I know this has been beat to death but me and a buddy were arguing about it. Help us out.

Poll Inbound.

If it has beans it is a chilli flavored stew.

Chilli, by definition, can onlyu have meat, water and spices...

Green or Red

Beans in chili make the Baby Jesus give teh Sacred Spinning Backfist to little puppies.

(Don't) Do it for the puppies, man!

This is getting really out of hand, but this is GD I guess. NO BEANS. WJ

chili - beans = sloppy joe.

I locked my store to respond to this madness.

CHILI NEEDS BEANS!

Did not know that...  

I love learning...

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

This.

I'm from CT and I try to tell Echo_5 NO BEANS!!! He made me put up the poll to prove him wrong.

Looks like the beans is winning.

No beans.

I'll be back in a moment to clarify this for any mucus brained twats that can't figure this out.

people who don't put beans in chili are just too dumb to cook anything other than meat.


Beans add more flavor and texture to the chili....why would you NOT want more flavor and texture.

Hai I'm back...

Okay you ignorant mother fucking yankee twats.

After ration, cordiality, and reason for years of these quarterly stupid fucking threads I've damned well had it - chili doesn't have fucking beans in it. Chili with beans does. See the difference? Is that so goddamned hard to fucking comprehend?

Don't like it? Get a goddamned time machine and change the first laws ever written about the subject. Then start your own yankee shit-chili world chili festival - I'm sure the masses will quickly abandon the years old standard when your International Poor-fuck-filler Chili Festival kicks off.

I've seen every dip-fuck irrational, delusional, window-licker comment you heathens have to offer. Spaghetti sauce? Apparently you driveling dolts don't know how to make that either - last I checked, spaghetti sauce has TOMATOES in it. Oh yeah, you nutless wonders throw that in chili, too - see beans.

Oh, well perhaps it's a regional difference. For the slow ones (if you're not sure if this applies, see if you put beans in chili - if you do, this is for you) - the theory is maybe chili can mean "with beans" to someone from one (sad, pathetic) place, while it can mean without beans to folks from elsewhere. That argument would almost hold water with a somewhat rational group of people, but for this group of obsessive-compulsive socially un-adept basement dwellers that lose sleep over "clip vs mag" and take pride in the number of posts that they've made explaining flash-hider vs flash suppressor, or will collectively dedicate 8 fucking pages of a thread railing someone for calling an AR and "assault rifle" that doesn't fucking fly. You fuckers want accurate nomenclature? You fucking got it. Fucking chili doesn't have beans in it.

I'm sorry that your daddy didn't make enough money at the steel mill to afford the ingredients for a proper batch of chili, and commend your mother for making do with fillers to feed your ingnorant pie-hole, but that doesn't make the shit that you ate "chili."

Why can't you hemorrhaged assholes figure this the fuck out? Is it that goddamned hard? Are you so hung up on your mama that you can't face the fact that she may not have been the authority on all things? Or are you apes so culinarilly stunted that you believe "well the way we do it's gotta be right?"

If you don't get it by now, there's no hope. You're fucking excrement. Not unlike a poorly trained lab rat, you can't think beyond the confines of your sad little maze. Get the fuck over (or simply go fuck) yourselves.

Have a nice day,
53vortec

CT.. nevermind

what the fuck?  You don't know shit about chili, or even sloppy joes
sloppy joes don't even have fucking chili powder in them.



Beans is an add in to chili.  Chili does not need beans.

Who the fuck is voting "Beans"

No frigg'n beans ...

Beans, beans, the magical friut, put them in your chili, and you make soup.

Poor mans filler.

Done!

ETA:  FU and the beans you ruin your chili with!

Legumes are fine...................



JUST NOT IN CHILI

For Christ's sake... how about just eating what you like?

I'm not a big fan of beans. Most times, I won't put them in my chili.

Sometimes however, I'm "in the mood" for beans... so in they go.

Either way... mmmm, good!

Beans have no place in chili

CHILI WITHOUT BEANS IS SAUCE.

+1


chili has to have BEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEGATIVE

Gotta have beans.

How, exactly, do you make tomato sauce?

Because, I make "beanless" chili all the time.

I also make my own tomato sauce, all the time.

The two aren't even close.

I think you're making one of them wrong.

chili - beans = sloppy joe sauce

If you don't know the difference between chili and Manwhich you fail at life.

its MEAT sauce. not tomato sauce.

go make sloppy joes with your beanless chili, cause thats all its good for

you are wrong.

maybe chili - beans - chili powder + ketsup = sloppy joe



there are no beans in chili.

So you guy suck at sauce too? Fuck, it's worse than I thought up there.

so what am I supposed to do with this can of chili beans?

This.

BTW, when "real" chili was being created canned beans weren't "accessible" to your lowly cookie out on the range.  Beans most certainly would have been added if it didn't take as much water to cook them as they do. Your arguments about them being filler is EXACTLY why they would have been used on the range as beans are much easier to store, they were cheap and as good of a protein as beef/lamb/pig.

Basically, I will say this.  I agree with 53Vortec.  I'm sick and tired of this stupid argument.  Texas chili has no beans, chili with beans is still chili but it's not Texas chili.

BTW, I blame the TX crew for the majority of these arguments because they absolutely refuse to act civil in these threads.  You know what is right and it's really not your job to educate someone, especially if they are so adamant that they are right.

You could make some chili beans, but that's likely to confuse most here.

Coney dog sauce to be more specific.

Beans were commonplace chuckwagon fare.

even though  im from texas, i do like beans in chili

Proceed to the nearest DPS station, surrender you TX DL/CHL, and leave via the most direct route.

If you want them served together, put some chili in your beans.

I like beans in chili also, but that is known as chili with beans or chili beans.  Chili itself does not include the beans.

Not sure I would have worded it exactly that way, but I'd have to say that is a definitive answer right there.  






 

He asked about Chili, not Texas Red Chili.

In during all the blubbering by the Texans.
 

"Texas Red" is some name that a yankee trying to save face after he figured out he was wrong came up with.

Have never heard it referred to as such in Texas.

Okay... I make tomato sauce for pasta all the time. When I want a "meat sauce", I make a meat sauce.

It bears no resemblance to chili... with or without beans.

If your chili, without beans, resembles pasta sauce, you're making one of them wrong.


This isn't really a "Beans/No Beans" argument.

If your chili is just "pasta sauce",  without the inclusion of beans... try again.

Beans are pulling away in the poll.

I don't get all worked up over the beans issue.  It's an option.  But if any of the "it ain't chili if it has beans" crowd puts TOMATOES or Tomato Sauce in their chili (and I'll bet that's the majority) than you're less of a chili "purist" than you think.  That is the true dividing line between real chili and pretend chili.
