primitives discuss mushrooms in chili

[BEG]

I'm making ChiliMac for dinner.  I'm using Wolf Brand Chili.  It's a Texas treasure.

Should I serve it "open face" in a large grilled portobello cap?

Don't forget a strip of bacon!

[BattleHymn]

But that's why you love quirky little me. 

You and my spousal unit must share some of the same circuitry.  She is a member of the 'bacon only belongs in a few things' club.  She also tries to sneak nasty, vile mushrooms into dinner.  I always pick through my food, and leave them on a nice little pile on my plate.

My husband does the same with peas and tomatoes. I love both.

Crumbles of bacon!

Neither beans nor mushrooms belong in chili. Oh, and bacon is the food of the gods!

I'm in the same group with your wife and BEG.

Bacon should not touch any other food except on a BLT sandwich. Nothing else is acceptable.

Mushrooms are always good.

Any bean other than a green bean is bad. Peas can be tolerated only in certain circumstances... fresh or frozen only, barely cooked, lots of butter, maybe in a casserole provided they stay very green.

I only like bacon, not bacon in things.

I like bacon in the frying pan.

Too much bacon grease there.  Take it out first.

But what about bacon in a potato soup?  I think it's a must.  Otherwise, you're going to having Greenbriar's soup, which consists of potatoes, water, and peas.

I like asparagus tips in potato soup too.

By the way, has anybody seen Pamela on Skins's island lately?

I've looked, and I haven't.

Maybe she departed this mortal coil after all?

peas in potato soup? 


mine has potatoes (duh    , butter, onions, celery, parsley, bit of garlic, chicken broth, half and half, lots of cheese.

Thanks for the tip.

It's not potato soup without bacon bits, and it's not potato soup if it has peas.

Without bacon bits and with peas, you would have a gruel that might have been served as punishment at a 19th century orphanage in Wales.

Any time you add peas to something else, you're making punishment food.

It's the reason that not once in my life have I eaten "chicken pot pie".

Worse even than chili without kidney beans.

I can't high five you enough for that right there.

"Punishment food."   

Chicken pot pie would be just fine if the peas were left out. 

I got one of those Ramen-in-a-cup deals.  It ended up having peas in it, and ruined the whole thing. 

I'm sure I told you about the salad-from-hell I encountered at a small dinner party.  Pulverized raw carrot, and pulverized peas, layered in a loaf pan in 4 layers.  Unmolded and sliced, and served on a plate. I could not get it down, and since it was only a party of four, it was noticed.  I very nearly hurled.

I made chili this weekend.

I did not add mushrooms.

OMG.  Why would somebody do that????

That salad sounds disgusting.

I like peas.  I like them in my chicken pot pie, too.  It's not chicken pot pie without them.

I have seen the pea/carrot layered thing in pictures in cooking magazines.

Always thought it looked disgusting... you just confirmed it.  

[GOBUCKS]

I like peas okay, I guess. I eat them, unenthusiastically.

But just gratuitously adding them to something else is a crime against nature.

They're not chocolate chips, or bacon bits, or shredded cheddar - those things can always be added.

[Undies]

I am a pea fan.  Peas are some yummy stuff.  Pea salad is mandatory on every buffet line-up.
