A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in a small town in West Texas.He
sits at the counter and notices an older cowboy with his arms folded
staring blankly at a bowl of chili. After fifteen minutes of just
sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks, "if you
ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in
his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his
place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to
the bottom and notices a dead rat in the chili.

The sight was shocking and he immediately pukes up the chili into the
bowl.

The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got too!"

Critter, that was AWESOME! LOL!

But wasn't the rodent intended to be sort of like a tea bag in a cup of tea? That's where the flavour of Texas chili comes from, isn't it? By the way, when Mrs. B and I are down there for the Regatta in August, we'd appreciate some suggestions on where we might try some real Texas chili. I love chili, and hear some of you Texans claim to do a good job on it. I don't just mean hot...any schmuck can make it hot by throwing in a lot of pepper sauce...but good chili!

And good chili means no f'in beans.

I can relate to that, but then...the beans do help you enjoy a good bowl of chili again...and again...and again... One of the best I ever had was in a small cafe in Texas. Big bowl of chili, with just a few beans in it, served with crackers, and a big bowl of red onions on the side to "season to personal taste". Lovely stuff that made my eyeballs sweat. Think I went through about a six pack of brew putting out the fire.

If it makes you sweat than it is a good bowl of chili.
