Oh, for shame, that I should live to see the day, that a man named
Tolbert should ever speak such words! I must assume that you are no
relation to the great Frank X. Tolbert, the world's single greatest
authority on chili con carne, and author of "A Bowl Of Red", the seminal
work on the subject. Ah, well, I can only say it's a good thing heresy
isn't dealt with today as it would have been a while back ;  ) .

But seriously, different doesn't mean better or worse, just different.
Cincinnati chili is good stuff, with or without raw onion...it does tend
to be looked at askance in places like Texas, though, but there are more
things in Heaven and Earth, etc...sorry if I went overboard for a bit
there. It just came as a bit of a shock to hear someone named Tolbert
speaking such words. Took me by surprise, is all. I'm fine now.
