It, along with moose or elk are awesome.

So I'm not the only one, that's a relief

Not keen on the cincinatti style, but as a general rule a little bit of cocoa is a pretty good addition to any chili. Also a broken up spicy italian sausage.

I can not bear the thread typo any longer.

It's "chili'.

DH insists he knows how to make it; his version sounds like Bob's. That doesn't sound like any chili the cowboys *I* know would eat.
At least you like cornbread, Bob. I knew there's a reason I love you.

I had a kangaroo Indian curry last night which was fabulous. Lovely texture and flavour to the meat and would probably work well in a chilli/chili too. A bit like lamb but not as strong.

(at least, that's what they *said* the meat was...)

Took me forever to try cornbread with the chili, but I LOVE it now.

I use minced beef and put in Pinto beans but not kidney beans because i just don't like them.


A friend of mine had been living in Peru and made me some sort of Mexican style chili with chocolate in the recipe....that was the tastiest thing I ever ate!!!

I remember five years ago being fresh off the boat.

I rolled in from work one day, my texan wife had made chili for dinner. I asked where the rice was? She looked at me like I had two heads.

That's the way we ate it in the UK. Even now, I make a little rice with it, just for myself

It is definitely an acquired taste. A native once told me "Stop thinking of it as chili. Think of it as its own thing, and you'll probably like it." He was right.

Like mole sauce?

I have no idea, she never left me the recipe. Possibly

i always have my chilli with rice.

i make it with gorund beef, onions, tomatoes and kidney beans. A friend gave me a new spice mixture to try with cinamon into the spice mix which includes cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and orgegno (and a few other bits i cant remember) and thats a familiy fave now. but always with rice and with grated cheese on the top.

I aldo have a recipe for white chicken chilli thats pretty good too.

I loved chilli in the UK, and always served with rice. Haven't found decent chilli over here yet - it's always too watery. It's usually described as a soup round here.

It was ok, but nothing to write home about. I think the flavor of the venison was a bit lost amongst the spices she used.
