a controlled fire you eat on purpose, then claim you weren't crying.
means A pepper prized for its heat, or a hearty stewed dish of meat, beans, and chili-laced spices.
from From Spanish 'chile,' borrowed in turn from Nahuatl 'chīlli,' the word the Aztecs used for the peppers that have been cultivated in the Americas for thousands of years. Spanish conquistadors carried both the plant and its name back across the ocean, and from there it spread to nearly every cuisine on Earth. Worth noting: it has nothing to do with the country Chile, whose name comes from an unrelated Indigenous source — a coincidence that has fooled many a diner.
