Well, what's yer point? (Privately, I might agree.) There are those who
maintain that chili is not chili unless it has a respectable layer of
grease on top. H. Allen Smith, one of the original Terlingua chili
cookoff contestants (beans _and_ tomatoes, IIRC... yecchh!) used to
repeatedly speak ill of "Texas chili" (this is a stylistic designation
having nothing to do with geography) and its alleged tendency toward
greasiness. Smith was a native of Kansas, if memory serves, and was a
resident of Mount Kisco, New York, at the time of his involvement in the
Chili Wars. Everybody knows Mount Kisco is one of the great bastions of
fine chili... there... I said it without BWOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Chili and mead? Chili and _mead_??? Good heavens! I don' know about
that... Maybe, with that combination, tortillas with honey (which is, I
gather, a Texas classic) might make a good bridge?
So, Gunthar, what about these corn rockets?
