CHILI, or Chilies

the Mexican, and quite generally the popular, name for the pods of several species of small-fruited, specially pungent capsicums, put up as a separate pickle or added to "mixed pickles," etc. They are largely consumed in hot countries. The two Mexican dishes containing them which are best known here are chili con carne and the chicken tamale. The word is also used as a group name for many articles highly seasoned either with whole capsicums or cayenne pepper, etc.
