All of the foods I mentioned are chili.
Chili can contain beef, pork, lamb, venison, chicken, veal, buffalo,turkey, fish, etc. and beans, peanut butter, tomatoes, rice, corn, potato, cheese, chocolate, squash, onion, hot peppers, sweet peppers, pineapple, mustard, lime, orange, oil, beer, wine, corn meal, brown sugar, molasses, salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, cilintro, garlic, pasta, and just about any other thing one choses to put in their chili.
I acknowledge your Texas position regarding beans but chili long ago surpassed Texas. Chili is more a state of mind that cannot be reduced to any one recipe or any one state of mind.
The beautiful large cast iron pot of chili pictured in the post is found on a web site featuring an award winning chili recipe, Linda's Chili Con Carne, which contains beans.
That site has some good advice.
