Chili - beans or no beans?

[Harvest Moon]

"This chili contains no onions, beans or tomatoes. It is even better the next day. Season to your tastes as it may be too spicy for you.
You can also add pinto beans, sour cream and lime juice, if desired."

cut out the bullshit "recipe"

Hey Dick, Is that really the best you could do in terms of a recipe? "allrecipes.com" Really??

Sounds pretty bland to me, but yet you add a caveat about season to your taste as it might be too spicy?? Seriously, have you ever made this recipe? There is no way this recipe has the complexity that "real chili" needs to have, whether you use beans and tomatoes or not.

And do you actually realize that chili powder is ground up peppers, so "your" recipe does in fact contain fruit.
