Axe they are twice the size as they were when i started to soak them - but the bowl isn't too big which probably helps!
SS i like it for a change - your 100% right its just a chilli with no con carne - i had to make it and post the pics cos i dont think Chris's pic did his recipe justice.
Anyway this is so simple in the pressure cooker - can be made quite easily in a pan with tinned beans
best, Rich
