My in-laws love French's Chili-O seasoning, but their local supermarket
was bought by another company and they are no longer able to find this
package on the shelves. I can buy it for about $1.20 a package or they
can mail-order it, but I told them that I would ask online to see if
anyone knew of a clone recipe for the seasoning.

Is anyone familiar with the French's product and/or know of a clone
that would be a suitable replacement?

Thank you,
Dave

Sorry, I've never heard of it. Try "Grandma's" chili powder.

I don't understand what Carroll Shelby has to do with it (I know the
name - my BIL owned a Shelby and I bet he wishes he'd kept it)

I know him for his chili. When I was a teenager back in the days of
LBJ and the Tet Offensive and multiple asssinations of politically
important people like RFK and MLK, Wick Fowler's chili mix (0 thorough
4 alarm) was part of the cultural landscape in my home town in the
Dallas area. It was always on the shelves of the local markets.

However, judging by the company he allegedly kept, I'd say Wick
probably drove a cool car, too. A hot rod Lincoln maybe, or a souped
up Riviera...

But I really don't know.

Sooooo, you're judging him by his chili which is HOT either in the
physical or literal sense depending on which one you eat? OK, I can
accept that.
