Chili is a spicy stew that typically includes meat (such as beef or pork), beans, chili peppers, tomatoes, and a variety of herbs and spices. The dish is popular throughout the United States, particularly in the Southwest, and has many regional variations.
The base of chili is usually a tomato sauce or broth, which is seasoned with chili powder or fresh chili peppers for heat. Other common ingredients in chili include onions, garlic, cumin, oregano, and sometimes cocoa powder or coffee for added depth of flavor. The type of meat used in chili can vary depending on the recipe and personal preference, with ground beef and chunks of beef being popular choices.
Beans are also a key component of many chili recipes, with kidney beans being the most common variety used in the United States. Other types of beans, such as pinto beans or black beans, can also be used. Some variations of chili also include additional vegetables, such as bell peppers or corn.

I'm a teacher and bought the Thai Craft Pork Sticks as an alternative to candy for Valentine's day for my juniors/seniors. Not only did they want more than I had to give - I caught them googling Big Fork on their chromebooks. They were a hit and a great alternative to all the holiday candy, Thanks, Big Fork!
