- was out. That left turkey chili.
When I think of Hormel, I think of SPAM and that Michael Moore’s documentary “The American Dollar”. When I opened the can, I half-expected the product to come slithering out in one mass, like jellied cranberry sauce. I was glad to find that it wasn’t the case. I could discern from bean from turkey and turkey from bean. The consistency was thick and chunky, a desirable feature in feature. Although it was a bit on the salty side, there was a proportional amount of bean and turkey. The sauce was smoky and reasonable well-seasoned and rounded. I had some grated low-fat
cheese around and it tasted very nice melted on top of the chili. One thing I was missing from the chili was heat. I like my chili to be on the spicy side; I would have like less saltiness and more spiciness.
I guess that’s what manufacturers do when they take the fat out of a product: replace it with excess sugar or salt. The chili was reasonably good and fulfilling, a bit salty for my taste. It would be good on top of rice or with bread. I got an especially good deal because I had a dollar off coupon. I ended up paying only $0.75 for each can.
