TRADITIONAL RED CHILI CHARACTERISTICS

TASTE - Above all else this is the most important factor. Taste should consist of the combination of the meat, peppers, spices, etc with no particular ingredient being dominant, but rather a blend of the flavors.

CONSISTENCY – Chili should have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy or greasy.

AROMA – Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.

COLOR – Chili should look appetizing. Reddish brown is usually accepted as good. Chili is NOT yellow or green.

AFTER TASTE – After taste or “bite” is the heat created by the various types of chili peppers and chili spices.
