OK, is it Chile and chile (pepper and country) or Chile and chili?

In New Mexico chile for the peppers is almost always used. Here in Texas it is a mixture of chile and chili. Any linguistic preferences?

Chile (capitalized of course) and chile = the country and pepper, respectively....
chili = what Wolf's brand puts out! Just off the cuff, mind you...

Chili is a Texan invention. The word is "Chile".

The answer is Chile (República de Chile) is a country and chilé is a seasoning. Chili is a sort of stew.
