Chili

Tubas and beer go together. Can chili beans con carne be added to that combination? What are some recipes for mega-hot, gas-producing, mind-blowing chili? Do the recipes have names? Ex: Fire house special; break wind beans; etc.

I have never known chili without beans. Although I have reduced the beans in my chili on my wife's request. My chili does not meet the other requirement of the request for recipes, so I am not giving it. We don't go in for fire-breathing. Burns the mouth going in, burns the stomach while it's there, burns the intestines passing through, and burns when it leaves. No thanks. I like to eat it. And enjoy it.

But to each his ( or her ) own.

Texans tend to eat Chili-no-beans.
Unlike Kansans, their beef isn't particularly flavorful down there, so it requires a higher concentration of it to be able to taste it...thus no room for beans in Chili.

You are no longer welcome in Texas where the weather is currently chili today and hot tamale.

Thanks! That article confirms that Texas chili may be hazardous to children, family pets, and air quality in the home. I wonder what some of those chili recipes would do to tuba playing in rehearsals.

Some years ago a friend challenged me to a hottest chili cookoff. This was in the context of a cub scout pinewood derby, and each den in the pack made a pot of chili, and others made or brought chili and other side dishes as desired, in order to have lunch and snacks during the day. I labeled my batch with a flaming skull and crossbones. Yes, his was hot. I "cheated." (I hate to say that in the context of a scouting event, but there were no restrictions, no judging of flavor as with the den-made batches, just bragging rights between him and me.) I made a regular Williams packet recipe, then put in about a half bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce. Dave's Insanity Sauce is not a pepper sauce. It is pure capsaicin oil with just enough tomato puree added in order to be able to add, according to directions, just one one drop per pot full of chili. Yes, I won.

Ironically, what I saw a lot of people do was to treat my batch like a hot sauce, fill up their bowls from the other batches, then get a half-teaspoon of my hot chili as flavoring for theirs!
