Anyone for a chilli cook-off?

How true! In addition, it's important to know how to use those spices! Like the paprika, that is best when sprinkled on sauteed onions in hot oil/lard. It will release the flavor of the paprika. (BTW, add a little bit of water after like 30 seconds so the paprika won't burn.) Add to "brown" the meat and you will have a much more flavorful dish than you would otherwise.
