proponents of one or another approach to the dish can become. It's great that some take it totally seriously and pay attention to every small detail of the recipe they've settled on as what tastes best to them. I say more power to anyone who eats a dish that tastes perfectly delicious to them. Same for the cook who takes pride in preparing a dish exactly the way it tastes best to them. But it ain't a competition, guys. No need to insist that your way is the BEST and ONLY way. I say, long live the differences in regional and family in taste and recipes. It is variety that makes life good. Just my liberal two cents.

Hot Sauce? You've got to use the right kind. 1/2 teaspoon of Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce. TheBlackAdder Oct 2018 #18
Yeah , I've played with Dave's before The Polack MSgt Oct 2018 #19
Ew! Texas Pete. I use that on Pizza, but it is too salty and vinegary for chili. TheBlackAdder Oct 2018 #21
