Whilst checking out a new Asian food store yesterday (mostly Indian sub-continent stuff) I picked up a 200g bag of "white chilli" powder on spec. As it was only 79c/US it's no great loss if I was gulled. But, I thought I might ask if anyone has information on this product before I charge off in all directions. Especially, Glen - who IIRC has in-laws from the sub-continent and may have some direct experience of white chilli powder and its uses. Oddly (or maybe not - given the South Asia nature of the store) the attendant was not familiar with durian. I really miss the Asian Foods Distribution Centre that was destroyed in the F2 Tornado of 12 March 2006. -- ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!!
