Same here ... my Dad brought some home in the mid 70's and as I recall it was packaged in a brown paper sack and the directions were along the lines of cutting the meat the size of your little toe. There was a packet of spice and one with what looked like flour. Have not had any since, wonder if it's still the same ?

Seems like the 'original' chili came in the bag, whereas the 'continuation' chili comes in a box ??

Funny, I have a box to make up some chili for SB Sunday. Reminds me a lot of "Wick Fowler's Five Alarm Chili" mix. I'm from Massachusetts and can tell you more about clam chowder than chili, but I like to use it as a base and make my own improvements. I always substitute beer for the water the directions call for. If I'm not mistaken, there's a tie-in between CS's Terlingua Racing Team and the Terlingua Chili cookoff.

Yeah, I think I still have a copy of the old instructions. They have dumbed down the instructions in the continuation stuff, but I think the product itself is the same. Good stuff.

I read once that the Chili fixins were mixed by drunk Englishmen under a bridge.
Or was it that the secret ingredient was from a product called 'Pit Stop'?
