Chili is just spicy meat stew. poo poo got invented independently all over the place, so there is no one true version. What's next, claiming that your podunk hometown is the one true birthplace of bread and that all other breads are inferior imitations? Just because you did or did not have beans in chili is a child doesn't make your dumbass opinions any more valid.

Beans are fine but you should realize when adding them that they add almost nothing to the taste. Essentially they are just filler if you want to pad out your chili, which is fine as long as you understand what what your doing.

Chili was a working class dish, and beans were cheaper.

Essentially by not adding beans what you're doing is going against the spirit of Chili as it was intended and are gentrifying it. There is no worse crime tbh

Agree. Trust Americans to culturally repossess chili and make it terrible, like every culinary thing they touch. Every ischaemic heart attack is a small victory for good taste, and bean chili.

Dudes and dudettes,

I may have come off as being anti-bean in my earlier posts. That is not true. Personally, I like both beans and sweet corn and tomato chunks in my chili. Unless it is being used as a topping for other dishes, like hot dogs or french fries or similar. Then it must be a pure meat chili.


Apologies

But what ingredients are truly essential to calling a food "chili"?

Surely not beans, as we can see there are many people who are pro- or anti-bean. Not truly meat, as there are vegetarian chilis which can be pretty tasty. Tomato? Onions? Chilis can have many ingredients, but the basic important core elements are, I feel, tomato paste or something, and some kind of meat or meat substitute (such as perhaps beans or simply fake-meat). And assorted seasonings of course.

The most important thing to define a food as chili and not soup is that it is thick, hearty, and brown

it's most certainly meat, beans and a tomato based sauce as the barest minimum.

Look man you really don't want to go down that bean path, do you? The Great Bean Debate tears communities and families apart

And while I prefer real meat in my chili, I can at least accept vegetarian chili as a variant of chili. What else would you call it? Vegan burgers are still burgers, though a pale shadowy imitation of the real deal

here's a chili story. in h1z1, you can find chili. there are only two types: chili with beans and grat's spicy chili. seeing that grat also makes refried beans, it's safe to say both chilis contain beans and one contains 'scorching after effects.'

next issue: how spicy should your chili be?

Unless you loving enjoy beans and the way they taste, also what kind of crazy chili does not make you fart constantly? To get the true chili experience, and for everyone else around to be annoyed, you need beans.

I don't know how there can be any confusion. It's right in the name. Chili peppers are the essential ingredient in Chili.

As for me, I make my chili with black beans and serve it over macaroni with crumbled tortilla chips on top.

It doesn't need to be hugely spicy. I like spicy food, but I often cook it for my family members aswell and they're not as tolerant as me and i try to be a considerate cook.

You really do need proper chili powder, though (as in, ground from dried chilis and not packet stuff) because they really do taste much better and you can tailor it to whatever you like.

Most hot sauce is vinegary garbage. Nothing will gently caress up a chili quicker than dumping a ton of vinegar in. Also the extremely hot sauces that use extract tend to taste horrible and metallic so don't put that in there either.

Just use some hot chilis if you want it hot. Scotch bonnets are my preferred since Habaneros are quite hard to get in the UK.

Yes, surely the defining core ingredient of chili is tomato and not FREAKING CHILI PEPPERS.

It's literally the name of the drat thing.

Also so far as games go, there was an '07 PSP game called chili con carnage. Not sure how much actual chili con carne was in the game, but it was at least in the name.

Is there a list of games featuring chili either as an item or plot device? And their status as to beans? Do Nintendo games lean pro beans and Sony games ignore the beans? How often are beans modded in or out in PC gaming?
