[/img]Hello everybody and welcome to this week’s intercontinental TFC. You can tell it’s intercontinental because the pics seem to be sideways. Turn your screen around

In a move that may delight, dismay and confuse both seasoned count veterans and newbies alike, none of us have a clue what’s in this tin because I’ve never had it either. The question is, just how big or small is the dice? The Hatch Green Chile is a large chile, about the size of a banana, so how they’ve processed this we will see. Will I still be counting the darned things this time next week, who knows?!

Note that it’s a small tin. I’ve pictured it next to an egg just so you can see how it compares in size to....an egg!

Good luck and don’t forget to check if anyone’s guessed your number before you so you don’t duplicate.

Count deadline is tomorrow one hour before are rampant victory against the midlanders.

I usually try to get ones slightly smaller than a 4 oz tin of hatch green chiles

Wow! This is more difficult than the infamous Libby's Fruit Salad of 2015!

Knowing nothing about green chillis, especially when diced, I'm going for 165 pieces in 52 mls jus.

Good luck with this difficult count !

Some background : Hatch is a town 30 miles north of here on the banks of the Rio Grande which provides the water for 1000s of growing acres of these giant chiles. It’s a protected name (like champagne). Picking season is July and if you go past then you keep your car windows closed because the air is so peppery.

I'd go there just to BREAAAAAAAATHE.

I love my chillis, I love my heat!... it has no effect on me anymore. I'm like that guy on the Under Siege movie with the train where she maces him and he just blinks it off.

If I'd have known that, I'd have revised my selections

Good luck, Cabbage: it's always good to see new Estimators trying their hand.

But what has happened to all the old ones who reappeared for the Palace Count but have not been seen again since?

Come on, boys and girls! Shape up!

You have about a 1/2 hour left then I’m opening that most curious of tins because I think this count might take me a minute

RESULT 255 chile dices and a scant 21 mls of joose

Tarkys_ears (perhaps because of his renowned chile expertise) wins with 260!

icu81b4 nailed the joose on the head with 21! (And also extremely close to a win double with 240 chiles)

Commiserations to The Enclosure with a very respectable guess of 299/24.

I believe that gives Tarkys_ears 5pts, icu81b4 3pts Admiral? Please update the scoreboard if you don’t mind.

Thanks to all that took part in this most international of counts, now onto the really spicy business of giving Wolves a good thwupping
