Was this post designed to offend all non Texan southerners

Oh! Oh! Lemmy try! Lemmy try!

Ahem.

"Beans do not belong in chili."

Ya'll better watch out now y'hear? We don take kindly to that kind'a hate speech 'round these parts. Equal weight beans and beef, you skimp out either and yain't fixin' chili; you might'ina even be inclined to leave for everyone's sake.

kind'a

I can't believe I've never seen this before. "Kinda" does not mean "kind of." "Kind of" is not the proper way to write "kinda." They aren't interchangeable.

Kind'a is a contraction and specifically means kind of. Brilliant.

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?

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.

I've also heard them say tomatoes shouldn't be added to chilli as well

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Anything is taco meat if you put it in a tortilla.

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!

The only actual fact here.

Idk but if so, mission accomplished I guess
