Food texture matters. For example, carrots and celery are tasty in a salad or as a snack, but both are nasty when cooked. The texture doesn't work and they just taste different.

And I don't care what my fellow Texans say. I guess I'm not a true Texan, and I'm fine with that. Chili needs beans. Without beans, it is basically bolognese sauce and frankly not that delicious. The beans in my opinion are a large part of what makes chili tasty. But then again, I'm not a huge beef lover.

Iowan here, but why the fuck would you make chili without beans?? I've never heard of that before. Gross. I'm with you; beans are the essence of chili.

(And don't be putting noodles in there, either. That makes it goulash, not chili.)

That's Texas for you. Big on the beef around here. I believe the explanation is that chili is short for chili con carne, meaning chili with beef. But beans just make it better.

It's a Texas thing, where "chili" is more like a beef stew, with a base of chilies.

tbf, a properly done chili in that style can be really good and you can always have beans on the side

the problem is more that many Texas chili people are assholes about it

No, chili needs beans and noodles! (And sour cream, but's a different subject.)

see I hate beans, so Texas chili is just fine with me! Except that I feel like it's weird to just have a big bowl of meat with some onions in it, so I've been experimenting to see what else I would like to add so that it's spicy meat stew and not just a bowl of meat or a tomato soup.

I agree with all you've said and also afaik every restaurant in the UK would agree with you on chilli. I've also been to new mexico and had chilli with beans there so like
The concept of beanless chilli feels made of wrong.

I don't even LIKE beans and I would never ever consider making chili without beans. WTF.

Oh, I deff prefer chili without beans and no spaghetti but I'm somewhat conditioned because my parents ate spaghetti and chili every Sunday lunch since the 15th century so I never want to see it again. (no, my parents aren't from Cincinnati.)

Hard disagree on celery. I find it nasty when raw, but tasty when cooked into something.

I don't even know if I've had chili without beans, but honestly I think I'd like it, with the caveat that there had better be more veg in it to give it the substance it's lacking from the beans.

I can't get with that re: carrots. My mom makes a cooked baby carrots glazed with brown sugar that is basically a sweet to me.
