Huh, I didn’t know chili had such an incredibly strict definition. Does this strict definition mean that adding anything extra no longer makes it chili? If so is chocolate, cocoa, or cinnamon also included in this super strict definition? If not then isn’t adding these things make it some kind of “stew” not chili?

I’d love to see this definition. Specifically where it says “unless it has beans, then it becomes something else”

Today you learned! It’s always a wonderful feeling to learn new things!

Chocolate, cocoa, and cinnamon are flavorings and spices. Those are allowed in Chile. Chili is meat, tomato, onion, and spices. And yes, you can use chili as a base for a nice veggie stew with the addition of beans or q lot of other veggies!

Cheers!

  Oooh sorry that’s incorrect. No I think you’ve confused “Chili” and “Chili con carne”. Chili doesn’t have meat, and if you add it then you have “Chill con carne” (con carne = with meat)
  
  We have to be ridiculously gatekeepy and precise in our words, of course.
