I didn't realize until I was in my 30s that chili without beans was a thing (my chili is very very beany). And while I love corn, I don't think I can support corn in chili.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

I'm from NM, I just throw up my hands at pretty much the rest of the US. Chili is a powder, chile is veg and a non-tomato based stew (which can have beans, not kidney, corn and hominy but MUST contain actual chile peppers) and the rest of that stuff is an imposter Texan spicy meat sauce.
And skyline is just another thing entirely.

yeah Texans (not me, mind you) often will say chili does NOT have beans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm totally on board with the chili-no-beans crowd. It's not what I make, but I'll take it as The Definition.

Wait, Steph, you lived in Cincinnati and didn't believe in bean-less chili?
...now I want chili. With meat AND beans. Because yum. Also with cheese and maybe sour cream. Potentially cornbread.

Oh, I don't include that when I talk about chili. I love Skyline (with beans), but that's totally not what I meant.

It's always true: different people like different shit. (But I love beans so much, it blows my mind that chili could consider not having beans in it.)

I believe it exists. But you can get Skyline with beans, which is the One True Way. Therefore, even Skyline (which, again, isn't what I'm talking about when I'm talking about chili) comes with beans, as is right and proper.

All this discussion needs is cilantro to get really fun.

You can totally use cilantro in NM chile. Mexican oregano dominates after the chile and onion in green chile stews but fresh cilantro on top isn't unusual. NSM in reds. Those get more of a creamy (cheese, egg) accompaniment.
