"Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" featured a joint called Putz's Creamy Whip a few years ago. It was a waste of time!

Regularly featured in mole sauces in Mexican cuisine. I believe mole is just more generally a typical Mexican sauce made with chiles, so maybe if someone's headed that way, straighten them out on the "chili" thing - what they're really putting on their spaghetti is moles. Assuming they do use chiles, which I guess we could not at all take for granted even though real chili can't be made without chiles either.
