im so confused, is it wrong that they're touching. made up about 8 quarts this weekend

image

made some overnight candied pickled peppers too

image

even tried the buttered sgetti thing

image

heres the real question, what is the ideal pepper for a texan chili, really no clue and the types  of fresh peppers are limited up here to pretty much jalepenoes, habs, thai, and poblanonos.   this batch was dried ancho passilla. newmexico, guajillo and thai with fresh jalepenos, powdered cayenne and powdered chilli, but what is the main chili pepper used in texas

    i just took 50/50 cider vinegar and water, got it boiling and dumped in alot of sugar, added the peppers and hard simmer for about 20 minutes, let it cool, added a bit more vinegar to taste and into the fridge overnight. sweet but hot

    Wait, is that ketchup touching the chili!!! What is the world coming to?

    I'm pretty fortunate that there are a few Mexican markets in the area now, and there are lots of different chiles. But prior to that, I ordered from Pendery's, out of Fort Worth. Really good chilis, and a selection of blends used by Terlingua winners, where, btw, beans are never in the bowl.

    Not to mention serving it on a plate.  :(

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Even with a limited supply of peppers - it all looks great to me, except for the plate thing, chilli always in a bowl - with or without beans....

    thats good to know
    :)) i was tempted to make a traditional newengland bean sandwich with the chili
    :D still, whats the standout chili that goes in a bowl of red, there must be some preference.  i probably ate 2 quarts right from the pot skipping the bowl, plate bread all together, is that wrong too. most of those chilis seem so light in flavor i was eating them like dried spicey raisin jerky while scooping the chili from the pot
    :))

    Eating directly from the pot is expected; that's how you keep pace with the flavors!

    As for which chili to use... that's mainly up to what your looking for "heat" wise but any of the south western type peppers should work.

    Don't know what is used in Texas, but I find that the little tiny piquin peppers add great zing. There's a couple called piquin, but what I'm talking about is around the size of a small bean. I understand they have good flavor, but I've never been able to get enough into my mouth w/o blisters.

    For myself, I always start with my home-grown cayennes...............................I like the heat as well as the flavor.

    I love beans and I love Chili makes sense that they go together.
