[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is a Texan to tell us that putting beans and ground meat in chili is wrong? [/quote]

I'm a Texan and we use ground meat, we just often [i]also[/i] use chuck.  (The person who said they used brisket is top 3 craziest in this thread - chili is making something delicious out of not amazing meat.  There are far better uses for brisket.)  Beans vs no beans is a blown out of proportion joke rivalry amongst chili makers - most agree that beans in a chili is just a personal preference and a good chili with beans is still 5 steps ahead of, for instance, using oatmeal as a thickener or putting sugar in cornbread.

White chili is not chili FYI.  It's chicken stew.[/quote]
I posted a Bruce Aidells recipe upthread that calls for brisket. It is good with chuck but fabulous with brisket. There is nothing crazy about using brisket so long as you have the funds and are not trying to pass it off as an authentic TX recipe. Also? Brisket was vastly cheaper back in the day. [/quote]
