Quoted: Chili should be a seamless experience, every bite a homage to its rich heritage. Beans are the speed bumps on the road to flavor town. Why would anyone willingly choose a bumpy ride? View Quote My chili has so much fucking flavor in it, that the beans absorb the flavor and there is still plenty to spare. That's why it takes two days to cook. |

Quoted: I made this chart eons ago, and most of the people in this thread seem to follow the pattern... https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/38579/11120.JPG View Quote It looks like you did some of your research for this in San Francisco bath houses. With that bit of context, it makes perfect sense why they wouldn't want to be eating beans. |

There’s a historian that says that even the Chili Queens used beans occasionally.

Quoted: Beans are disgusting filler for poors who can't afford a true all meat chili. The same goes for rice, etc. You may ADD beans TO chili, but beans do not MAKE chili, chili. now... /thread. View Quote On a side note, the habits I formed when I was broke as fuck, made me the man I am today. They are good habits to have, even though it's good to splurge now and then. My chili has beans. It also has ground venison, to help fill the spaces between chunks of venison backstrap, because I like venison with my venison. |

Quoted: 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. Q.E.D. View Quote The twenty pepper plants I have growing in my garden disagree. You may have heard of these things called gardens, filled with green things. You start off with rich soil (yes, I know, another foreign concept to a Texan). Then you add water. Water is this wet substance that is also rare in many parts of Texas, except for when you get hurricanes. Then you add sun, something that you have too much of (except for when you don't, and half of your state is freezing to death, in what we called "shorts and t shirt weather" up here). |

Quoted: You can’t even get Tex to admit that chili is actually Mexican and not cowboy. View Quote I think it's more Texican than anything else. Texican is what Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) called LaBoeuf (Glen Campbell). Which makes this the perfect place to insert an appropriate quote about Texans, by Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne). Mattie Ross: That tastes like iron. LaBoeuf: You're lucky to be where water's so handy. I've seen the time I've drank out of a filthy hoofprint - and was glad to get it. Rooster Cogburn: If ever I meet one of you Texas waddies who ain't drunk water from a hoofprint, I think I'll... I'll shake their hand or buy 'em a Daniel Webster cigar. Rooster Cogburn: How long you boys down there been mounted on sheep? I know this hurts, my brothers from Texas. Breathe deeply. |

Quoted: You can’t even get Tex to admit that chili is actually Mexican and not cowboy. View Quote It’s not Mexican, it’s Spanish. Developed from a stew Spanish settlers cooked. If it was Mexican it likely would’ve been all beans, lol. It also featured more game meats than livestock, venison being more popular. So beef would’ve been a “when available” ingredient. Maybe more common to cowboys on cattle drives than the average settler, but cowboys ate alot of beans too. Have to remember that cows were the rancher’s commodity, not the drover’s. |

Pineapple on pizza is delicious but needs to be small pieces.
Chili doesnt come from texas but i do enjoy a texas red. Probably one of the best chili dishes out there. The yankee bean soup still has a place... It has some nostalgia for me. |

FPNI.
I like the textural difference, and the flavor. Plus it adds protein, fiber and nutrients. For pregnant women, beans are high in folate, thought to prevent neural tube defects. What better vehicle than chili? Add in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium, not to mention zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, and vitamins B1, B6, E, and K... Good stuff. It makes chili not just beef soup. |

Quoted: Beans in chili, the rest is spaghetti sauce View Quote If you think chili without beans is ground beef with tomato, basil, and oregano, you're doing it wrong. Really wrong. The saddest part is that if you actually had real chili, you would never want that bean soup garbage again. You just don't know what you're missing. |

Quoted: Nah, bro. I like beans in my chili, but bean soup is something else, and it is also friggin' wonderful. It's what you use your hambone for, after Christmas. View Quote This is true. Love some ham and bean soup. Not chili. Split pea is good too, the cousin to bean soup. Heck, I’ll even do lentils… |

Quoted: Chili con carne, from advertisements and cookbooks, 1940 to 1965. All beans. Sure there’s a few old cookbooks with Texas / no-bean recipes, but the vast majority of your parents and grandparents were eating chili with beans, unless they were from some very specific regions of the southwest. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/390x254q90/r/923/ogqQMP.jpg Don’t get me wrong I’m not defending either method, I LOVE me a bowl of Texas red with some crazy spice, but I also cook up a pot of midwestern “bean soup” style every once in a while because it’s what I grew up on. Either way, it never tops rice or spaghetti… fuck that haha! View Quote The majority of Americans allegedly vote for Democrats, too. It doesn't make them right. |

Beans do NOT belong in chili This, though I do like Italian sausage and Pineapple on my pizza from time to time. You’re a Yankee that knows chili, but you lost me on the pizza… |

Remember, chili aficionados, stand your ground and let the world know that chili's glory should not be overshadowed!

Biden puts beans in his chili, so I can see why America is going down the drain, people here are just like Biden.

Quoted: It’s not Mexican, it’s Spanish. Developed from a stew Spanish settlers cooked. If it was Mexican it likely would’ve been all beans, lol. View Quote Mexican food is just a mixture of who has been there, who was trading there, and what ingredients were available. Just like anywhere else in the world. I’ve always known no beans chili as chili colorado. I grew up eating it from a Mexican restaurant. |

Quoted: This is true. Love some ham and bean soup. Not chili. Split pea is good too, the cousin to bean soup. Heck, I’ll even do lentils… View Quote In northeast Ohio in the fall, the trees are spectacular, such that they had (and I think still have) a thing on weekends, called "The Fall Foliage Tour." One of the stops was the Chatham Apple Butter Festival, where you could get apple butter, apple cider and incredible ham and bean soup. I'll never forget as a little kid being amazed by what had to be a 50 gallon pot of bean soup, with a guy stirring it with a giant, two-handed spoon of some type. I remember asking my dad, "Dad! Is he stirring that soup with a canoe paddle?" |

Another "stop liking what I don't (or do) like" thread.
Ford vs chevy, 45acp vs 9mm, and the lists go on and on. |

I’m sure the first guy to invent a peanut butter sandwich would cry sacrilege at those putting jelly in his creation.
That doesn’t mean it’s not an improvement. You Texans may have invented chili, but us yanks perfected it, with beans. |

Sometimes I’ll put 45acp or occasionally 9mm in my chili.
But NEVER BEANS |

Quoted: Beans do not improve or perfect anything. They are cheap filler used in a slumgullion that you yanks have decided should be called chili. The reality is that your so called chili shares more in common with goulash than it does chili. The addition of chili powder to your dish of Eastern European descent does not warrant a new name, and it has little to nothing in common with actual chili. View Quote I’ve been stationed in Texas, had “authentic” chili prepared by Texans. I still prefer beans in my chili. It just isn’t chili without beans. |

Wtf is is so hard to understand. Beans are filler. Filler is used to stretch dishes to feed more people.
Do you make your dish with no filler and feed 40 people or add filler and feed 120. Completely up to you. I know if I was in a chow line id rather have chili with beans than a bowl of air. |
