chili queen

Rfv-sense: "(US, historical) A Mexican woman who sold chili con carne as street food in San Antonio, Texas."

This specific? A particular historic figure? Any woman selling/promoting/using chili products? Only in San Antonio? Capitalization? DCDuring (talk) 13:26, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

2018 April 16, Katherine Lam, “Chili grower defends world’s hottest pepper after man hospitalized”, in New York Post:

Shahina Waseem, called Britain’s “Chili Queen,” also defended eating the Carolina Reaper and said the pain usually doesn’t last for a prolonged period — though she did admit eating the pepper makes her feel like she’s “dying” for a bit.

Maybe add this as a citation.

Isn't San Antonio just the locus of origin of a collocation? Does the woman have to be a Mexican citizen? DCDuring (talk) 14:33, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the entry a bit and added citations, it should be clear that the definition doesn't refer to a single person.

I wrote the def. It didn't mean one specific woman, of course, but Mexican women who did this job in a certain time and place. Equinox ◑ 21:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
