Chili is arguably the most arguable subject in culinary history.

.....have you forgotten Gumbo so quickly?g Then again, on this little

remember several days of bruschetta debate a while back. As for stew,
does your world's best recipe entail moose meat?

Tom

that should have read 'include moose meat'. Sorry.

Works either way. Simply a matter of where one stands and which way
the moose was headed.

As to "Gumbo".....well, that's just chili.....without the chilis.

And the bruschetta debate, in the final analysis, revolved around the
question of whether or not one is an inescapably prissy doughboy from
a region that would have been better left as long-grass prairie, thus
eliminating the possibility that it would one day be guilty of housing
terrified blowhards.

Most of us, I am happy to report (and on good authority) are not.

giles
who feels it should not be necessary to point out that this leaves
open the possibility, nay, even the certainty, that some of
us.....indeed.....are.
