Remember the 11 commandment, the one Moses dropped on his foot: "thou shalt not fight over chilli but beer is alright"

There are many "Confederate" flags. I'd be surprised if they don't have one somewhere even if it's on Johnny's mic stand or a headband. The flag does NOT,in and of itself, indicate racism. Unfortunately a helluva lotta people both take and use it that way.The one usually seen is the Battle Flag,C.S.A Flag #2-the star and bars. What's behind them is the Alabama State flag.

They were all based on the old Spanish maritime flag.... I agree that they are totally misconstrued. Barely see them in CA..

It's always been my understanding that chili in its purist form is bean-less.

The Great Chili Debate: Beans or No Beans?

OK. Read the article. Still prefer mine the way Mom made it. WITH beans.Usually very quick acting beans.

Originally form Cincinatti I think..

Yup! A guy I worked with in FTL turned me on to the place. He said it was"Cincinatti Skyline Chili". I think it said that on the sign or menu. If I'm down there when they're open,my van takes me there. That's my excuse,I'm stickin' to it.

Did everyone's forum skin just change or was it just mine?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Blimey, sounds like a minefield. I get the picture though based on the regional thing. I can imagine the Texan version being heavily meat based. It sounds like it might be fun to travel around sampling the different versions, you could write a book on it I'm sure

Just go to a chili cookoff. Very popular along with clam chowder and rib cookoffs

Mine did as well.

Thank God for that, I thought it was my imagination!

Hummm, didn't Entwistle play sans pic?

I think he did both in the beginning... I've seen old videos with him using a pick, but mostly he used his fingers after he developed his "technique".

I find it difficult to believe that there is a beer weaker than Coors, aside from Coors Light I mean. Weakest "beer" I have ever tried. Not the worst tasting but not off by much.

Foster's...

 

[TBird1958]

Foster's...

Foster's is better than Coors............. Not sayin' much there!

I've never tried Fosters, I used to like Castlemaine xxxx years ago but I haven't seen it in years

The upshot of the whole thing is: Life is too short to drink crappy beer

Don't know whether to like that or not.....

It's getting harder to find good beer these days, most of it is a shadow of their former selves (sounds familiar!) just some mass brewed swill that has too much gas. Even Carlsberg which is probably still one of my favourites but nothing at all like it used to be
