An Arizona chef used fillet of road runner; the Tennessee champion boasted of his raccoon. The Hawaiian contingent made its stock (it said) from a "tired Samoan fighting cock." Californian and Texan experts used some 40 varieties of chili peppers, ranging from the relatively mild Big Jim to a Tahitian product that would blow the bow off the Bounty.
