16. Jack’s Magic Compass Chili Stew

Normally the compass that we use while traveling on a ship helps in pointing out the north direction, but Jack’s compass is a bit different. The compass didn’t actually point out the north direction, but it pointed to what the owner wanted. Quite surreal, isn’t it? This chili stew is also like the magic compass. It will not eliminate your hunger need; rather, it will actually increase it because of its taste. If you love spicy flavors, then this recipe is just perfect for you.
