"And so it begins ..."

That's what my wife said, with oh so subtle sarcasm, when she came home and found the pile of fresh red poblano peppers on the kitchen counter. Yes, I'm shifting into chili mode.

Last year: http://www.theweeklyalmanac.com/default.asp?sdetail=5199
and:


This year:
http://www.chilicookoff.com/Event/Event_Display.asp?EventID=2051

This year I'll be doing red chili, green chili (2nd place last year), salsa and "people's choice" chili (2nd place last year).

Congratulations on the second place prizes! Extreme Delectation

I love a good vegetarian chili. Do you do a meatless version?

If nothing else, I'd love to taste the salsa entries!

What does meatless mean? A bowl of sauce?

Heck, no! It should be full of beans and often other nice veggies. Extreme Delectation

I've had some very delicious vegetarian chili in my time.

I'm less a fan of the beans in chili, and more a fan of the meat. I also don't like spicy chili. I'm a chili wuss.

Good luck, extro!

No beans in chili? Am I being wooshed, or have I been eating non-chili all these years?

Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats,cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden.


I don't use tomatoes either. The sauce is made from red chili peppers.

So what's chili with beans? "Chili with Beans"?

To some people chili implies beans. "Chili con carne" translates to something like "chili with meat". "Real chili" = no beans.

So using beans is making more of a stew/chili combination?

Wow.. I never knew there were not supposed to be any beans in chili either. I'd love to try yours! Do you go for spicy chili, or more toned down?

And to me it's not chili if there's no meat in it!

Chili = meat for me. Given my experience, the only reason to add beans to chili is to keep the cost down.

I'm a cheap bastard, but I have my elitist standards.
