small "witches" cauldrons?). Bake the cornbread, let it cool. Cut
off the top, carefully scoop out the middle (oooh, cornbread for
crumbs for turkey or pork chop stuffing/dressing). Brush the inside
of the "bowl" with melted butter (I'd have to skip the olive oil and
garlic treatment; the texture of cornbread wouldn't work with that)
and toast the bowls. Then fill with chili and serve. How's that?Jill
Sounds fantabulous! :-)
Nice presentation too just to leave them in the little cast iron
cauldrons. I know I have a couple of those around, but I'd have to
clean them really well.They are full of sand. I've been using them to burn incense powder on
those charcoal block thingies. <G>Cheers!
Someone here recently picked up one of those at a yard sale - it's a potjie?
Little cauldron. Very cute. I wouldn't mind being served chili in a
cornbread bowl in one, especially around All Hallows Eve!http://www.mysticconvergence.com/store/view_product.php?product=NT-Many

Those are cute! :-)
Ours were wider at the top tho' and more plain. Just smooth sides with 3
little feet and a handle. No lid. I've done a bunch of google searches
and could not find them!
I did, however, find this, and am very VERY tempted to bid on a set:
