Subj : Cook's Country To : Shawn Highfield From : Lee Lofaso Date : Tue Jul 26 2022 23:41:31 Hello Shawn, DD>> I once had a Texan declaim to me that "Beans don't belong in chilli!" DD>> while spooning chilli beans into his bowl of red. Chilli cook-offs SH> So it's just a culture thing. :) Used hamburger meat. With or without beans, makes best chili ever. DD>> prohibit beans in contest chilli .... but allow them in samples given DD>> out to the public. And ICS has introduced a "homestyle" category that DD>> is pretty much "anything goes" ... including beenz. SH> I would enter the anything goes catagory if I ever did a chili contest. SH> I'll have to keep track of what I use in mine... the only recipe I have SH> is Andrea's copycat of wendy's chilli. You do realize how Wendy's makes their chili. Leftover burgers are cut up, bagged, and frozen. Then added to dry ingredients, giving Wendy's that special flavor everybody loves so much. For Life, Lee -- When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: news://eljaco.se:4119 (2:203/2) .
