2-3 pownds uf bufflo, mule or rattlesnake
1 ½ qorts coal oil
Rusty horse shoe nails
This here recipe for chill has dun ben handed down to me
throo ages uf McDouglas. The oldest
McDougalta use this here recipe wus a cunfedarut genrul by the name of
Buferd H. Boregard McDougal (God rest his sole). During the civul War he was in charge of
keepin the Yankey Toorists out of Florida by garding I-20. He failed miserably,
but we won’t talk bout that out in the open like. Anyways, member not to share this here recipe
with noooooobody, lessen ya want to stir up the ole vile McDougal kurse what
was used agin tha Magrooders back in 09.
Start with 2-3 pownds uf coarse bufflo, mule, or rattlesnake meat. Beef can be used in a pinch, but mule is mah
favrite. Fry tha meat with one union
till the smoke is barely standable. In a
pot ( with a strong bottom) start off your sause with 1 ½ qorts of coal oil,
use kerosene or water. ( Afire under the
pot ain’t needed iffin ya use kerosene).
Iffin water is used, bring it up to a boil and add 3 beef booleol,
bullion, bullyon, buulillion cubes to flavor it up some. Add ta that:
6 cactus roots, a pint of Dr. Twinkerbilli’s Saxet Retaw, one Owl egg
(in season), and a handful uf rusty horseshu nails. Iffin your local mercantile don’t carry all
that, you can use 6 tablespoons chilly powter, 1 ½ tablespoon garlic salt, 4
tablespoon cumin, and 1/3 cup corn mel.
Stir they with a short handelled shuval.
This here stuff has gotta boil until the rusty nails are plum brite un
shinny ta look at, then lower the fire an simmer it a few minuts.
Note: I like ta add a
pinch uf gun powter about now fer kick.
Add tha meat an unyuns to the sause and add a small can uf diced
chillys. Iffin yor reltives, what cum
frum Wyomin, are visitin in tha bunk house, ya can add a con uf Ranch Style
Beans and a can uf Mators iffin ya want ta stretch it some. Iffin ya want them there reltives ta take
themselves home, add a bunch of red pepper to yor chilly. This will also cure yur prize pig uf head
colds. I like mah chilly thick nuff ta
eat with mah hands, so I thichen it with cornstarch or smear it on the bed uf
tha wagon fer a few days. Iffin ya just
painted yor wagon, this aint such a good idey.
My Pad made sum of this here chilly in the wash pot in the front yard
and put so much pepper in it that he wus the onliest one that could eat it. Maw and us kids ate left over turnips,
backbone, and compone. I recollect one
time he made chilly with a mess uh possum he dun shot. It ate the shovel off tha hannel and Maw had
to brake the garden with a grubbing ho, kum Spring. Ya’ll be reel carful and don’t’s tell
nooooobody bout what I dun tole ya, cause this here resipee is a family
secrit. I don’t want the McDougal kurse
whupped up on me like it dun happen ta tha Magrooders. Why, ain’t nun of them people been able to
shoot straite or carry a tune since . . .
