Comment on Is putting black beans in my chili a bad idea?

As everyone has essentially said, ain’t no such thing as bad beans for a chili. And that goes for stuff you might not think of as being good in chill. But I’ve cobbled together chili out of some seriously depleted pantries over the years, and I swear that any legume I’ve run across has worked, to some degree or another. Only question wound be the best prep for a given bean.
No bullshit, ive done it with limas, lentils, and peas at various points in time, and they all worked fine. Different, yes, but still quite nice

garbanzo beans?

You know the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea?
Jokes aside, yes to both, though the jelly bean would be flavor specific like any oddity would.
People do add sweet things to chill, and it works rather well. This includes things that are within your typical jellybean flavor range. Pretty much any jelly would be fine in small amounts (and pepper jelly really is one of those “secret” ingredients that folks love to pretend isn’t obvious). When that’s the case, a standard jellybean is going to be okay in similarly small amounts. I’m dubious that licorice ones would work, but I have been exposed to chili with anise before, and it wasn’t horrible.
I definitely wouldn’t want bubblegum flavored jellybeans in my chili, but the rest? Eh, I’d be down to try them.

heeeeeeyyyyy… was that an andrew dice clay bit? I remember hearing that in the 80s at some point.
I can’t stand sweet/savory combos, I’m weird like that, so yeah, there’s probably some brave soul at out there with a witches brew of jellybelly chilli just stirring away…

it may have been, yeah. I know I first heard it back in the eighties.
