It's big here in Texas, don't believe real Mexicans eat much chili, well what I consider chili, which is chili meat (course ground meat, anything goes but usually beef), chili powder (ground red pepper), onion, garlic, tomato... By the way, real chili dosent have beans in it, if you put beans in chili then all you have is meat with beans. Chili con carne is different than regular chili and is a traditional Mexican dish. One more thing, chili gets it name from the chili pepper, a type of red pepper. Jan 20 04, 8:07 PM

I was under the impression "con carne" meant "with meat" and chili was the spicy sauce itself. Jan 21 04, 2:45 AM

Most normal people would have to agree with you Griff, but some have taken liberties i.e. http://recipes.chef2chef.net/recipe-archive/49/264168.shtml Jan 21 04, 2:54 AM

In relation to food where did the term 'hot dog' come from? Can anyone remember an advert that went, "It's tasty, tasty, very very tasty, it's very tasty," and what was it advertising? Do chili peppers get "hotter" when they are roasted? Is it possible to get scrapple (a tasty breakfast meat dish) in Britain?
