Samsa is a traditional Central Asian pastry, often baked in a tandoor. Its triangular shape seals in juicy fillings like lamb or chicken, making it a popular, travel-friendly food along the ancient Silk Road.

Chili soup, or chili con carne, originated in 19th-century Texas, blending Mexican and Native American influences. It began as a simple stew of meat, chili peppers, and spices, gaining popularity through San Antonio’s "Chili Queens" and later spreading across the U.S.

Feel free to adjust the ingredients and seasonings to your taste. Some variations include adding pickles, capers, or using a different type of mustard.
