>> No.5429038

>>5429022

One of the stupidest arguments regarding beans in chili is that the cans of chili that have beans are marked "chili with beans" and therefore chili doesn't have beans in it since they have to clarify when it does have beans.

But by that argument, the official name of chili is chili con carne, or chili with meat. If you take their argument to the logical conclusion, then chili has no meat in it.

for Texas Red, I use Tolbert's recipe.

3 pounds lean beef
1/8 pound rendered beef kidney suet (if you want to go for it)
1 teaspoon each oregano, cumin powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and Tabasco
3 tablespoons chile powder (optional)
4 hot chile peppers
At least two chopped cloves of garlic
2 teaspoons masa harina, cornmeal, or flour (optional)*

* The masa adds a subtle, tamale-like taste, but it also thickens the chili.
Preparation:

Sear beef in a large soup pot or cast-iron Dutch oven. You may need a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. When the meat is all gray, add suet and chile peppers and about two inches of liquid (you can use water, I use beer). Simmer for 30 minutes.

Add spices and garlic, bring just to boil; lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes. NOTE: Add more liquid only to keep the mix from burning. Skim off as much grease as you can, and add masa harina. Simmer for another 30 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if necessary.

>>5429530
Sure, but it's equally irritating when someone tries to say the complete opposite, that you can and should put whatever into anything, call it what you like, and everyone else can shut up because it's not their dish.

I mean, sure you COULD do that, but what's the fucking point? The only reason to have names for dishes is so that people can immediately understand what you mean without having to explain the whole cooking process, if you're going to use a name that's totally unrelated to what you've cooked then why even bother?

It seems it's only chili that makes people say this. No other threads have anyone claiming that all food tastes equally good, there are no better or worse ways to prepare dishes, that you can apply any name to any food and that's absolutely fine, and so on.

I don't care at all whether people put beans in their chili, but it's not a difficult concept that the more people that try to do something, the more that will do it badly.

Also to >>5429530, I don't think there needs to be as much shitposting and anger around this. If someone suggests a different way to prepare chili, then maybe they might be trying to help? I don't think anyone really goes around here with deliberately bad recipes trying to trick people into making shitty food. Some people might get a bit overzealous about their own preferences, but that doesn't mean their advice can't be good. My chili has improved tenfold, for example, since I took the advice of some Americans here and sought out actual dried chilies to use, and replaced the mince with cubed beef. You might try it and disagree, that's fine, I don't care in the slightest. However clinging desperately onto the recipe you have at the moment, and shunning any suggestions of what you could do to improve it, seems pretty dumb to me.

From http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Chili/ChiliHistory.htm:

>"The chili stand and chili queens are peculiarities, or unique institutions, of the Alamo City. They started away back there when the Spanish army camped on the plaza. They were started to feed the soldiers. Every class of people in every station of life patronized them in the old days. Some were attracted by the novelty of it, some by the cheapness. A big plate of chili and beans, with a tortilla on the side, cost a dime. A Mexican bootblack and a silk-hatted tourist would line up and eat side by side, [each] unconscious or oblivious of the other."

If only you had the attention span to read further back and realise we were talking about meats in bolognese sauce, an Italian dish that has nothing to do with Texas and chili.

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1 1/2 teaspoons ground dried sweet chile pods
3 cups water

That's not correct.

Correct. The original dish is chili con carne, because it was made with chilies and meat. Adding beans to it makes it a new dish. Also, you should cook the beans separately and combine in the bowl.

>> No.5430044

I'd rather eat this instead of chili:

Ingredients:
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
4 serrano peppers, finely chopped (w/seeds)
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
2 cups "Clamato" juice
2 27 oz cans of Bush's pinto beans
6 strips of bacon
1 Tbs oil (or lard)

Instructions
Cook the chopped onion in hot oil (lard) until it begins to soften.
Add the bacon.
When the bacon starts to brown, add the beans and stir in the remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 45 minutes.

I've fixed this many times. The funny thing is how much the heat varies from one time to the next.

Nothing funny about that at all. Peppers vary in taste, so when you put the same amount in without taste-testing them first you should expect the heat level to vary. Taste the peppers and adjust the amount you use accordingly. If they're very hot then use fewer. If they're milder then add more.

That can't be right, noodles are things like soba, udon and somen. Macaroni is a pasta like spaghetti and conchiglioni. I don't see how being confused as to why someone would call macaroni noodles makes me autistic though. Maybe they think that because noodles tend to be long strips like spaghetti and spaghetti is a pasta like macaroni so they are calling pastas noodles?

Even wikipedia doesn't have macaroni or any other pastas on the noodle list.

Macaroni is a variety of dry pasta made with durum wheat. Macaroni noodles usually do not contain eggs and are normally cut in short, hollow shapes; however, the term refers not to the shape of the pasta, but to the kind of dough from which the noodle is made.[citation needed] It may be straight or curved in which case it is frequently called elbow macaroni.

How can they say they're pasta and then refer to them as noodles? That makes no sense. They're either noodles or they're pasta you can't go calling them both, they're different categories. I guess being written by several people means the terminology gets all fucky.

The word stew is more commonly used in America, but it's more the fact that you wanted to immediately rename the dish once some little thing had changed in it. I've noticed Britbongs seem to be a bit more anal with their food naming, everything has to be precisely the way they understand it or else it needs a new name. Americans don't seem to be this way as much, they're more willing to change ingredients around, and have a better understanding of cuts of meat, that ground beef is just tough beef (e.g. chuck) that has been ground, not some separate magical entity, like Brits seem to think of mince as being.

For the mercifully unacquainted, "Cincinnati chili," the worst regional foodstuff in America or anywhere else, is a horrifying diarrhea sludge (most commonly encountered in the guise of the "Skyline" brand) that Ohioans slop across plain spaghetti noodles and hot dogs as a way to make the rest of us feel grateful that our own shit-eating is (mostly) figurative. The only thing "chili" about it is the shiver that goes down your spine when you watch Ohio sports fans shoveling it into their maws on television and are forced to reckon with the cold reality that, for as desperately as you might cling to faltering notions of community and universality, ultimately your fellow human beings are as foreign and unknowable to you as the surface of Pluto, and you are alone and always have been and will die alone, a world unto yourself unmarked and unmapped and totally, hopelessly isolated.

But wait! This abominable garbage-gravy isn't just sensorily and spiritually disgusting—it's culturally grotesque, too! What began as an ethnic curio born of immigrant make-do—a Greek-owned chili parlor that took its "Skyline" name from its view of the city of Cincinnati—is now a hulking private-equity-owned corporate monolith that gins up interest in its unmistakably abhorrent product by engineering phony groups of "chili fanatics" to camp out in advance of the opening of new chains, in locations whose residents would otherwise see this shit-broth for what it is and take up torches and truncheons to drive it back into the wilderness.

Whatever virtue this bad-tasting Z-grade atrocity once contained derived from its exemplification of a set of certain cherished American fables—immigrant ingenuity, the cultural melting pot, old things combining into new things—and has now been totally swamped and consumed by different and infinitely uglier American realities: the commodification of culture; the transmutation of authentic artifacts of human life into hollow corporate brand divisions; the willingness of Americans to slop any horrible goddamn thing into their fucking mouths if it claims to contain some byproduct of a cow and comes buried beneath a pyramid of shredded, waxy, safety-cone-orange "cheese."

Cincinnati chili is the worst, saddest, most depressing goddamn thing in the world. If it came out of the end of your digestive system, you would turn the color of chalk and call an ambulance, but at least it'd make some sense. The people of Ohio see nothing wrong with inserting it into their mouths, which perhaps tells you everything you need to know about the Buckeye State. Don't eat it. Don't let your loved ones eat it.
