There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

There is no such thing as veggie chili.

Turkey chili is on thin ice.

Beans are required unless you want to end up with Texas meat sauce.

So you've never had a good chili that doesn't have beans in it?

To me, the beans just kind of exist in chili in roughly the same way it would if it was on the plate next to it.

I've had meat sauces that were decent.

The Chili Appreciation Society International specified in 1999 that, among other things, cooks are forbidden to include beans in the preparation of chili for official competition

What point are you trying to make here? Is it a discussion of the concept of what chili is? Are you arguing there is nothing that defines what is in chili that would be considered vital?

In my opinion, chili should contain these items:
Meat(or whatever substitute vegetarians use)
Peppers
Onions
Garlic
Chili Powder
Cumin
A liquid element
Tomatoes/Tomato Paste or both
A Hershey Kiss

You can put other stuff in it too just like most other recipes but I would find it hard to consider it to be a chili without those items in there or very close substitutes.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

So you believe the defining characteristic of chili is beans?

Beans are disgusting, I always get no beans in Chilli. I like Lindy's.

Congratulations to your daughter

Maybe this is why you're so full of shit. You lack fiber.

I believe it to be a defining characteristic and a requirement in any chili I make. I wouldn't enjoy something someone is passing off as chili as much if they omitted beans.

I understand there are recipes that use beans just like there are reciepes that use carrots or celery. I don't see why it would be required to be chili.

I think Doug also said that there were 3 MLB games the other night instead of 2. You might want to correct him on that as well.

I'm not saying its the best but I like a lot of the canned chili out there, sometimes even more than homemade.

A good take by GD. Homemade chili overrated.

Also if you fuck someone like they are a millionaire they might go try to be one.

Hormel Chili with Beans ingredients:
Water, Beef and Pork, Beans, Concentrated Crushed Tomatoes, Contains 2% or less of Modified Cornstarch, Textured Soy Flour, Corn Flour, Salt, Chili Powder (Chili Peppers, Flavoring), Sugar, Flavoring, Green Chiles (Contains Citric Acid), Onions, Spices, Jalapeno Peppers, Vinegar.

No garlic or cumin listed? The good folks at Hormel don't know what chili is! I'm shocked!

Chili could be as simple as chili peppers and meat, but often has tomatoes and beans...

Other Seasonings??? garlic, onions, and cumin MAY be included? What the actual fuck is going on here?

Beans are literally filler in any chili.

Also if you fuck someone like they are a millionaire they might go try to be one.

That should be a given to anyone on the fast track.

spices could mean anything. salt, pepper, dirt, rat hair, boogers, cardamon, safron, turmeric, cocoa, farts...

so minus, the chili peppers...yes, whatever added to chili beyond that could all be considered filler.

Now I feel bad about liking beans in my chili!
