Nope. But you could use chile peppers.:D:D:D:D:D

Yes, I know that it is spelled chile in many parts of Latin America. But, that spelling seems to just apply to the actual peppers, not to something like a bowl of chili con carne. Here on the Texas/Mexico border, chili seems to be the predominant spelling. But, further west, border towns/states seem to favor chile (at least that's what I've heard).

Yeah, "chile" is the Mexican word for the hot pepper. In other parts of South America it´s called "Ají". A while ago, I just got tired of seeing chile, chili, chilli, and even chilly, so I decided I´d just use the Mexican (nahuatl) term. Of course, the Spanish conquistadores further confused the issue by calling it "pimiento", thinking it was related to the pepper (black/green/white) plant - which of course it´s not. The French called it piment and the bloody English just translated it into pepper. An etymological cock up.
