The word Chile (with a capital, and no I don't mean Santiago) is a country which covers quite a lot of the Pacific coast of South America.

The word chile (without a capital) means one of the fruit of the capsicum family, often called peppers, which may have a hot and spicy flavour due to the presence of the chemical capaiscin.
