I am wondering where I can buy cornbread? I’ve been looking for it in several groceries, but cannot find it. Furthermore, where can I also get cornmeal?

Thanks

Ahhhh so many versions of chili but there is one trick no one mentioned yet and that is you mash up the meat of a ripe mango or two and add it to the recipe after the meat is cooked but before you add the tomato and spices. It makes the ground meat, especially if you are using cubed meat, wonderfully smooth and tender. Also, the sweetness of the mango has a fresher, lighter flavor than if you use chocolate or hershey kisses. 2/3 cup of mashed papaya also works well. I usually serve it with rice but sometimes I go for egg noddles! Love the chili talk.

Maripi, I use several brands of italian and sometimes spanish canned whole plum tomatoes, available at most large groceries. A can can cost from PHP50-80 I think. I am not in my kitchen as I answer this so I can’t be more specific. You can buy cinnamon sticks at spice shops like Flavors n spices in MarketMarket or some better groceries. S&R sometimes has bulk spices as well.

Hello, Mr. Market Man! Your chili really looks delicious! Just wanted to ask, what brand of canned plum tomatoes did you use, and how much does it cost? Would it be possible to use fresh native tomatoes instead? Also, where do you buy cinnamon sticks? I’ve been wanting to try some other recipes with cinnamon sticks but couldn’t seem to find any in the supermarkets I typically go to. I hope you don’t mind all the questions! =)
