Pretending you can have chili without beans is the real problem here. I'm working with the faulty paradigm of those soulless losers who think you can have chili without beans.

you don't need beans for chili. In fact it is better without beans.

Then it's not chili. It's some freakish soup that wants to be chili.

These are the facts, and they are undisputed.

These are not facts. According to the rules by the ICS (International Chili Society), Chili is forbidden to have pasta or BEANS.


I will attached the rules to end this thread and declare to all that CHILI IS FORBIDDEN TO HAVE BEANS. Forbidden.

The Rules and Regulations for cooks at the World’s Championship, State, Regional and District Cookoffs are as follows:

1. Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats,
cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA
which are strictly forbidden.
2. Chili Verde is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked
with green chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which
are strictly forbidden.
3. Salsa must be homemade by the contestant whose name and ICS # appear on the Contestant Application. It may be brought to the site that day or it may be prepared at the Cookoff.

Obviously, any bunch of jokers can call themselves whatever they want, but they can't call some freaksoup without beans chili. Not in my America.

Seems like I'm just going through this thread liking all of CycloneErik's vehement pro-beans posts.

Tally me in the pro-beans column.
 
I got into this conversation a little late and didn't have the will to read every post. But those that I have read defy the poll results. It seems as though the majority of people appreciate chilli with no beans more, though they are less vocal.

Count me in the no beans category. I used to be in the beans category, but Alton Brown's recipe on good eats made me a permanent convert. If you have doubts, check it out and you will appreciate chilli with no beans more.

it's called "one mod really doesn't like beans in their chili"

If a plumber took a sledgehammer to my toilet and told me he fixed it, I would think of your version of fixing.

see, if you would keep the beans out of your chili, your plumber wouldn't need to take such drastic measures to fix your toilet.

And then I wouldn't be eating chili.

If eating chili means the toilet gets hammered, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

except you totally would. Beanless chili is absolutely chili. That's not even a debate. That's how the dish was created. Learn your history.

The question is if chili with beans is still chili, or is it some bastardized frankenstein of a dish akin to putting mustard on your ice cream. (It's the latter)
