Beat me to it.

Try slicing Jalapenos lengthwise, scooping out the veins and fill with creamy peanut butter.

My kids loved them even when they were in grade school.

I remember when that one was making the email rounds years ago. I nearly coughed up my spleen laughing so hard. Hahahahahaha!

First time I've seen it, and I probably laughed as hard as you did. Glad it brought a chuckle to you again :-)

GEORGIA CHAIN GANG CHILI

That recipe sounds delicious, but you'll be hearing from some Texan about those Chinese chilis any minute now! LOL

Hey wimps. Tex-Mex has way too much tomatos (tomatoes) in it. Try some of our medium chili here in New Mexico if you can take it. But this was absolutely funny as all get out.

Years ago we had some techs in from California to check on our computer here in Albuquerque. I asked them what type of restaurant they wanted for lunch. MEXICAN they said over and over. I asked if they knew how hot it could be. They said “of course, we’re from California”. So we walked to a local restaurant here in downtown. I still remember both of them putting the first bite in their mouths. Their eyes got big and the sweat just popped out on their foreheads. I will give them credit. They did eat it and during the next week we went back a couple of times at their request.

Incidentally it was the medium version.

Thanks for the memory.

Chef is on a chain gang....gotta use what’s available.

[Liz]

What-—Texans don’t like Chinese food?

[BenLurkin]

Does competition chili use beans now?

Back in the day it was considered bad form to include beans.

GEORGIA CHAIN GANG CHILI

Chili Pequin is the pepper of choice in the southern half of Texas. Much hotter than Jalapeño, about an order of magnitude on the Scoville scale. Really, up to 40x if grown in alkali soil.

You lost me at the chicken though... Beef, maybe pork and definitely game meat, but not chicken... Sounds as bad as white BBQ sauce... ;^)

I'll admit that I've read variations of this before, but it never gets old.

I remember living in Houston (so, in other words, not real Texas) during the Urban Cowboy craze, when every cook-off and restaurant had jalapeno-eating contests. Jalapenos.

Soon, contestants were eating an obscene number of jalapenos, so the promoters put in the fix. They added one habanero to the mix. One.

Today, people know about Scoville Units and seek after ghost peppers and more. We've come a long way.

[El Laton Caliente]

Beans?

Chili?

Wrong state.

Yep, beans would get you thrown out of the competition... And don't get me started about Kaliforicate vegan chili...

[Mears]

“And don’t get me started about Kaliforicate vegan chili... “

That would be right up there with pineapple pizza IMHO.
