Grace prefers the no-bean chili too, because she just don't like beans. I can't do it. Chili without beans seems just a little sacrilegious to me. it would be like eating beanless "cowboy beans", or a meatless hamburger. To me, it just seems... wrong...
.
Here in northern Kentucky , they put spaghetti noodles in the chili. It's just wrong.
I was just gonna' say...'must be northern Kentucky'.
Probably related to the whole 'Cincinnati Chili' thing. I'll never forget; my wife and I got stuck on a lay-over at Cincinnati airport one time. I saw a sign which said "Chili" and that sounded really good in that moment. I went to order some and the gal asked me if I wanted a "2-way" or a "3-way". I figured the wife probably wasn't too into that, but this gal's co-worker looked pretty hot and we had plenty of time so I thought, what the hell' and told her I wanted a "3-way".
As I started unbuttoning my shirt right there in the airport this gal plonks down a bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce and cheddar cheese on it on the counter I immediately said..."COOL!! This is gonna' be pretty hinky, huh??? Far out!!", as I started to undo my belt. Then some old stick-in-the-mud behind me tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the sign overhead. That's when I saw the "2-way" and "3-way" explanations. Bummer, no Raunch-goob Thunder-bunny for me today! But there was a problem. ...
Not only had I not ordered pasta Bolognese, I'd ordered Chili, but what's up with the Cheddar cheese on pasta anyway??? I was hungry, and I'd embarrassed myself enough already, so I just took my "3-way" whatever it was and went on my way. I figured asking for Parmesan was probably pointless. A moment later I took a bite of my pasta dish and almost spit it out when I immediately discovered they'd accidentally spilled Cinnamon in it.
To make a long story even longer; after a bit I discovered it's "supposed" to be like that. I'd never heard of "Cincinnati Chili" before, but I'd just returned to the US from living for several years in SE Asia so I just figured maybe things had changed in America, and I wasn't "Hep" with all the cool cats anymore. Heh, after eating a few bites I realized this pasta stuff was actually pretty damn good! In fact, it was great! Oh boy, was I gonna' have a story to tell my buddies when I got back to SE Asia, about my "3-way" and gettin' all 'Ultrakinkified' in the love-dungeon of Cincinnati Airport without havin' to do the Poop-Chute Boogy or gettin' into the Cleveland Meatspin jive. What a liberating experience...and the food was pretty good too!
