I’ll eat chili with or without beans but draw the line at eating it without some Tabasco. 

For the record:

Cholula Sauce is my Go-To.

It's kind of like Frank's Red Hot, or that other popular one with the chicken on the bottle...  Just adds that bit of kick and extra flavour...

Sacrilege!! That's what peppers and spices are for!!!

I've put Tabasco and/or Cholula on many, many food stuffs, but it never occurred to me to put it in chili.

Heh.  I put Tabasco on many things.  Heck, I put it on salad.

Team peppers and spices, high five! 

 

My mom and brother love their Cholula sauce. I never got into the drippy vinegar pepper sauces. If I want vinegar, I'll use vinegar. If I want pepper, I'll use pepper.

I think you'll find the venn diagram of veterans and people who eat a lot of Tabasco overlaps quite a bit.

I'll eat my food the way someone else thinks it should be made just as soon as they pay for the ingredients and make it for me.

War averted.

Bonus: I can now add diplomat to my resume.

This.

In other news,  after wanting a set of Sej wands (game in CJ Cherryh's Serpents Reach novel) for years it finally occurred to me that 3D printers exist now and Shapeways will print things like dice. It's called 'Star & Rocket Sphericon d4' if anyone else happens to need some.

I'm an outlier there.. Never got a taste for it, even with it on the table at every meal for 9+ years and in every mre *ever*

Umm...this news article says they measured waves up to 83 feet in the hurricane today.  That’s not a storm, that’s an apocalypse.

Tabasco and Red Hot are peppers and spices....

 

Just a different form.

 

The Auld Grump - there used to be a local hot sauce that was made by a company that was owned and operated by teenage girls. I think it folded when they headed off for college.

I have to make the distinction when I make chili - as I make both major kinds.

My preferred chili is literally just meat, spices, and happiness.

I add beans and other weird things to my northern chili.

 

I love all kinds of food and I want to try them all, but goodness gracious am I glad to be born into the world of Tex-Mex right off the bat. 

I /really/ miss good Tex-Mex. I haven't found anywhere around here that does it right. There are decent places but nothing great. 

 

As for beans in chili it's a no go for me. I just don't like beans.

 

On a different note, my doggo:

He likes to watch you go up those stairs and look like he's going to come after you. I'm not sure he could get back down if he did go up them. He also thinks he's a lap dog.

We at least have a couple places that offer queso but it's still not quite the same.
