You can't think of it as real chili, because it's not. A friend of mine once told me to think of it as a sauce (i.e. it's own thing) and that it is.

I have acquired the taste - especially for Skyline Dip. YUM!

Skyline has their fanatic following, but I can't understand why.
Again - it's not the same dish at all. Cincinnati chili is Greek in origin. Once you stop the comparison (because it is not and will never be Texas style chili) it's all good.

Dude! I was *just* going to say.. Greek cooking uses cinnamon with meat to great success.
I had no idea the Cincy chili had roots.

Anyway, that's why it sounds appealing to me. Especially with pasta. mmmmmm

White Castle nearly made me hurl as well........ the smell.... ewwwwww the smell..... and the look of those slimy little mini burgers ACK
Ian and sunflowergirl have it right - Skyline "Chili" really should be called Skyline Vile Poison, but a description as truthful as that would hurt sales.

Try it a few more times - preferably as the dip (with cream cheese and onions on tortilla chips) - you'll come around ...

Something about fermentation puts me off. Can't stand the taste of cheese, wine, beer.
