There is a local restaurant which serves half a dozen varieties of chili, including Cincinnati style, which itself comes in at least five different versions, three-way, four-way, five-way, and etc. But, I think everyone remembers one chili as their favorite, to which all others are compared throughout life. My best chili was made by a Greek cook who ran a woebegone greasy spoon outside a naval base in the ‘60s. It was vaguely like Wendy’s chili, but infinitely better.

I know that story is fake because vegetarian chili would never be allowed in a TX Chili cook-off.

I use 5-7 types of chilis in mine, only 2 are for heat, the rest are for flavor, I use cubed chuck, ground chuck and real fresh made pork chorizo.

NO BEANS!!


What are the peppers you using for flavor (not heat)?

I am ordering my 2021 garden seeds & want to add some new :)

Texas chili was brought over from the old country by German immigrants as Goulash Soup. A broth of red meat, and vegetables seasoned with paprika and other spices!

It’s really hard to find anything decent already made. In my opinion, the best pre-made is found in the freezer section and it’s called Dolores Chili Brick. I like to use it for chili dogs. It’s make with beef hearts, so has a very beefy flavor.

In general, I just make my own, but I try to keep a couple of bricks in my freezer.

Bernal Diaz (THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO) often wondered if they had accidentally eaten people when they were fed by the Aztecs.

I believe that was an old gag from Laugh In.

Much like “It might be rice wine to you, but it is Saki-to-me.”

Some chili fanatics even hold the tomatoes......a Texas chili parlor put up a sign, "We dont hold with tomatoes."
