Frank ...OK, let's straighten this thing out. <br /><br />Frank X. Tolbert and Wick Fowler, the patron saints of all things [Texas] chili, were both legendary Texas newspapermen. The competition that they founded specifically forbids beans in chili. <br /><br />On the other hand, William Fredrick Gebhardt's, and Lyman T. Davis' (creator of Wolf Brand) - Texans predating newsmen Tolbert and Fowler by decades - respective brands both offered variations of their recipes with beans.<br /><br />I've called Texas home since 1967. And I've been taken to task for the heresy of putting beans in my chili. So, if'n I'm making chili for a contest - well, no beans. But if I'm making it for my own enjoyment, then, in the words of another Texan, Carroll Shelby: "It's what you want when you make it. You can put in anything you feel like at the time...make it one way one time, another time, a little different. Make it up to suit your mood."<br /><br />Accordingly, the batch I made yesterday featured diced chicken breasts, my own 12 (give or take) secret herbs and spices, fresh puréed tomatoes, chili beans, AND <i>frijoles negros</i>, slow cooked for about 4 hours, with no added water. <br /><br />With last week's 70 degree weather having been replaced with dang near freezing temperatures this week (OK, probably no sympathy from the Rev, Aaron, or ML), it was a damn fine respite.<br /><br />Heck, I might even mix it with some macaroni to stretch it a couple more days...<br />an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-69151438740507662852015-02-03T19:51:44.341-06:002015-02-03T19:51:44.341-06:00"Tear gas with beef"- My kind of chilli!..."Tear gas with beef"- My kind of chilli!Hat Trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789313677285831256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-4791838770354859362015-02-03T19:16:40.593-06:002015-02-03T19:16:40.593-06:00Heh!

That is stew. Chili does not have BEANS!! (Someone would think you were from somewhere back east).<br /><br />REAL chili has meat, tomatoes, peppers, more peppers, various spices.....BUT NO BEANS!! Plus, prepared properly, none of the ingredients are recognizable.<br /><br />I invite you to the next International Chili Cook-Off, November 5th, in Terlingua, Texas. Once you sample REAL chili, you will be at the gates of heaven.<br /><br />Oh yeah, enjoy your stew.JPDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117684285970280362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-12220772563604616012015-02-03T11:53:05.679-06:002015-02-03T11:53:05.679-06:00It sure looks good!It sure looks good!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.com
