Alternately known as the Chilli Cone Carne TM, this
revolutionary street food concept revolves around the idea
of serving chilli in a taco shell shaped like a cone. The chilli
would have to be of a fairly stiff consistency, obviously, and
could be garnished with sour cream and guacamole until
the
end product was akin to a hot, savoury ice cream. For
comic effect, vendors could add a stick of celery and make
it a '99'.

This idea was originally done by the Rutherford Food Corp in the early '50s. They tried marketing it in movie theaters. [ThePhotoplayer, Nov 11 2006]

i like it + I've never seen one, but I can't help feel that it must have been baked somewhere. Maybe US? Someone help me out? |
|
| |
I don't think I would like it much, but I'm sure it could find a following ... baked in Hatch, NM perhaps? |
|
| |
It could work. the best mexican food is sold on the streets. I vote for a pita-like cone, not a hard shell one... that doesn't exist in mexican food. The softer the tortilla is, the better. |
|
| |
This sounds yummy to me. However, when I crumble up tortilla chips in my chili or eat nachos topped with chili, the chips always get soggy. How would you prevent this from happening to the cone? |
|
| |
but you know how hard it is to clean out chili from between your fingers... |
|
| |
The trick is to bite off the bottom and suck the chili out. One L, by the way. + |
|
| |
Splendid idea. Unlike many fast foods with their
cumbersome construction the Mexi-cone could be eaten
while driving or enjoying sporting events, when drunk you
could merely attach the small end to your mouth and
suck thus needing minimum effort. Mexi-Cone's could also
provide ice cream vans with a much needed winter
alternative - their arrival at housing estates could be
signaled by a quick burst of the Young New Mexi-cone
Puppeteer by Tom Jones.
PS: The correct spelling of Chilli is two L's, rock band The
Red Hot Chili Peppers caused a global mis-spelling
epidemic with their name. |
|
| |
Yes!! But 'Mexican hat dance' for the vans, surely? |
|
| |
I like it, but I would prefer a soft shell, since a hard one would crumble upon being bitten. It would be important for the shell to be cooked in a cone – not rolled up – in order to prevent ingredient-fallout, as often happens with burritos. Some soft of special cone-shaped tortilla maker would be required. To prevent sogginess, melt some cheese onto the inside surface before filling with chilli. |
|
| |
Off to a mexiconariffic start, [Martin H]. Full points, though I am ashamed to admit I don't get the "99" bit. Welcome to the HB. |
|
| |
[bung] a 99 is an ice cream (generally of the soft, ice-cream van variety) with a 'Flake' chocolate bar stuck in it [link] |
|
| |
Here in the States, we have "chili in a bag," which is essentially chili in a Fritos bag. I like this idea better, however. |
|
| |
Sorry, folks, no such animal in the states yet! Our latest menus at the Texas State Fair includes fried Oreos, fried pickles, and key lime pie on a stick, but we have no Mexi-cones to speak of (at least, not to my knowledge). Perhaps you could stick a tequila lollipop into the cone, as the finishing touch, instead of the standard cherry on top of ice cream. Tequila lollipops are a Texas delicacy sold in novelty shops, complete with worm inside the transluscent sugary block. |
|
| |
Here in Canada you can get Chili in a Bread Bowl at the local Tim Horton's, a donut chain with more outlets than Canadians. |
|
| |
So, this is another fake "Mexican" food product? As [Pericles] points out, there is no hard corn shell bread in Mexican cuisine, only in the US version of Mexican food. |
|
| |
[UB] Well use soft, cone shaped bread then and employ a Mexican chef to make huge batches of authentic chilli. I'm sure it would sell better then the grey, luke warm minced gristle they sell in Taco Bell.
+ |
|
| |
Love it (big +). Obviously I would fill mine with vegetarian chilli made from soya mince. Mmmmm gristle-free! |
|
| |
I like it as well. I would be willing to give a celebrity endorsement ... if I was a celebrity. + |

Having eaten those chocolate bars I would have to agree. Yum! |

Who's nan? Cannibalism is naughty. |

Jon and Jan could not agree whether they liked mild or hot better. |
|
| |
They had no cone salsa consensus. |
|
| |
While aboard their cone's whaler they went down to Mexico and were ripped off by a cone cheater. |
|
| |
Part of them. You should eat your cone seated. |

Better tell that to every Chili company. |
|

Chili, also Chile or Chilli
Noun, pl. chilies, also chiles or chillies
The pungent fresh or dried fruit of any of several cultivated varieties of capsicum, used especially as a flavouring in cooking. Also called chili pepper.
Etymology
[Spanish chile, from Nahuatl chilli.] |
|
| |
Take your pick. The first European spelling was Spanish: Chile. That means we're all wrong, except [Pericles]. |
|
| |
// The correct spelling of Chilli is two L's, rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers caused a global mis-spelling epidemic with their name.// |
|
| |
I think chili is widespread in the US, whereas chilli is the usual UK spelling of it. I have seen it said that one refers to the pepper and one to a particular dish (ie con carne) but I daresay that's arse. |
