Well, I guess I haven't acquired it yet. I am eating the Skyline as I write this and I really wanted to like it.
1. Yes it is very salty. Generally we like spicy foods so I was able to tolerate it but just barely.
2. Consistency --it seemed more like a mushy soup than chili -- our chile usually has the consistency of, say perhaps, sloppy joe's -- not so soupy -- you cannot eat this with a fork -- it requires a spoon.
3. It did have a little heat "kick" to it - perhaps it was the paprika - which I did not mind.
4. I tasted a strong flavor of either 5-spice or Chinese All-spice, two flavors I don't care for.
5. I will not be buying this ever again.
