I know you're convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.

You are incorrect on this conviction.

You put the Peeps in the chili, they make the chili taste... bad.

Chili without beans is just spicy spaghetti sauce and I will die on that hill.

Beans belong in chili.

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 16 points 2 days ago

Beans are the foundation of chili. You can remove all the meat from a chili and still call it chili. You cannot remove all the beans and still call it chili.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Yes: Pinto beans are called chili beans for a goddamn reason. But also kidney beans in the mix (and black beans at least) are delicious too.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I can't find good kidney beans (all the ones I find, their skins are too tough compared to the other beans) so I use navy beans instead. Also pinto beans. I can't remember the third but it's a three bean chili dammit who ever heard of a two bean chili

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Beanless chili only works as a hot dog condiment. I don’t see the point otherwise

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Well yeah, take the skyline pill and embrace it

You take that gold star filth and shove it. This is a skyline household /hj

If you use cinnamon and cloves in chili, the cinnamon and cloves should be almost undetectable. The spice is meant to provide a warm undertone.

Realistically, if you want to properly experience it, forget adding cinnamon and add good quality chorizo. It has cinnamon, but brings a lot more to the table.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Wait is that why I love chorizo I fuckin love cinnamon

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn't have any. I was all "FINE!, I'll make my own" and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn't care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I've been trying to replicate that for a while.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

So any decent garam masala will work?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

You know, I've never tried it with chili, but I'll bet it would be wonderful. I'm thinking the cardamom's going to get lost really quickly, I would probably add it once at about the middle of the cooking, and then lightly dust it again at serving for the aroma.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

For sure. A pinch or pinch and a half will do ya. 1/2 tsp and you've gone too far.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 37 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

These rules come from the same people who put a slice of cheese on apple pie. "It adds a savory quality to all the sweetness." Fuck off, it adds the taste of cheese to apple pie. People also like mint and chocolate, maybe you should eat some M&Ms coated in Vicks vaporub

Chili is steaming dog food with too many spices and onions for dogs to eat. If you think your chili tastes better with beans or even cinnamon, then get down with your bad self. Anyone who tells you otherwise is welcome to not eat your chili.

"Syrup doesn't belong on waffles/french toast"
"Cookies shouldn't have raisins"
"You shouldn't put butter on your tortillas"
Fuck all y'all, I'mma eat my food how it tastes good and you can maybe chime in once you got a show on the food network

^I’m a Texan who will eat your chili with or without beans and I approve this message^

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Whoa now. Whoever said Syrup doesn't belong on waffles should be kept away from sharp objects.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

No, they should be very, very close to a lot of sharp objects, repeatedly.

Whatever dude. My chili, my choice.

Dude the election was clear. your chili my choice.

There is nothing that cinnamon can't improve though

[-] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Actually cinnamon doesn't improve cinnamon. Anyone that's attempted to cinnamon challenge can attest to this

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

You've got me there

Beans belong in chilli and you can wash the cast iron in the dishwasher

However, there is nothing that cinnamon cannot make better.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Would you put cinnamon on fettuccine alfredo?

[-] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago

As a vegan it might be strange and interesting to try to replicate the "authentic" Texas Red recipes. No beans, no tomato. The basic recipe would be an almost purely pepper-based stock, probably use both Beyond Ground and diced Beyond Steak. If I recall, the most original known chili recipe called for a substantial amount of added pig fat. I'm not big on high-fat foods in the first place, so to me it's dubious whether to even include an alternative. But if I did, the most comparable choice would be coconut oil, but I avoid coconut/palm oil to the best of my ability, so probably a bit of added avocado oil would work best, though it's worth noting that Beyond products are already high in one or the other of these (avocado Beyond is best). Spices don't need to change.

But then, is that really superior chili? Sorry but midwestern bean and tomato/pepper extravaganza chili is way better, and will continue to be my main. But with some added crumbled soy curls? Gonna have to try that soon.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I’m a vegetarian these days, but the best chili is a five way. Gotta find a decent meatless skyline recipe

There are various spices that go into chili that have been lost to time & grandfather's taking recipes to the grave. I'm ok with a little experimenting, but it should taste like Chili, not "Chili".

Also, there is a hard line in the sand at elbow noodles. That's Goulash.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

That's ChiliMac and we're going to have to fight now because that's the highest expression of Chili known to man.
