I'm down with liver. 

I don't like sweet tea, that's a southern thing but not a Texas thing.

"B. PREPARING CHILI
1.Chili must be cooked on site the day of the cookoff from scratch. "Scratch" means starting with raw meat and using regular spices. "Scratch" means starting with raw meat and spices. Commercial chili powder is permissible, but complete commercial chili mixes are NOT permitted.
2.Chili must be prepared out in the open in as sanitary a manner as possible.
3.No beans, pasta, rice or other similar items are allowed.
4.The head cook must prepare the chili to be judged."
So, if the Terlingua chili cook-off's rules define what chili is, then no dish made with a commercial chili mix is chili.  Wick Fowler might say otherwise.


Just as in BBQ, there are specific rules for cook-offs that exist for the purposes of the cook-offs, but they don't define the limits of the world of chili.

The Terlingua cook-off does not own the patent or copyright or trademark on "chili."

There is a kind of similar argument about Brunswick stew, so the two claimants to having originated the real stuff have a contest each year, and the winner alternates.

I really like good Brunswick stew, no potatoes.  It is sort of like chili a bit but is based on pulled pork and chicken.

Counterpoint: Yes, it does.

I'd never even heard of Brunswick stew until some of you folks more from the Deep South were talking about it on this message board (or, likely, one of its predecessors).

It's definitely not a thing here in Texico, but I believe OAM opined that he wouldn't consider a southern place to be a true BBQ joint without it.

Here in Texico, we have "the trinity" which are pretty much required, in order to be considered a true BBQ joint.  That would be brisket, pork spare ribs, and sausage.  That's the minimum, but other smoked meats you'll commonly find are beef ribs, beef cheeks, turkey, chicken, pork loin, pulled pork, and then less commonly and typically only featured as specials, things like pork steaks, pork belly, prime rib, and one of my favorites-- the chicken fried BBQ beef rib.

Brunswick stew is a Southern dish that features a tomato base with beans, vegetables, and meat. Early Brunswick stews were often made with squirrel, rabbit, even opossum, but these days pork, chicken, and beef are common. The original thinking was to use local ingredients and those you have on hand, which remains the same today.

This Brunswick stew is made with cooked pork shoulder or leftover pulled pork, along with shredded or chopped cooked chicken thighs and vegetables. The barbecue sauce and a touch of cayenne pepper add rich flavor to the classic stew. This recipe is a good use of leftover meat and vegetables, as well as taking advantage of what ingredients are in your pantry.

Yeah I read up on it after y'all mentioned it.  Looks good, I'd certainly give it a try were I to find it on a restaurant menu.

It's pretty easy to fix, and it clears out your fridge pretty much.  It's a lot better than Cincy "chili".

My son ate at Scouts on Monday and I'd already made some steaks, so I have a leftover bone-in strip steak that I cooked for him and went uneaten.

So tonight's dinner will be steak tacos, with the steak cut into strips and briefly braised in a chipotle chile gravy and topped with diced onion, cilantro, and a little queso fresco.

That's certainly something a person could do. 

Tacos were delicious, I realized I still had some Hatch red chile powder that I picked up in New Mexico over the holidays, used that as the base for the gravy, and it made for rich and spicy deliciousness.

When I had left over steak, I'd make stew with it, I know one usually makes stew with cheap cuts, but the expensiver cuts make tasty stew.

I once ordered a rather large steak medium rare and it came pretty much well done and the server spotted it and replaced it and let me take the steak home after.  I didn't want to make a fuss because it was an "event" I was hosting for 30 people, but she noticed it was not properly cooked.  

My wife really likes tacos made at home.  Obviously they are easy to make and you're not spending $4-5 for he same thing out.
