In honour of this thread, I’m having chili right now. I brought in some spicy Thai tuna to have with some naan bread, but I also had a can of Stagg Steakhouse chili at my desk. So I added some hot sauce to it, and am having naan bread with that instead.
Sure, it’s out of a can, but it’s still OK for lunch. I’m making a batch of my own on Saturday to take to a neighbourhood party. I’ll save some for myself though.
Eating Skyline right now. Three cheese coneys with everything and a Greek salad. Maximum nommage.
Well, there is a Mexican dish called “carne con chile,” so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a linguistic reversal or something. Anyhow, is the point that there should be more chili peppers than meat? Or are you saying that “chili” refers to something else, and meat isn’t necessary? It’s clear that “chili” refers to chili peppers there. Supposedly, the first recipe documented as “chili con carne” had tomatoes, salt, chili peppers, and meat. If you look at canned chilis in the grocery store in America, many brands have “Chili” and “Chili with beans” as distinct choices.

Of course. The meat is just a filler.
And as a bonus: The Chili Judge by W. Bruce Cameron.
Clothahump, did you mean to list armadillos there as a shelled animal? I don’t think possums have shells. Though I confess to not being up on all their culinary applications. And I’m surprised you don’t mention venison as a recommended meat: I’ve had some absolutely amazing venison chilis.
Well comrades, looks like I’m another communist, as, though I love hot spicy food (As in currys) I don’t really enjoy Chilli.
However, I do think that you should at the very least, spend a long sentence in confinement, for aggravated bacon dislking.
I’m making a pot of chili right now! Like I said, I could eat chili every meal for the rest of my life.
ETA: Of course I believe I’ve also said that about Indian food!
This is one of the things I love about this place. An OP is started telling us that she doesn’t like chili, and we all end up talking about the varieties of chili and how good they all are!
ETA: she may as well have started a thread talking about disliking cats made of bacon.
Bacon cats go GREAT in chili.
I have long since renounced all ambitions of world conquest. Rule the world and you have to fix stuff, and that’s boring.
And even if I hadn’t abandoned such ambitions, your worry would be illogical. If I were king and I HATED barbecue, I’d outlaw it entirely regardless of how many other people wanted it; if I were king and I LOVED barbecue, I would outlaw it for everyone but me & the inner circle just to be a jackass. The best you could hope for would be me not caring either way.
This is why private ownership of high-powered rifles and scopes is a necessary freedom.
As for 'mika’s OP, it is obvious that she has taken leave of her senses, and we are free to discuss the glory that is chili no matter what she intended.
Damn. I’m not even done reading the thread, and all I want NOW is chili
