The true question regarding chili is whether or not it should contain beans.

Anyone who doesn't put cheese on top of chili is a godless communist. This is an objective fact.

American cheese is good for one thing only: grilled cheese sandwiches.

I prefer colby for that.

Colby (or colby-jack) is probably the most common real non-processed cheese in the US I think.

So, the other day I was buying bread from a man in Brussels,
(he was six-foot-four, and full of muscles).
I asked him if he spoke my language, and he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.

Then he started proclaiming that he came from a land down under, and I just walked away...

Classic.

However, I do not find that a dislike for vegemite is uncommon... it is an acquired taste and you either like it or not.

The strangest thing I have found is an Englishwoman I work with dislikes Chiccos/Chico Babies...

How can you dislike chocolate flavoured jubes?

Marmite and butter is all I have on toast, yum. When I was younger I'd have the Marmite an inch thick and it would burn the top of mouth, but now I prefer just a little so I get the flavour without the burn.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I used to dip bread sticks into neat Marmite, those were the days, the days when I had no roof to my mouth.

I've never heard of chili without beans. I should dig this beanless chili up. I used to love chili and Mexican food until one day I somehow became allergic to beans. :(

Fixed.

How can you expect to try to run the planet when you cannot even make a decent pint. Sure you get some half decent one-offs, but that is just the brewing equivalent of the monkey chance.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

You live in a town of disgraceful heretics!

In olden times, beans were added to chili literally as filler because they're cheaper than meat. That's how it started. It's like watering down the beer-- if you do it to a real beer aficionado they'll slit your throat.

If you want to try out chili with no beans, try buying some Wolf Brand, which comes in no beans variety in its various flavors. Wolf is actually quite good for chili out of a can, very chunky and a great sauce.

Thankfully, it hasn't escaped far from the St. Louis area to pollute other sections of the country, but it's everywhere here. I think it has the consistency and flavor of slightly melted plastic. It's hard to find a pizza that isn't covered in it around here unfortunately.

I know Imos and Cecil Whittakers use provel cheese, but what about Little Caesars, Dominos, or Pizza Hut? Or frozen pizza?

As for the topic, I've never had Vegemite, but the description doens't sounds too appealing...A sandwich spread that tastes "salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty – similar to beef bouillon" sounds like icky.

And if you're drinkin' well, you know that you're my friend and I say "I think I'll have myself a beer"

I believe the chains usually use mozzarella, though I honestly wouldn't know. The frozen pizza I get definitely has mozzarella on it, though I'm sure you could get some Dogtown pizzas or something with provel if you look hard enough.

Haha, poorly worded question - I meant why don't you go to those chains if your don't like provel. I'm not sure on what cheese they use at Cicero's, but they're pizza is supposed to be really good (I always get a sandwich when I'm there).

Not quite.

Real mozzerella (Mozzarella di Bufala Campana being the original, but not the sole source) is quite different from the commercial kind used in pizzerias.


For one, as the name indicates, it uses water buffalo to produce the cheese, and as a result it has a different tastes and is actually slightly more nutritious.

Well, yeah, I figured it was a given that they're not ACTUALLY using real mozzarella. Pseudo-mozz then.

And the real chain pizza is always too greasy for me. Last time I ate Papa John's, I felt sick about a day. I eat unheathily, but not often enough to actually become accustomed to the grease content in fast food.

It's probably more culinarily accurate to say they're using low-moisture cow's milk derived mozzarella.

Unless they're using processed cheese product made to look like mozzarella, in which case, why the HELL are you eating there?

I sometimes have beans in my chili, the nice thing about chili is it's a really flexible recipe you can add last nights left overs and it still tastes great.
