I'm all for Lipid being a judge. We don't see Lipid enough anymore.

Well, pending the answer to this question....

Do you prefer your chili to taste like chili, or like a melted Klondike bar?

Yours clearly taste like none of the above.

Glad you trust my opinion regarding food then.

I agree that we all need more lipid in our lives.

Chili does not need a friggin hershey bar or kisses in it. That being said I have heard of people putting unsweetened cocoa powder in it. I would not but to each there own.

why is putting a little choc in chili such a big deal? It is not like he said put a whole gallon of choc syrup in your recipe

Frank seems like a man that knows good food. I bet it is pretty good.

Frank does not know jack. He should put some mid 70's Ex Lax chocolate in and shit away.

I put a little tequila in the batch I made yesterday, scooter. I'm sure you would have done 5 or 6 shots of it.

I've never eaten chili and thought "Pizza isn't really Italian."

You make chili like you're a contestant on Chopped. You should try to incorporate some gooseberry preserves in the next batch.

Guinness and chocolate in my chili and it is tremendous.

chili was meant to be an all in type of meal. Make it anyway you want as long as it tastes good...and doesn't contain bodily fluids.

I could see that addition really helping out as well. I've used Pacifico in the past, but never a real dark beer. I will have to give this a shot next time.

Doug makes a pretty good chili, though his is a bit spicier than I prefer. The great thing about chili is that you can make it very plain with regards to heat, and then add red pepper or hot sauce upon serving for those who prefer that sort of taste.

Couldn't you apply that same theory with the Hershey kisses? Instead of ruining the whole batch of chili you could give a person a Hershey Kiss for their bowl?

I think the point of the "chocolate" is that you're altering the overall chemical makeup and trying to add a sweetness to your chili. Not something I would do, but whatever.

I make my chili with beer. If I left the beer out and made it available to add, it would not cook up right. Same basic principal applies here.

Boyd is correct. See, its not like you ruining an entire message board as Kirkwood, where as now you only ruin one thread as Archie.

There is no better option than beer though.

The only value added by a Hershey Kiss is provided by the minimal amount of cocoa that is contained within it. The rest of the stuff you don't even really want to add to your chili.

At least get something with a higher cocoa content if that is what you want. It's the same reason that we don't make chili with ketchup.

You know what? This doesn't even matter because all chili is the same!

You clearly have never cooked much if you think this is even close to the same thing

I like it!

Rather than a dollop of sour cream on top...a Hershey Kiss.


Blech

Frank and BigFan should grab a case of Snickers and make Chili for the whole board!

Despite bigfan's incredulous beliefs on breakfast, I would bet that his chili is pretty damn good. I am perfectly fine with being on his and Dr Ken's side regarding just a bit of chocolate in a pot of chili.
