You can see it pretty clearly on maps like the NYT analysis of the last census.

In a hypothetical scenario where the US divides into separate sovereign states, does Texas stay unified? So often I see it as its own complete unit on fantasy postapocalyptic maps.

I've never once encountered chili without beans but then again, chili in the UK doesn't have chilli pepper in it and is basically a bland mess.

According to some circles Texas chili is a beanless affair with big honking chunks of beef. It’s good, but I hate to get militant about how folks approach something that everyone should be able to cook

Yeah a good bean-less chili can be absolute perfection, but if we still call what Torchy's or Taco Ranch sells as tacos then why be sticklers over beans in chili.

The Terlingua real estate scammer crowd started all that poo poo. In reality, it's like red beans and rice. You can read all the fancy recipes, but this poo poo was cooked by poor people who didn't have a ton of time or a fridge. I have a painstaking multi-dump recipe I've worked on for years (no beans), but I'm pretty sure cookie fed the trail boss whatever the gently caress would tenderize in the pot after a few hours.

enraged_camel posted:texas would split based on "beans in chili? y/n" i honestly don't get how people are all-in on one or the other. it really depends on what you're using it for if you're using the chili as a condiment, beans are a weird and bad thing to add, you don't want beans on your chili dog or chili fries however, if you're eating chili on its own, you gotta have the beans and beanless chili is instead the weird and bad option

Re: Abbottquote:On July 14, 1984, at age 26, Abbott was paralyzed below waist-level when an oak tree fell on him while he was jogging following a storm.[7][8] He had two steel rods implanted in his spine, underwent extensive rehabilitation at TIRR Memorial Hermann in Houston, and has used a wheelchair ever since.[9][10] He sued the homeowner and a tree service company, resulting in an insurance settlement that provides him with lump sum payments every three years until 2022 along with monthly payments for life; both are adjusted "to keep up with the rising cost of living".[11] As of August 2013, the monthly payment amount was US$14,000.

Chili has no beans. If you add beans to what would otherwise be a chili, you've made a chili inspired stew. But whatever, eat/cook what you want. Just know that chili ain't got beans.

The only wrong way to make chili is to not have chilies in it. Now stfu about beans/no-beans. Go hog wild, is a poor people food, whatever you have on hand goes in the pot. I’m sure I made this exact same post in 2019.
