I know you’re convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.

You are incorrect on this conviction.

    There are various spices that go into chili that have been lost to time & grandfather’s taking recipes to the grave. I’m ok with a little experimenting, but it should taste like Chili, not “Chili”.

    Also, there is a hard line in the sand at elbow noodles. That’s Goulash.

      That’s ChiliMac and we’re going to have to fight now because that’s the highest expression of Chili known to man.

        It’s funny, I love chili and I love mac and cheese, but I find ChiliMac to be somehow worse than the sum of it’s parts.

          Well I didn’t just mix the two. I put chili over macaroni noodles. Then I add cheese until it’s just the right mix. The heat of the two causes the cheese to melt into a sauce nicely and everyone can control the mix. I’ve had stuff where people put canned chili over velveeta mac and cheese and it made me want to vomit so it’s definitely something that has to be done right.

      WHAT?! I was all the way with you, until Goulash. What horrific version of goulash are you eating that contains elbow noodles? Or even noodles at all?

        American, not Hungarian.

        Goulash is a common food in school lunch rooms and is like a tomato and meat sauce on elbow noodles. It’s not what you’re thinking goulash is, but it’s quite good.
