Sweet and Savory

  • March 16, 2019, 4:02pm

I was going to describe my sweet and spicy chili as "savory," until searching and finding that "savory" means spicy and salty, but not sweet. So what better adjective to describe my rich and tasty chili that contains tomato paste, and about 1/4 cups chili powder, beef bouillon powder and brown sugar?
