Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
And skyline is just another thing entirely.
Oh, I don't include that when I talk about chili. I love Skyline (with beans), but that's totally not what I meant.
yeah Texans (not me, mind you) often will say chili does NOT have beans.
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.)
Wait, Steph, you lived in Cincinnati and didn't believe in bean-less chili?
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.
Beanfuffle!
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.
Oh, no Consuela! I would not have thought cocoa powder would do you like that.
Exactly! Now I have to check mine, which I have had for a really long time.
was marked by a transition from people belonging to a community determined mostly by geography and class towards people belonging to societies determined by shared interests and/or goals that might cut across class and span greater geographical areas, and that seems to be even more true today.
Once more with gratitude for this society.
Chili: most excellent in many varieties no doubt, but since it has been 30+ years since I ate meat, beans are an essential part of chili for me, along with whatever else I happen to have around at the moment. eta: and I never eat onion so never that.
