SN's 'The Best Chili in the World'

You might need a Loblaws or No Frills store for the PC (President's Choice) brand and the Yves stuff.  The Lundberg short grain rice and Yves food can be found in health food stores if it's not at your grocery store.

PC brand is a Canadian brand. You can find it in the US under the name Private Selection at many grocers, and as Sam's Choice at Walmart and Sam's Club. (Thanks to Latricia for this info.)
