What does this mean?

Hot and spicy chilli con carni, for people like me who dont like chillies. I like my chilli hot! but please adjust the spices according to your pallet. This is possibly the cheapest version of a chilli con carni you'll ever find, and left overnight in the fridge, it's even better the next day
