You can make perfectly good chili with ground beef, for home use but not for a competition

Oh it is easy for me to mess up just about anything I cook.

My late wife did not know how to cook anything but pizza when we got married but she developed into a very good cook. Some of us just aren’t very good at some things.

I think the contest that those people won prohibited ground beef, but I'm not sure. It was supposed to be "genuine" Texas chili.

The best chili comes from chili-powder made from ground campfire flames frozen solid by a Blue Norther.

If the Times' reporters take the same stance on eating as on gay sex, they'd say it's ok and normal to stuff food up our noses.

If you mean chicken, I'm not sure. All the recipes in the book featured (I think) cubed beef, but one or two also had (I think) ground pork.

“Chili comes from Texas (red) or New Mexico (green).”

My New mexican mother makes outstanding chili (con frijoles) with New Mexican red chilis. I think that makes all the difference. Texas chili is also fine by me! I die for her chili verde and eggs.

Doubtless, I would, as well.

Personally, I have no objection to con frijoles.

My favorite are the Chimayo chilis. They have a smoky quality that makes them not only distinctive, but extraordinary.

“I make a mean chili. And I put beans in it. I don’t care what the Texans may say.”

Yeah, bet you do. I’m guessing you put kidney beans in your chili. Or better yet, maybe Lima beans? :)

It’s chili from the chili peppers in it. It doesn’t contain beans.
