This discussion may draw blood: I just won a Chili Cook-Off [View all]
I just have to warn you. Blood will be drawn in this discussion.
I made a Cincinnati-style chili for our chili cook-off here in Mumbai. I was voted the best chili among the Diwali attendees.
I just want to get this out there, to start the fight early:
1. Beans have no place in chili
2. Beans still have no place in chili
3. Chili is not a bean-based dish
Those are the basic thoughts I have here.

2. Congratulations on your victory.
Chili means different things to different people.
My female best friend lives in New Mexico, and it took me a while to figure out what "chili" meant to her.

3. Cincinnati-style chili is an oxymoron
just sayin'
I've never been to Cincinnati, and I love Cincinnati chili.

5. Beans have no place in chili? I think spaghetti has no place in chili.
And congrats on the win!

6. Cincinnati Chili
is just spaghetti sauce with some Cumin and Chili Powder in it and they only liked it because there has never been a decent spaghetti sauce created in Mumbai.
I will agree with you on the beans even though I like them in chili. I tend not to put them in because my wife and kids will outright reject it, they really agree with you.
My brother claims beans were added to chili by the Texas Department of Corrections to make it go farther and to torture the convicts.

13. 5. Including 2 Texans
Had Omaha Steve been one of the seven candidates, he would have finished eighth.
And on and on the thread goes. I didn't see any mention of mushrooms, yet.

Who was it among us who said that chili without beans is simply "hot meat soup?"
And where I come from Cincinnati chili is called hot dog sauce.

When I get a craving for a chili dog at home, I use a can of Ray's Chili with no beans.

Best chili in Mumbai? That's like having the best chow mein in France.

Cincinnati style, no less.
I guess there aren't a lot of Texans in Mumbai.

There's a local company, Vietti. They make good chili sauce. I usually keep a few cans in the cupboard.

Cincinnati Skyline Chili is a product of the hand of God.
No human could come up with something so good.
But it's not really chili, because chili has beans. Kidney beans - not pinto, lima, or black.
I'm sure someone among the vile witches of the DUmp cooking group uses peas.
If you leave out the kidney beans it can still be good, but you have a bowl of spicy meat soup.

Ah yes, there it is.

Ray's is also a very local company, but the original recipe came from Texas in the early 1900's. They are pretty much limited to central Illinois and online sales.

On the innertube, another name for chili is "flamebait".
It's worse than Olive Garden (good) or pit bulls (bad).

They have good salad and breadsticks.
