Quote HistoryQuoted: I have seen handwritten "recipes" here in Yankee land that are a jar of spaghetti sauce, a pound of ground turkey, a tablespoon of chili powder, and a couple cans of beans. Please hunt down those recipes and toss them in a burn barrel. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can't we just accept the fact that there's chili that has beans in it, and there's chili that doesn't. Like someone already pointed out, it's all about the meat, the sauce, and the spice. I've had some mighty fine chili with beans, and I've had chili without which I enjoy just as much. Instead of worrying about the damn beans worry about the consistency is the chili more like soup or is it nice and thick? Actually I believe the best chili I've ever had not only had beans but it had the little red chili peppers in it as well. It's been well over twenty years since I had that chili and I can still remember it. I was hoping to win using ChatGPT but that piece of shit AI also had a reasonable answer.    |

Quoted: Ladies and gentlemen, gather round as I unveil the unspeakable travesty that has befallen our beloved culinary world: beans in chili. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Beans? In chili? How bad could it possibly be?" Brace yourselves. First and foremost, let's consult the annals of chili history. Chili con carne, a dish with roots deep in the heartland of Texas, was birthed in a world where the simple marriage of meat and spices was more than sufficient. It was a symphony of flavors, an ode to the prowess of the cowboy, and an anthem to the heat of the desert. But somewhere along the line, someone thought, "You know what this perfect dish needs? Beans." That's like saying the Mona Lisa needs a nose ring or Beethoven's 9th Symphony needs a rap solo. It's an affront to tradition and an absolute culinary catastrophe. Beans are traitorous little nuggets of deceit. They masquerade as meaty morsels but are nothing more than filler, distracting from the rich tapestry of flavors that chili inherently provides. They're like that one person who insists on singing along at a concert even though they're tone-deaf; they just don't belong. And from a texture perspective? Oh, don't even get me started. A good chili should have a harmonious consistency, with the meat being the star. Introducing beans into the mix is like inviting a marching band to a ballet performance. Suddenly, there's chaos, discord, and a lot of people questioning their life choices. Not to mention the gastrointestinal repercussions. Beans are notorious for their, ahem, musical side effects. Is that what we want for our chili eaters? A symphony of flatulence? I think not! Lastly, think of the children. Do we want to raise a generation that believes beans belong in chili? What other culinary monstrosities will they come to accept? Pineapple on pizza? Milk before cereal? The horror! So, next time someone suggests adding beans to chili, remember this impassioned plea. For the love of all things sacred in the culinary world, JUST SAY NO. Let us preserve the sanctity of chili, untainted and bean-free, for generations to come. Who are you who are so wise in the ways of chili?  |

Texas style chili = no beans, no tomato, chunks of beef, basically a tasty spicy beef stew.
Non-texas style chili = ground beef (or venison/elk etc), beans ok, tomato ok, basically a tasty spicy meat sauce. Cincinnati chili = an abomination that shouldn't exist. |

Chili has beans. This reminds me of the morons who get mad when someone refers to people from the United States as "americans".
"Buh wuh wuh about South and Central Americans! Could be them, so it doesn't mean people from the US!! Durrr!". Which is dumb and bullshit. Ask everyone in the world to point to an American and 9/10 will point to the guy holding the US flag. Words mean things, and if you did a poll most people by far would say chili has fucking beans. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you see my previous argument? What exactly is the sin rice commits against chili? No one has answered yet. Ah, the age-old debate of adding rice to chili. To truly understand why some might consider this a cardinal sin in the culinary world, we must delve deep into the heart of chili tradition, the passion of purists, and the essence of flavor profiles. Prepare for a whirlwind of emotions and scalding truths! Sacred Simplicity: Chili, in its original form, is a celebration of minimalism. It basks in the glory of meat, spices, and sauce. This trinity, so to speak, is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. Rice, with its distinct flavor and texture, disrupts this sanctified trio, and in doing so, detracts from the very essence of chili. Textural Turmoil: Chili has a rich, chunky, and meaty texture that allows each ingredient to shine. Introducing rice into this beautiful medley turns the experience into a muddied clash of textures. It's the gastronomic equivalent of wearing polka dots with stripes. Flavor Fidelity: For chili purists, the intense, spicy, and smoky flavor of chili shouldn't be diluted or tamed. Rice, as a neutral and absorbent ingredient, acts as a sponge. It can mute the chili's potent profile, robbing one's palate of the full chili experience. Historical Honor: Tradition plays a significant role in food. Some chili aficionados hold on to recipes passed down through generations, cherishing the authenticity and story behind each dish. Adding rice, for some, might feel like rewriting a cherished family history. The Balance of Boldness: Chili is bold; it's a dish that demands attention. It's not meant to be a side note or a mere companion. Adding rice may be perceived by some as relegating chili to the role of a sauce or a topping, which for chili enthusiasts, is nothing short of sacrilege. So, the next time you're tempted to merge these two worlds, remember: for some, chili isn't just a dish; it's an experience, a tradition, and a bold statement. To them, adding rice might just be akin to diluting the very soul of chili! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Chili has beans. Pasta sauce is completely different. I would venture to guess that most of you Texans would eat roadkill armadillo as long it had tomato and chilies. Roadkill armadillo is quite handy. You can be walking down the road, see one, build a fire, and cook it in its own shell. No pots or pans needed. Try to do that with chili...with or without beans.

Condensed history of chili:
People have always stewed meat and spices since there was fire and a cooking pot, but we're talking about a SPECIFIC version that has a definite taste profile. The dish we know as chili today originated in the area around San Antonio, sometime around the early 1800s. WITHOUT BEANS. Chili is first mentioned by name around 1880. Chili started becoming very popular and spread out from there. Northerners lost their minds by turning it into a soup and adding beans. The end. |

Another argument in favor of Texas: The powdered spice most people call chili is primarily made from peppers in Texas. They certainly weren't grown in Pennsylvania, Illinois, or some of the other states that blanch at the idea of spice. Ergo: Chili is a Texas dish.
