MMMMM--------------------------OPTIONS-------------------------------
           Hot cooked spaghetti
           Cheddar cheese; shredded
           Onion; chopped (additional)
           Kidney beans; rinsed,
           - drained
           Oyster crackers
 
  In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the beef and
  onion until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is
  tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. While cooking, break the
  meat into the smallest crumbles possible; this is not
  chunky chilli. When cooked through, drain some of the fat
  off the meat.
  
  To the pot with the meat and onions, add the water,
  tomato sauce and paste, chilli powder, chocolate, garlic,
  cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and
  spices. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat
  and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 to 2 hours. The
  consistency should be more soupy than a thick stew.
  
  Discard the bay leaf and serve, if desired, on top of
  cooked spaghetti with any variation of cheese,
  additional chopped onion, kidney beans and oyster
  crackers.
  
  First, never eat Cincinnati chilli with a spoon. This is
  a fork food, at least that's what the locals will tell
  you. As mentioned, one of the most popular ways to eat
  this chilli is on top of spaghetti with various toppings.
  It's also super popular on hot dogs, which are called
  coneys - maybe an homage to New York's Coney Island, but
  more likely the Coney Island amusement park built in
  Cincinnati in the late 1800s. Whether it's served on
  spaghetti or as a Cincinnati chilli dog, get it with a
  mountain of cheese and onions.
  
  There is a method to the madness, however. To order
  Cincinnati chilli like a true Cincinnatian, you'll want
  to use the proper lingo. There are a few different
  *ways* to order your ideal bowl with confidence:
  
  2 way: chilli + spaghetti
  3 way: chilli + spaghetti + cheese
  4 way: chilli + spaghetti + cheese + onions or beans
  5 way: chilli + spaghetti + cheese + onions + beans
  
  A proper coney can be a simple bun, hot dog and chilli,
  or one topped with chilli, mustard, onion and cheese.
