Chili - beans or no beans?

[Harvest Moon]

Real Chili uses Pork not beef, and it doesn't have beans or fruit in it.

Wow..interesting! So "real chili" does not contain any fruit at all? So it sounds like you are saying chili as just some browned pork and maybe some onions or garlic? Even a jerk like you should know that real "chili" needs to contain a form of a fruit that we refer to as a vegetable - that is Peppers.

Peppers, including "hot"/capsicum are the "fruit" of plants that are members of the nightshade family. Tomatoes fall into the same classification.

Actually from the meat perspective, it was originally made with deer or antelope meat, later came beef. In more modern times, pork is added for flavor.
