History

Green Arrow's Chili is one of the spiciest entities known to the general superheroic community, and is rarely enjoyed by anyone other than Ollie himself, who reminds kids to get their parents to help them at home with preparation. It is best served with grated cheese and oyster crackers.

Trivia

• When the world was fundamentally altered during Trinity, the "foul, scorched taste" of Ollie's Chili was one of the few things capable of reminding a godlike Batman of the reality he had come from, when he was reminded of it by Dick Grayson.^[1]
• The only characters who seem to like Green Arrow's chili, or at least are able to eat it without screaming in pain, are Green Arrow himself and Batman.
