What
exactly are Chili Beans?
Here are some opinions:
Poster’s comments:
1)
Chili beans are any kind of bean
or beans the cook wants to use or can get.
2)
This cook has not made chili with
other grains or such things, like barley, rice, or pasta.
3)
Most beans supposedly have a lot
of protein, which is good for most people and animals.
4)
Beans make this old male kind of
gassy, too. Oh well…..
5)
Chili sauce and chili spices of
some kind does help the enjoyment, at least normally.
6)
One can substitute ground pork for
ground beef (or ground anything) for the meat portion if they so choose. Even
TVP (textured vegetable protein) flavored fake meats can be used.
7)
Adding tomatoes is also a good
idea. Now what type of preparation and choice is up to the cook.
8)
Whether to add any kind of cheese
to the concoction during cooking or later serving is usually a cook’s choice.
9)
History says to this poster that
chili was very popular during long cattle drives. Often these cattle drives in
the new world USA took months.
10) The longer chili cooks (another term often used is “brews”) the better it
seems to get. Why this poster does not know, but still believes so. Said
another way, don’t make cooking it short term and expect pleasing results from
those that eat it. Now even that short term meal will still make them better
off.
11) Using canned chili is a crap shoot to me, like eating it with grilled
cheese sandwiches on a cold season day. I figure at least it has been soaking
in the can for a while, but I just don’t have a reliable opinion, other than it
does tend to make me gassy, too. Oh well, again…..
12) If you make chili as a cook, you can also name it, like call it Chili,
Jakarta style; or American Chili, Cincinnati style. I figure if you do the
cook’s work, than you can sure name it, too.
