Chili, it is many things too many people.
Chili con carne, true texas chili, is simple. Beef, onion, chile peppers and heat. It is a strict discipline.
As chili traveled it changed. Texans mock what it has become as bean and tomato soup.
I dont consider this a bad thing. By the time it crosses the ohio border the dish morphs into a sort of potluck.
The chili i grew up on had chunks of veggies, even corn. It wasnt that spicy and was served with toppings from raw onion to oyster crackers.
Regionally we even have dearborn chili, an essential ingredient for coney dogs and chili cheese fries.
From the chuck wagon to ball park nachos chili remains a true American dish
What does chili mean to you?
