The Chili Chat

Love chilis from Hatch rosted over coals with steaks. Picked up that habit when I lived in Tucson.

 

I've eaten chili with peanut butter in it, and some with mushrooms. Never again.

 

That sounds delicious Andrew!

 

It is amazing! A bowl full of green chili and a stack of grandma's homemade flour tortillas!

 

Four hardly seems enough.

 

very true!

 

I love chili.
End it with an “I” or an “e” I really don’t care.
We know what we’re discussing here.
It is part of the weekly menu in our household.
With regards to beans in chili con carne, our family is split: 3 to 2 in favor of adding beans. My son and I prefer an all-meat chili - but we’re not opposed militantly to the occasional legume.

If I’m making a large pot of it with fresh beef (not ground), fresh peppers & spices, garlic y cebollas, no tomatoes nor beans nor spaghetti (!!!) make it anywhere near the pot!

 

Once, I went fly fishing from a canoe. Turns out that's a bad idea too.

Friday evening, I made Swedish style meatballs from elk. Very tasty. Elk chili is also excellent, and is much like mule deer or even moose.

Compromise?

Chile or Chilé = seed bearing fruit of various capsicum bushes.

Chili = a meat dish made with said fruits. (Short for chile con carne)

 

I'm used to beans but would love to try true Texas style.

A guy I used to work with swore to putting a spoonful or two of peanut butter in chili. I tried it. Once. I do believe he pranked me good.

 

I love chili with or without beans, just as long as it's good! Around here you see a lot of chili with rice instead of beans. Don't laugh until you try it, it's good!

 

Could it be, because @Tiredricefarmer is a "re-Tired Rice Farmer"??

 

Lol, couldn't help it, I thought it was funny!

 

I've just never cared for rice, and cannot imagine it in chili. But others say the same about beans, which I can't imagine chili without.

 

I don't understand the rice thing either. It just seems like it would be a filler, and not add any flavor.

 

I've been reading about the popularity of green chili in Colorado. I'm sure I'll have some while out there. I look forward to reporting my findings if I can find access to a computer while on the trip(should be able to somewhere).

 

"Go On And Send @wchnu down..to Tucson

(Paraphrased from the Mel Tillis hit).

 

I generally wouldn't put it in my chili, but I do put my chili on my rice, like gravy on potatoes. I gave up eating potatoes 90% and eat rice nearly everyday. That said I don't buy cheap rice ... we eat brown, jasmine, and purple rice; we buy it by the 25# bag at our local Asian market. The more varieties I try, the more I like.
