Recipe for Disaster - All u can eat chili in West Chester Oct 5

richlevy · 09-28-2008, 01:25 PM

October 5 is the West Chester Chili Cook-off. For $10, anyone can sample chili from 60 different teams.

You're all welcome to go, just don't stand too close to one another.

My dad is having a birthday party that day, so I will be unable to gas up.

Because you're British.

And curry doesn't count. A good 5 alarm chili will blow the doors off of any curry.

I'm doing one of those on the same day. Not as big of an event, but fun nonetheless -- cross your fingers, I won 3rd place at this one last year!

I saw a poster for that at the gym today Rich, I think we might go if we can fit it in. Kids under 10 are free btw...

Chili shouldn't have beans!

Juniper · 09-28-2008, 11:32 PM

OMG, don't get me started on what chili shouldn't have and shouldn't be. Well, too late, I'm started.

These people we camp with make the weirdest chili. And WIN with it. One lady puts corn in her chili. It's good, but to me it tastes like vegetable soup. And this one guy? The guy that won the cookoff we're doing this weekend? He puts anything in his chili that strikes his fancy. I don't know what-all he put in his his chili last year - mushrooms, corn, white northern beans, beer, black olives, mustard! I swear. One time, he had some leftover barbecue chicken wings from KFC, from the night before (they have a camper with a fridge) and he took the meat off the bones and put it in his chili. Geez.

I just make it the way I like it. Mine has beans in it, because I like them. It also has cinnamon and brown sugar in it, because I like it that way. And peppers, and tomatoes...lots of red pepper...mmm...I really, really, really love my chili.

Sounds like fun. I'll be going to the Terlingua International Chili Championship again this year. Let me know who wins at West Chester and I'll see if they go to Terlingua, too, and let you know how they place. Good times for all!

I wondered why I had such a craving for chilli last night.
Now I know why (this thread)

I'm hoping my new Peruvian landlady will introduce me to lots of lovely new food.
But I feel the need to cook up a big batch of chilli very soon. In the mean time I have a tin of it ready...
