Yummy Chili against the cold

[theoriginalblurker]

In preparation for the ice storm, we made this recipe today with the following changes:

deleted ancho chiles
added black beans
added chili powder
added chili garlic Cholula
added cinnamon
added masa

It smells delicious! I'll let you know how it turns out...

Ah, yes, but my opinions on chili were formed when I was a happy, native-Texan meat eater.

And I'm not amused at funny foreign ways. The ways of Texas are not foreign to me. I'm amused at those foreign ways being held up as the ONLY way things can be done. It's the snobbery that amuses me, not the ways of eating chili.

I think using the word "snobbery" in this instance may create an adverse emotional reaction that you may not be intending to produce.

Just my opinion.

1: shrug. You're in the 1-in-4 Texans with that preference.

2: I was speaking about us (Texans) and the foreign ways being "beanin' up the chili."

By defining it as 'snobbery', you're saying 'let's have an argument wherein we start by assuming I'm right and you're a jackass. I'll start: What's wrong with you?'

Do you wonder why people get hostile back?

It should only be hostile if you assume snobbery is a bad thing. The snobbery amuses me, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. :)

So sorry if I offended. I was trying to have some fun, and apparently it didn't work. I'll drop the subject.
