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.

Ollie gave Hal his recipe for "wilderness chili," the secret ingredient being mushrooms.[2]
