. Sure, it's no habanero but it's in the fine line between "oh fuck you're gonna make me drink milk" and "this tastes awesome".

The joke is that it's too spicy.

The problem isn't that it's hot. It's just bad. Ollie probably dumps a shitton of cheap "tabasco" into the pot and then burns the shit out of his chili while cooking it.

Case in point. Things don't taste "scorched" because they're spicy.

The "secret" to this recipe is that Ollie is secretly a terrible cook who doesn't follow directions or measure ingredients properly, and it always tastes horrible when HE cooks it.

Bingo.

I can't imagine Alfred doubling up on the spices.
Alfred knows how to make good spicy as shit food if he has to and you know Bruce went through a phase when he was 12 where he thought is was of critical importance that he become immune to spicy foods just in case.
