The problem isn't the beans.
It's that people who think adding tasteless legumes is a necessary thing probably screw up everything else too.
It just makes it not chiliRagoo said:does eating chili without beans make you more of a man?BenderRodriguez said:ought1ag said:

Which is a new thing, because chili was a poor man's food. And poor folks couldn't afford to make chili with only meat so they had to add beans to make it stretch and feed the family.BenderRodriguez said:Ragoo said:

Nope.
It just means you've had actual chili.

So keep enjoying your hipster chili with no beans.

But the oldest recipes from places like Marfa, San Antonio etc all are meat, chili and other spices...no beans...so the historical Texas chili is not a dish with beans

I'm content with a few pintos in there as their neutral flavor and creamy texture don't really change or take away from the profile of Chili. Black and Kidney beans, on the other hand, transform Chili into something else entirely which I only know as Soup.

Think I'll mix up a batch with Nutria, ground turkey, hominy, and beans.
Gotten to where I actually prefer the taste and texture of turkey in chili.

First, if this turns into a sharing of Chili recipes the absurdity of the argument will be worth while.
