Now, now Brandu. Don't get all "fired" up. Exceptions prove the rules, remember.
I'm sure you chili is wonderful and in fact at Ansteorran Chili night quite
a few of the carpetbaggers, er...our Northern friends, come out and prove
their worth by ordering up the nuclear stuff.

>From some of the postst I've seen I think my view of the majority of Yankee
"chili" is well grounded. (Putting crackers in chili! Serving it over 
spaghetti! EEEEEWWWWW!!!)

But don't feel bad if you don't fit the entire Yankee mode. After all there
are some here in Texas that can't ride horses or don't drink Lone Star
beer fercryinoutloud!

I applaud the fact that you can make a proper chili and not succumb to your
Northern thick blood. And seeing that salsa is now more popular than ketsup
it looks like our evil influence is spreading to even the frozen climes.

On a serious note. I have read that true "chili" as eaten by the cowboys and
Mexican caballaros was basically meat (any kind), peppers, salt, a couple of
spices if available, and maybe tequila or beer simmered for hours over a low 
fire. No beans, tomatoes, or anything else.

And I will admit that I have put chili and cheese over spaghetti noodles.

(My lady doesn't like chili or cornbread. I just may have to dump her.)
