Spices are a bit different, but they taste similar. At least, to me. There’s also Empress and Dixie Chili, which are also slight variations on the recipe.

They all have cinnamon, which is absurd to me. But, hey, regional differences and different strokes for different folks!
It was a recipe brought by Greek immigrants to Cincinnati a little more than a century ago. IIRC.
I thought it was chocolate? 
Don't get me wrong, I love Greek food--during my year in Baltimore, I lived within walking distance of the Greektown neighborhood on the southeast side (so, Canton / Highlandtown)--but not everything the Greeks did was correct.

There might be some variation with it, but that isn’t the original recipe.
Just something I grew up with. My wife is from Alabama, took her awhile to adjust.
Again, I won't judge. I'm from Chicago, but live in eastern Iowa, where pretty much everything, but especially a pork tenderloin, gets deep-fried.
Which makes me which I had money on my SNAP card right now, because a pork T sounds delicious for dinner tonight, but I already promised a pasta dinner to the lady.
Here in the Puget Sound, it's Nalley's Chili that served in the stadiums. It's the "classic" beef and beans, but the canned comes in a variety of different textures/flavors. There's "No Bean", "Big Chunk", "Jalapeño", "Turkey", "Vegetarian", "Cheese", and "Onion".
The Cubs should have picked up another starting pitcher or two. Hendricks is done, he's not fooling anybody at all anymore.
They need to trade him and Cuas for a cheeseburger and fries.

Those could also be warm bodies that are chewed up.
Well, Cool Kyle is now on the injured list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. He's always been rough in April, but this month has been historically bad, even by his standards.
Cuas was one of the best relievers in baseball last year, though, so I'm not quite ready to cut ties with him just yet.
This Cubs team has such goofy, fun-loving vibes that I would love to see Greinke on the roster, just to see how his weirdo ass interacts with everyone else. That, and I think Greinke is going to be this generation's Jamie Moyer, getting people out with 71mph changeups because he sets them up with an 83mph fastball and doing it until he's like 50.
IDK if avoiding surgery for whatever was ailing Kyle last year was the right move, but it was clear something was going on. He's never been able to blow hitters away, but the trickery is gone. I think they better start him at AAA eventually and see if he's got anything left. Maybe he could be a reliever, it's worked for Smyly.
Christopher Morel is certainly having fun no matter what. Here he celebrates his grand slam with Shota Imanaga.

Cool Kyle was mostly fine last year outside of his traditional bad April. It was 2022 that the capsular tear in his shoulder was discovered and he elected to treat it with rest and rehab, and I think it's clear now that that was the wrong decision, especially because his delivery has been really fucked this season; he's over-extending on everything and isn't hiding his pitches anymore.
Jeez, was it 2022? Everything's a blur now.
Well, I mean, the Cubs won the World Series in 2016, the Gates of Hell opened up and Donald Trump took the presidency, and then COVID happened, and I'm pretty sure we've all aged about 25 years in the past eight. (I know my back and knees would certainly agree with that sentiment...)
I'm not seeing any indication Kyle is on the IL at this point. Most stories are about how he should be in the BP, or just gone.
Cuas has been sent to Iowa, so good luck with that. Keegan Thompson has been recalled.
I cannot see Hendricks' stuff working out of the bullpen. His strikeout rate is abysmal, and his swing-and-miss rates on all of his pitches are at career lows (he literally hasn't gotten a swing and a miss this entire season on both his curveball and his four-seamer, and only two on his sinker, the last of which has always been his bread and butter). And since he seems to be incapable of disguising his pitches anymore, he isn't getting the soft contact that has buoyed him throughout his career.
