What Have You Cooked Recently?

Its the type of Chili you would put on a Chili dog. It should have a blend of meats, not beans. So for me, it would be ground beef, shredded pork (AKA Carnitas) and a spicy ground sausage. Then some Onions and Peppers to round it out. If you add beans, it would still be a Chili, but not Chili Con Carne.

It is chili.

Look, apparently all the chili con carne I've ever eaten weren't real chili, so some help would be appreciated. I mean, if it has kidney beans, it's not chili or...?

Quit invalidating it by adding beans. It instantly turns into non-chili when you throw beans in it for some insane reason.

Chili originated in Texas and it has been bastardized with the addition of various extra ingredients elsewhere. Texas has more or less stayed true to the recipe (although there's still a debate on whether or not it should include tomato).

Been cooking a lot of vegan food recently for a friend who's usually vegan (He'll gladly eat eggs from my chickens because he knows they're kept ethically, that kind of vegan) Long story short I made a Jackfruit Tagine the other day which was AMAZING. I marinaded the jackfruit pieces in Tumeric, Cumin, Coriander, Smoked Paprika and oil for 12 hours. Baked it in the oven for twenty minutes (this binds the fibres and makes the chunks satisfyingly chewy and meaty) then cooked as a normal Tagine. It was magnificent. I also cooked a bean chilli which for me is something I cook that happens to be vegan rather than a specifically vegan dish. I love a good bean chilli.

Last night I made little hand pies stuffed with a mix of tomatoes, mozzarella, and pepperoni. The dough was super simple, it was just flour, water and butter. It could have used some seasonings and maybe a brush of olive oil on top before baking. The cookbook I used is very sports based and suggested these as fuel to bring with you on a long distance run or ride, but I think they'd be excellent to make on a sunday and then bring to work through the rest of the week. They'd be super good stuffed with berries, that might be what I try next.

Savory and Spicy meat stew originated in Texas? No one ever considered throwing a bunch of shit in a pot and cooking it for a long time before the existence of the big-ego State? Neat fact.
 
Found some soba noodles at an Asian market, bought em and boiled them for three minutes yesterday. Added some chopped up onion and bulb onion along with some sliced mushrooms. It was okay but it leaves me craving for the real shit and not some instant stuff I bought.

Edit: Forgot to mention that besides some meh noodles that were slightly better than the other instant stuff, I found packs of pouched Japanese curry. Makes for a good quick meal when it covers some white rice though I may as well buy the real stuff that requires actual cooking and not just boiling the pouch in hot water if I want a very good taste.

By the way, Texas did NOT stay True and Honest to the recipe; if they did then it'd actually be cooked with human flesh or dog since it started life as a Mexica nobility dish. Also no beef because fuck you the Spanish added that.

Also foods evolve. The original hamburger for example was just basically like Salisbury steak. You ate that shit with onions and sauce. Then some schmuck put it on buns and added options. Chili with beans has a pedigree over 100 years and counting, and only Texans get salty about it. Purists are dumb.

It isn't actually chili. It's pretty good if you just appreciate it as a regional pasta sauce. Skyline four way, all the way.

Yeah, this. You don't ever eat Cincinnati chili as a dish on its own. It's a complement to pasta or hot dogs. The Skyline cheese coney (hot dog on a bun, chili, shredded cheddar cheese on top) is a great dog if you don't mind making a mess when you eat.

I personally need to add a lot of hot sauce to Skyline, but I like the savory flavor it starts with (most recipes attempting to duplicate the formula will include some amount of baking chocolate and cinnamon).
