I like beans just fine and dont actually care all that much tbh. Good chili is good chili imo. I grew up in an area where people take that stuff way more seriously than is reasonable tho and just felt like leaning in on that old familiar silly lol

As soon as someone says like don’t like beans in their chili I think that chili is going to be out of my budget. Most foods heavily rely on other things to help fill you up. Chili you can’t exactly put random carbs into to keep the cost down. Onions and peppers cook down for great flavors but minimal filling. Sure you could add more cheese and sour cream which keto diets would probably love but that isn’t getting your cost / filler down.

My stomach is likely just to big, I need to cut portions and let it shrink

  Very much agreed on all of that. Some people take their chili very seriously tho and I happened to spend a lot of time in an area where that was the case. That time spent led to me growing a respect for the art form that is chili, and many of the people that’re really, really into it insist endlessly that beans are simply a suboptimal ingredient if your goal is anything near cooking up a masterpiece.
  
  So, while I agree with you on one level, after tasting some of their finer brews, I also see a lot of merit to their fiscally unbound arguments.

    Oh yeah, I’d love it to be sans beans… it’s just not going to be cost worthy for my budget. Good chili makes sense to not have beans, but whispers privilege, haha

    I hear you and, again, mostly agree, but if you’re hunting your own game that’s gonna cut ingredient costs significantly. Not saying I do, cause I don’t (I can’t even make a truly good chili to save my life tbh), but some of those country folks knew how to eat real well on low income. Can’t say many kind things about the overall culture of the US backwoods, but the diy/work with what you have aspect of it has always stood out as admirable to me.
