What's something modern you won't miss when it becomes obsolete?

Ok, now you've been completely corrupted. No self-respecting chili maker puts beans in their chili. Geez, beans are worse than tomatoes.

You need both to be REAL chili.

Talking fast food burgers? Whichever is closer...McDonalds, Burger King, Whataburger, Sonic etc. I wouldn't walk across the street to get to one over the other. When I want a good burger, there are several non fast food type places that are far superior...Five Guys, Smashburger, Beck's Prime...not to mention the mom and pop places.

I know you just go to Five Guys to fill up on and stash away peanuts---tell us the truth.

What's with the right way, wrong way with chilli? The Mexicans put cocoa in their's. I wouldn't have thought it edible until I tried it.

Mexicans don't really eat "chili". It's pretty much an American invention (Texas to be specific). They have mole, which often contains chocolate (the native way, not the European way with milk and sugar).

As for the "right way", it's beef, fat, chiles and other spices to taste. That's it. No tomatoes, no beans, no cinnamon, or any of that other crap popular with the hippie crowd.

On the contrary, Hippies do it your way. It is easier and they can get back to smoking dope faster.

Is this what you mean?
Sorry, I thought the conversation was about the chilli, in chilli-con-carne.

The real way takes hours or days to prepare, like barbecue. There is nothing fast about it. Adding all the crap is what makes it easy.

That's exactly what were talking about...chili, which is short for chili con carne.

You have to cook it a long time because skunk meat needs it. lol lol

I'm beginning to think you're a closet hippie. I bet you wear Birkenstocks and eat granola, don't you?

Don't get testy because I outed your Hippie chili. I guess I was wrong. You guys make it with Armadillo down there. You guys ate all the skunks already.lol lol

As an Alabamian who has formerly resided in the Republic of Texas (aka occupied Mexico) I will gladly second Senor Hawk's assessment. Proper "chili" ( note' one L) or chili con carne as it is often known is made with meat (preferably NOT) hamburger) chili peppers, garlic, onions, and appropriate spices; usually cumin and oregano. No beans and preferably no tomatos, although a beer or two to make the broth is fine. Essentially like another,further western dish, carne adovado, or carne en adobo.
Chilli (note, 2 Ls) is the concoction that more closely resembles spaghetti sauce with beans consumed in most of the rest of America. Not always bad, but definately a different kind of dish entirely. Why, some folks have even been known to use chicken instead of meat in it.
It's that extra L that causes the confusion. If you are expecting "chili" and someone seves you "chilli" or vice versa, often dissapointment or hard feelings can result.

btw - I love beans, all kinds of 'em, just don't want 'em in my chili. But that also makes me somewhat of an odd bird here in the heart of dixie.

Sorry for the rant, but it is a sore topic for me. Also, to get back on topic somewhat, putting chicken or turkey in "chilli" is a product of the times I'd like no more of. Especially folks who use chicken and navy beans and non-chili spices to make "white chilli". What an abomination!

I'll let you off with the L thing but you are still wrong.

Chili con carne is beef slow cooked in a sauce made from peppers. There is a red and a green version with the red being the more traditional. Beans or frijolies,(usually pinto beans) prepared whole or creamed i.e. refried, are a serperate dish.
Chilli made with beans ,tomatoes, peppers and other spices is a Tex-mex dish.

Sacriledge! I think both sides can agree on that.

 

[dh66]

WTF?? That's not even "chili" or "chilli". That's just vegetable soup.
