message: Chili powder redirects to Spice mix, is this stub necessary?
I just expanded Chili powder so it is no longer a redirect.  Joyous 20:41, Sep 18, 2004 (UTC)
So wait, you just told me it's different than chile powder (which is just dried chiles), but a heaping teaspoon of chili powder is equal to a whole chile pepper?  A chile pepper doesn't have any cumin or anything in it.  How can that be? -65.27.76.113 20:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I have attempted to clarify the paprika issue by clarifying the distinction between powdered chiles, paprika and cayenne.
I have also mentioned some of the additional ingredients used in many varieties of chili powder but have not added them to the recipe given.
We use chilli powder in south Indian cooking. This means only powder form of red pepper no cumin added.So the distinction between chilli powder and Chile is confusing. We need to see what is practically used terms and clarify it from there.
I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE READS THIS BECAUSE I CONSIDER THIS A JOKE. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHILI POWDER AND CHILE POWDER - YOU BET, A MAJOR ONE TO ANY COOK. CHILI POWDER HAS BEEN ADULTERATED WITH SPICES SUCH AS OREGANO & CUMIN, WHILE CHILE POWDER IS PURE, GROUND FROM ANY NUMBER OF VARITIES OF CHILES SUCH AS ANCHO, GUAJILLO, NEW MEXICO, HABANERO, CHIPOTLE, (Kokopelli's Kitchen (talk) 02:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Is this some sort of joke?  How is the reader to distinguish between the two?  Why not just make it a tiny piece of the real chili power page?  I will try to re-write this article, but I think its almost a hoaz.

message: According to Good Eats which IMHO is a great source on food science, Chili Powder is multiple spices that includes ground peppers that makes it a season over anything else.  Chile Powder which is not as common in most mega markets is just ground peppers of different kinds.  I will try to find some data to show that and make the change documented. --Mihsfbstadium (talk) 02:25, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.purcellmountainfarms.com/Chile%20Powder.htm shows all kinds of chile powders that are of pepper origin.  http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/bin/show_ingredient.cgi?chili-powder shows multiple recipes for chili powder that have peppers along with other spices.  I do think this needs to be changed.  --Mihsfbstadium (talk) 02:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Aji pepper seems to be a different species from the usual chillies, so wouldn't be correct anyway.  Anyway I'm struggling to think of a context where one might really get muddled between a country and a spice mix!  Or indeed a country and a popular Christmas roasting fowl, or a large root vegetable and a Scandinavian person...  Richard New Forest (talk) 00:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

message: No further comments for some time.  I therefore propose the following, which I think accommodates all views while avoiding confusing article titles:
*Keep two articles for the moment.  Personally I don't think there is any real justification for this, but nor does it do any real harm.
*Rename both articles to make it obvious what they cover.  It is clear from the links discussed above that there is no consistent difference in spelling between the two types, and so spelling cannot be used as the only distinction.  I suggest Powdered chili and Chili powder blend.  These are clear, they are both terms in regular use, and both use their commoner American spelling (both articles are already written in American English, so "chilli" is out...).  Each article will of course continue to have cross-referencing hatnotes.  Chile powder would become a redirect (as it has only one meaning); Chili powder could be a redirect to either article, or it could be a short dab.
If there are no more comments for a week or so, I'll implement this.  Richard New Forest (talk) 09:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
