Or if the Mods would let me, this thread would be titled "Bullshit! Chili fucking does have beans!" But Forum Rules being what they and I wouldn't dare pissed off the Mods since they are already pissed enough toward me.

Back to the subject of the Thread. I will make the argument that proper Chili does have beans and was created with beans by the Mexican and Native American women who invented the stew.

The Common Beans are a American plant this is native to The Americas. They have always been grown there by the Native Americans living there. Beans were together with maize and squash using the Three Sisters Method which worked quite well for generations long before the first Europeans set foot in the New World.

Chili peppers were grown in the Texas area by the natives along the maize and beans. And since buffalo were common during the time period they were hunted by the same native peoples. Their meat would have bean used with the beans and chili peppers to create a favorable stew we now know as Chili. Very likely that the stew would been served on top of a flat thin cornbread that was folded or rolled, then eaten in this manner.

Now the mostly Mexican and Native Women who invented Chili, very likely would have the pepper cooked with the meat and beans, since they were of the poor working class.

There you go. Chili started put as poor person dish that it is very likely that higher classes turned their noses away and sneered at due to its lowly origins.

I did not called this Chili Con Frijoles did I? Please reread. Every and each time I mentioned Chili I always said with meat and beans. :rolleyes:
If you do prefer to do so, then you may refer to this wonderful Texan stew as Chili con carne con frijoles.

I beg your pardon Bell peppers are longer a member of the chili species since they mutated the chiliness away. And so therefor they do not belong in any form of Chili.:rolleyes:

Yes, chili has beans. That is the traditional and original way it was served. And even if that was not the original way to serve chili I'd add beans anyway for no other reason than to piss off Texans.

Texans, listen up and I'll try to use short words so as not to confuse you. You morons did not invent chili, the people who did used beans. Get over it.

That. Bell peppers are fine in many things, but they don't belong in chili.

THANK YOU!!! Another person who gets this right. I sure the Hell don't understand how the how the Hell this Bullshit that Real Chili does not contain beans came from.:mad: The Bullshit properly started due to the upper classes in Texas refusing to eat poor working class folks food. Fucking damned snobs.

I always added green peppers to my chili soup. I like a chunky chili.

What I find gross is those in PA who add beans to their hotdog chili. o_O

Green chili peppers are fine as they are actual Chili peppers. Bell peppers are not.

Yes, yes . . . yes we are . . . for multiple things on multiple fronts.

Pro tip, which you had damn well better take to heart: Don't EVER bait us in a post in open effing forum ever again. To get right to the point, mister, YOU don't mention us EVER again in a post of yours. Got that? And, YOU don't reply to this formal, bolded and signed mod warning, either. Got THAT as well?

uh oh, that looks like a Thor-sized banhammer.

also #chilhasbeans
without any need to open a single history book, if you think prehistoric people could aford the luxury of eating a meat dish without adding some carbs to it, you don't really have an argument.
Tex chili =/= Mex chili.
And also, im ok if Texans want to name their own no-beans meat dish Chili, as long as they recognize that it derives from the original, with-beans Mexican recipe.

Chili with beans is my preference.

You can stop here, because what follows is pretty bad...

I consider chili with no beans as meat sauce. And, although I am a meat eater, again, I prefer vegetarian chili instead of meat chili.

Why? Because boiling meat is a fucking abomination. Adding all this shit doesn't matter.. you are still boiling meat. I don't care. The fact that ANYONE would boil meat ENRAGES me. Oh, you don't care about meat being boiled? Well, you are part of the problem.

What's next with you monsters... eating a steak well done?!?!
