chili con carne: regular or extra gassy?

[Sarojaede]

I make a vegetarian chili that has red and white kidney beans, black beans, and corn in it. I think the corn adds nice variety to it.

 

[silverwhisper]

i've had corn in it as well. it actually makes perfect sense i think, considering that corn bread is a very common accompaniment to chili.

[considers adding grilled corn next time]

I, occassionally, like a good lentil burger, but black bean burgers are far better, IMHO. But lentils in lasagna is just a sin against something. My Italian ancestors would roll over in their graves.

MY DH once made a lentil lasagne. I loathe lentils and it was vile.

As a rule I expect chilli to have red kidney beans in it.

I don't think chili has ever been made in our home.

You don't like it?

You should have? You know about the Dutch versus the Belgians 'thing'?

 

[silverwhisper]

sorta, yeah.

i've never understood how a nation the size of belgium can actually have three commonly used languages, actually.

Next question: how hot do you like your chili? Do you want it to:

a) Rival the blandness of your elementary school cafeteria

b) Contain a hint of spiciness so you can tell yourself that it wasn't made by the Campbell's soup company

c) Sear your tongue and the inside of your mouth

d) Take the plating off your spoon

 

[silverwhisper]

personally, i'm a fan of weapons-grade fissionable chili.

Yet another reason why I like you, despite your complete ignorance of decent pizza.

See, the difference is very simple: new york pizza is edible but Chicago pizza is a culinary achievement, a masterpiece for mastication, a hall-of-fame fare for eipicures, and simply better than any other pizza on the planet.

i see a new poll is needed. :>

Next question: how hot do you like your chili?

I chose c. Mostly because I'm too cheap to keep buying spoons.
