An excellent recipe from Reese, though he is remarkably easy on the garlic. I would include an entire head of garlic. The meat dish described below should be eaten with Jerusalem artichokes mashed with butter and black pepper - some pureed suede (if you call them that - large, sweet, orange turnips) could be included for extra flavour. There should also be an a salad of traditional lettuce (not iceberg), hard-boiled eggs, black olives aubergines fried in olive oil (I think you Americans may call them eggplants), red onions, and a selection of different kinds of bean, dressed with garlic and wasabi beaten into real (i.e. made with olive oil and raw egg) mayonnaise. The drink *must* be Guinness and you must drink at least 4 pints of it. Reese missed out the delivery process, always important in chemical warfare. This is in fact a binary munition. The inert component consists of either a strong double espresso coffee and cigarettes, or else ordinary water. About 6 to 8 hours after the meal - earlier if you feel necessary - you visit the target location with the other components. Then just stand around sipping espresso and smoking. This of course is easier to achieve if the target is a cafe. If you have moral objections to smoking, a similar binary effect can be obtained by drinking 2 to 3 litres of cold water very fast.

Send me the instructions to make a stink bomb please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow the recipe below, consume, and wait.

Take: 4 lbs. ground beef (at least 80% lean) 3 16oz can dark red kidney beans 1 4.5oz can peeled & chopped green chilies (Old El Paso or similar) 2 8oz can tomato sauce 2 6ox can tomato paste 1 large green bell pepper 1 medium white onion 3 11oz bag white corn tortilla chips, round style (Jays or similar) 2/3 to 1 cup chili powder (*) 4 tbsp masa flour (commonly used to make tortillas & tamales, Quaker brand or similar) (*) 2-1/2 tbsp ground oregano (*) 1-1/2 tbsp paprika 1-1/2 tbsp ground red pepper (cayenne pepper) (*) 2 tbsp minced garlic 2 to 3 tsp salt, to taste (NOT tbsp!)

NOTE 1) tbsp = tablespoon, tsp = teaspoon

NOTE 2) ingredients marked (*) are also found in popular chili mixes, such as "Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Brand Chili Mix" or "2 Alarm Chili Mix". If using these mixes instead of separate ingredients, you will need two packages of mix to roughly equal the recommended amounts.

NOTE 3) both tomato sauce and tomato paste are used in this recipe. This is due primarily to sugar content and really does affect the overall flavor.

+ Start heating 5 cups of water in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in salt and tomato sauce. DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL!

+ Mix chopped onion & bell pepper with green chilies, while stirring in frying pan over low heat for 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl for later use.

+ Break up ground beef into small chunks (think of a good size for picking up with a tortilla chip), and place in covered frying pan to brown over medium heat. When half done, drain the grease. When done browning, drain any remaining grease, then stir in onion/pepper mixture from bowl.

+ While beef is browning, stir in all spices (but NOT masa flour) to liquid in pot, mix thoroughly.

+ When beef is browned, stir tomato sauce into liquid in pot, then add beef and stir very thoroughly.

+ Cover pot and allow to simmer over low heat for 1/2 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.

+ Stir in masa flour, and continue to simmer another 15 minutes. While simmering, drain liquid from beans.

+ Stir in beans, and continue to simmer another 15 minutes.

+ Serve immediately, with lots of tortilla chips for dipping (use instead of a spoon). A dark beer will help wash it down. If you would rather have soft drinks, Squirt or Fresca are excellent choices and their flavor complements the spices very nicely.
