Food Question of the Day: How Do You Like Your Chili?

[coraa]

Not that I'm going to do anything with this data. I'm just making chili for dinner (part of Plan: Use Meat As Seasoning, I'm making Mark Bittman's Chili Non Carne, with my own modifications because I suck at cooking straight out of a book, except with a garnish of a very small amount of grilled steak, and possibly bacon fat to sweat the vegetables... I'm hoping the addition of bacon fat, cilantro and flavorful seasonings will help to overcome jmpava's aversion to bean-based dishes).

Assume, for the purpose of answering this question, that the chili in question is whatever kind you like best -- whether that's Strict Texas Con Carne, Not So Strict Con Carne With Tomatoes And Stuff, Hippie Chili With Lots Of Vegetables, Death To The Enemies Of The Revolution Chili With Two Kinds Of Meat, Red Wine, Cocoa Powder And Shoestring Beets, The Stuff Out Of A Can, or any of a squillion other variants. (I won't judge. My favorite chilis are all things that would make purists sneer.) Of course, if the answers are different for different kinds of chili, feel free to say so in the comments.

If you don't like any kind of chili, well, you can safely skip this poll. :)
