I've always enjoyed a food called chili in this region that contains both ground meat, usually beef, and beans, usually kidney beans. I came to learn that in some regions beans are anathema in the food called chili. So which is it for you?

This poll was inspired by Fizzy's poll on spaghetti and Luke's Dad's mention of Cincinatti spaghetti with chili on it.

I'm sure my chili is an anethema to REAL chili, because I usually make it with a tiny bit of beef, TSP (Texturized Soy Protein, which when prepared correctly very nicely mimics ground beef) and oodles and oodles of kidney beans, black beans, and veges.

My wife gets upset with me, as she loves her Cincinnati style chili. I don't consider it chili, but rather a meat sauce. It's quite tasty, but it's not chili.

She is addicted to one particular Cincinnati chili called Skyline's. I'm sure Dwain knows the places, as well as anybody else that's spent time in Cincinnati and/or Colombus. That's where she discovered the spaghetti/chili/cheese combination. It's called a Threeway. As we were driving out to Cincinnati for the wedding, my best man riding with us; she excitedly announces the first thing she wants to do when we get there was have a Threeway. You can imagine the look on my best friend's face! :lol:

I make my chili with homemade tomato sauce, kidney beans, ground beef, kernal corn, black olives, onions and seasonings. Put in a bowl and top with chopped onions, shredded cheese and a spoonful of sour cream. Serve with cheese garlic toast or soft breadsticks. Yummy! I make a small batch without beans for the non-bean lovers in my family as well.

If I want to eat beans, I'll make black beans and rice, with some garlic, onion and white vinegar. Otherwise I'd like to eat chili, sans beans.

If any of you get out around 89th's way, check out Hard Times Cafe in Herndon, VA. Texas, Cincinnati and Vegetarian chili, all done up right.
