I've never come across them anywhere but they do have dried ones.

Dried ones is what I meant.

Just make sure they get a good ten minute boil during the cooking process......

No if they are dried they should have a soak overnight in water.

Soak of course. But they must be boiled (i.e. not simmered) for at least 10 minutes to inactivate the toxin (phytohaemagglutnin) .

Actually you need to soak them overnight or boil for 3 hours. Don't add the salt untill the last half hour or the skins will be tough.

OK, I can confirm cinnamon has no place being anywhere near chilli and beans. It tastes so out of place.

Many would disagree with you. You have very limited tastes and imagination so stick with adding ketchup to ground beef and mixing in a can of Heinz beans.

Um no, for a start if I was going to I would use proper tomato sauce, not that sweet concoction ketchup that the yanks like so much, and I always use fresh (dried) beans, I don't use cans of anything when I cook if I can help it, and I reiterate, regardless of current trends, cinnamon has no place in a dish like that. It tastes completely out of place. I urge others to give it a go and tell us what you think.
I use turmeric and paprika and black pepper. I took your suggestion, cinnamon and tried it. Don't like it. Sorry if that offends your sensitive ego snowflake.

Just like a brit to turn chili into a curry.

Doesn't offend me in the least. You obviously know nothing about cooking which is not surprising.

Turmeric has a lot of uses besides curry, I wouldn't expect someone who uses cinammon in a beef dish to understand that though.
Poor old Humberts ego is easily bruised. Better go find a safe space somewhere.

The difference between a creative person and an dullard who thrives on orthodoxy like you I suppose.
