eating accidentally-vegan chili I made out of lentils because I didn't have any ground beef :bean:
i was confused for roughly a year when i knew this person on a paleo diet claiming to be eating chili
they were consuming a strange meat soup
Y'all motherfuckers need to learn what chili con carne is, and then realize american chili is the wonder bread version of that.
I’m reading the Wikipedia page and it just sounds like regular chili to me
Edited by the CIA to promote American exceptionalism.
So, just meat and peppers? Lol. American style chili is definitely better then
Wonder bread is sugary spongy crap, widely regarded as an Americanized version of traditional bread.
Thanks. SO low quality and artificially sweetened, got it. Likely a staple for lower income households?
Yeah, I guess chili is more of a low class dish now that I think about it. Not that American chili is trash like wonderbread (although it can be), it's just a remade dish with ingredients common in the states.
In the 50s they were processing everything they could just for the wow factor of it.
They bleached and preserved bread into a sweet, white, chewy block that never spoiled, called "white bread." The problem was that people were picking up vitamin deficiencies from eating nothing but processed food.
Rich people started eating whole wheat and seed bread.
Poor people got "wonder bread", which was white bread with the vitamins added back in
My crazy Texas friend says it's wrong to put beans in chili, are they crazy?
Idk how you're supposed to eat this like hot soup of nothing but ground beef and tomato paste without beans and veggies to give it some kind of depth. Texans are incorrect about chili
Beanless chili should use stew meat or something with actual texture.
texas' official dish is chili con carne, which traditionally uses larger chunks of something like a chuck roast or other stewing cuts, and doesn't include tomatoes. it's usually a 'sauce' made of toasted and pureed peppers and stock.
that said, i like beans in my chili and i do like the tomatoe-y, vegetable filled version. they're not wrong though, it's just a different (and older, really) recipe.
They're not wrong, real authentic chili is just stewed peppers and meat, no tomatoes, no beans. It's also a totally different dish than regular American chili.
