White beans, chicken, yellow tomatoes from our garden (canned), spices consistent with chili (although out of respect for the purists from Texas who contend that chili can only contain meat, chilies and liquid, I will not call it chili).
For not-chili, it sure is pretty.
What some people call chili, I call Sloppy Joe.

We are that vocal about it. Almost as bad as vegans... I'll eat it if it has beans or don't. That looks good.
ReplyDelete:-) Looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteConsidering all those beans and chilies shouldn't you be equipped with suitable personal toxic gas mitigation equipment to prevent global warming? ---ken
ReplyDeleteI soaked them over-night and pitched the water. Then I boiled them in two changes of water and discarded the water. Flatus is often the result of complex sugars that humans cannot digest but bacteria can. So soaking and discarding water reduces the vitamins but also greatly reduces the complex-sugars that cause farting.
DeleteThe other "trick" is to count out EXACTLY 239 beans. But whatever you do, do not exceed, not even by one.
Because that would make it two-farty.
Sure looks like Settled Science to me !! ---ken
DeleteSounds good, but I agree it's not chili. Then again, I am a native Texan.
ReplyDeleteA Native Texan as well. I would not dream of telling all the mothers and grandmothers in my family (and my wife's) not to put beans in chili. Or questioning it. They all put beans in chili. They didn't compete at Terlinga. I think no beans in chili is a relatively new thing and a sign of good times. Beans were used as extenders in hard times.
ReplyDeleteAppears to be good grazing to me as well. Two slices of bread nearby or a square of cornbread to be crumbled up and added would add to that full feeling when consumed.
ReplyDeleteMy mother and her thirteen brothers and sisters where as Texan as you can get and they all used beans in chili, as did all the Mexicans. I think all that “no beans” crap comes from carpet baggers and rich people. Eod1sg Ret
