Unfortunately, I don’t live in New Joisey. If I did, I would delight in sharing that chili dinner. Although I noticed sliced mild jalepeno peppers are not included as a garnish.

A “chili” dish is made with pureed flame-roasted chile peppers. As a minimum, folk add some bulk, usually kidney beans or small white beans. Real he-men do not put in the “carne” but char-broil a steak to go with it. But for a veggie version suitable for summer see the Pantry Page at http://www.ivyhill.tv I realize this is a catered event, but if you make the cornbread yourself, throw in a can of Mexican corn into the batter. Adds interest.

Beautiful website. I really like the theme.

Chili concarne is chili with meat in it. I use lean ground beef.

oh…..and wondering what chili con carne is too since I’ve seen it at mexican restaurants I always assumed it was some sort of tortilla with chili on it or something. Did you calrify that already and it just went over my head?

Wow! Sounds like a real blast!!

Glad you clarified “The Post” from the “Post Bar”, big difference. I was envisioning sitting around in a place that looked like a bingo hall…….LOL

I’m so looking forward to this event. Will the catered food include seafood? /snicker/

Jim, I would love to come to your blog meet, it has been a long time, since I have been to Jersey. I can’t leave my house in a mess, like it is now. More boxes each day, I may get settled by April, take care, Cat.

I believe that the chili purists would say that you don’t even need kidney beans, as chili with kidney beans is chili con frijoles (pardon my non-Spanish).

Only because you mentioned it . . .

What is chili con carne? Chili with meat, yes? Now I ask you, if you removed the carne/meat, are you left with chili? If yes, then is chili kidney beans, chili powder, onions, and some spices?

Just one of those questions I have never fully had answered.
