[–] SolarNialamide@lemm.ee 9 points 3 years ago (3 children) Where in the world do you not put beans in chili? That's literally the point of chili. Is this an American thing I'm too European to understand? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] mascarasnake@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago in Texas permalink fedilink source parent [–] hglman@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago* Chili involves 2 things: Chilis and beef. Much in the idea of molé sauce, you can get a lot of complexity from chili powder alone. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rambi@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) I've also heard them say tomatoes shouldn't be added to chilli as well permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lolgcat@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) literally just taco meat and peppers ig permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Anything is taco meat if you put it in a tortilla. permalink fedilink source parent [–] x3n0s@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* As a Texan, this is true. Traditional chili is based on the Mexican "chili con carne," meaning "chilies with meat." Chili normally is a stew with 1 inch cubes of a tougher meat like chuck steak that's been stewed down until tender in a liquid (water or beef stock, sometimes even beer or coffee added) and a puree of reconstituted dried chiles (not chili powder) and other spices. Nothing else goes into traditional Texan chili. Beans are sometimes served on the side though. Adding beans is perceived as a cheap filter and skimping out on the meat. This is the dish that started all of these other non-mexican versions of chili and you're missing out of you've never had it! permalink fedilink source parent
