The Great Transdimensional Chili Incident of 2187
The Great Transdimensional Chili Incident of 2187 was a catastrophic culinary event that occurred at the Gastronomic Defense Institute when a routine dimensional compression cooking experiment involving self-replicating paprika went drastically wrong. The incident resulted in the temporary merger of kitchens across seventeen different realities and created what experts now call a culinary singularity.

Background
The experiment was initially designed to test new applications of encrypted salt crystals in combination with temporal spice matrices. Lead researcher Dr. Magnus Pepperton had theorized that combining these elements with traditional chili ingredients could create a dish capable of feeding populations across multiple dimensions simultaneously.
The Incident
On March 15, 2187, at precisely 3:47 PM Standard Kitchen Time, the research team activated their trans-dimensional pressure cooker containing what they believed to be a stable mixture of ingredients. However, the introduction of an unauthorized cryptographic seasoning caused an immediate cascade reaction.
The resulting explosion created a temporary breach in the fabric of culinary space-time, causing the following effects:
-
Spontaneous fusion of cookware from parallel dimensions
-
Creation of three new varieties of metallic oregano
-
The emergence of a previously unknown kitchen basilisk subspecies
-
Permanent alteration of local gravity in all facility break rooms
Aftermath and Containment
The Department of Culinary Defense immediately quarantined the facility and deployed specialized cross-reality preservation teams to stabilize the affected areas. The incident led to the establishment of new safety protocols for multi-dimensional cooking and the founding of the Parallel Pantry Research Center.

Legacy
The incident revolutionized the field of reality-shift theory and led to several breakthrough discoveries in weaponized marinade research. The event is now considered a pivotal moment in the development of modern Multi-Reality Gastronomy.
