NoJ Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 You people are nuts. A.D. Livingston, who is a prolific author, gadfly and chili enthusist, hasnt any issue with beans in chili. I believe I'll follow his lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Screw that Society. It's like the people who carp about putting ketchup on hot dogs. If you can put mustard on it, you can put ketchup on it. They go together like Shirley Feeney and the Big Ragu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hixter Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Beans are essentially tasteless filler; we have plenty of beef in Texas, so they're unnecessary. The same goes for spaghetti, you crazy Cincinnatians. Now when do we start debating the inclusion of tomatoes? (Nay!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 there is no need for beans in chili. what is wrong with you people? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Christ if you think putting tomato wedges and a fucking pickle on a hot dog is normal don't complain about ketchup. Yeah, its all part of the deal. Ketchup is an invasive condiment when it comes to the proper makings of a Chicago dog and should be kept cordoned far far away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Tomatoes aren't necessary for good chili con carne -- the official state food of Texas.Yet every winning recipe on the ICS site you provided (at least for a bowl of red) has tomato sauce in the recipe.
