In the spirit of the hot dog topic (and sgtar15's geek attack about ketchup), I thought I'd throw this one out for discussion. To me, real chili has CUBED (not ground) BEEF and NO BEANS. No chocolate, no cinnamon, no tomatoes. Beef, garlic, chili powder, flour, black pepper, that's all. My wife's family is from Rhode Island and puts ground beef, tomato paste, beans and freakin' CORN in their chili. hat So what's the arfcom opinion? |

My fellow Leatherneck, come to GA. My chilli from scratch will have you singing the Marine Hymn! |
Looks like a surely EVIL recipe for Methane production!

With beans in it, I will certainly be singing from at least one orifice! On the other hand, my chili starts out with five pounds of lean cubed stew beef. I use four different kinds of fresh chile peppers as well as canned chipotle peppers and ancho chili powder. Diced onions, celery, fresh cilantro, bell peppers, garlic. The spice mix is long and varied. This is hardly just meat and sauce. We're talking about a wideband, full-on gastronomic experience.  Jimi says: Have you ever been experienced?

Once again, if ain't got beans, it's just hot-dog sauce. Though I do like your choice of spices. Similar to mine. BTW, what type of blade is that, and Bravo Zulu on the HK. |
My chili would outflank any hot dog known to man, pound it with preparatory fires, assault its position with fire and maneuver and destroy it, leaving only a soggy bun with the flag of Chilistan flying over mount Hotdogbachi!
That's the Sky Marshall by TOPS Knives. Just like my chili, I would describe this blade as beefy. |
I prefer Swift, Silent and Deadly. In and out before you know it but beware of claymores left behind! |

Beans are considered an adulterant to any legitimate chili cookoff. Beans in chili suck. The godless communist beotch next door puts fucking LIMA beans in hers. I know where I'm startin' when the dam finally bursts lol. THAT'S JUST JOKE, Mr. Ashcroft/Adm. Poindexter. |
Canned beans?  Geeze, if you're gonna use them make them from scratch!
