Chocolate Chili is absolutely delicious.
200 grams of dark chocolate are a good amount for a large 5 liter pot.
Also, one of the best winter beverages is cocoa powder (without sugar) boiled in milk with fresh chili peppers.But don’t use Hershey’s for fucks sake.
Or Nestle
My man a 5 litre pot is not a large pot of chili.
I mean this could be an interesting combo, sweet and savoury together can be amazing if done ri-
sees its Hersheys
No I agree, whoever made this should be sent to the hague.
Correct, Hershey’s is not for human consumption.
It was the worst thing about my holiday in America. The chocolate is universally terrible. Way too sweet, rough texture and chemical taste to the dairy content (something in the milk used).
It’s the butric acid
The vomit flavor
which is also present in plenty of cheeses, many of which are also used in sweets…
Editing 2 months later: I live in America where “sweets” just means “sweet things” not “candy.” Cheesecake, cream cheese frosting, cannoli filling etc.
What are these cheese candies you’re eating?
What are these cheese candies you’re eating?
the real crime is using Hershey’s or any other American milk chocolate 🤮
As is usually the case for this kind of thing, there are tons of good chocolates from America. They just don’t come from major brand names.
For that matter, Nestlé is Swiss.
I specified American milk chocolate because American milk chocolate typically uses a more sour milk which gives it its distinctive flavour. Personally I can’t really stand it but to each their own.
That’s a myth. Nobody is going to claim Hershey’s is quality chocolate, but they don’t use sour milk. Nor does American chocolate in general.
Chocolate or cocoa powder in chili yes
But not that much. Just a lil very dark chocolate
That’s not chili, I see beans, so it appears to be a bean soup or bean stew, but I concur, a bit of cocoa and/or a touch of cinnamon can really elevate a chili or bean stew.
A purist I see!
Pfft, I bet you don’t even think a hot dog is a sandwich.
I’m not even sure if a sandwich is a sandwich.
Huh, I didn’t know chili had such an incredibly strict definition. Does this strict definition mean that adding anything extra no longer makes it chili? If so is chocolate, cocoa, or cinnamon also included in this super strict definition? If not then isn’t adding these things make it some kind of “stew” not chili? Or is it just beans that make this dish magically transform into something else?
I’d love to see this definition. Specifically where it says “unless it has beans, then it becomes something else”
Today you learned! It’s always a wonderful feeling to learn new things!
Chocolate, cocoa, and cinnamon are flavorings and spices. Those are allowed in Chile. Chili is meat, tomato, onion, and spices. And yes, you can use chili as a base for a nice veggie stew with the addition of beans or q lot of other veggies!
Cheers!
Oooh sorry that’s incorrect. No I think you’ve confused “Chili” and “Chili con carne”. Chili doesn’t have meat, and if you add it then you have “Chill con carne” (con carne = with meat)
We have to be ridiculously gatekeepy and precise in our words, of course.
Oof, cringe af, bro. Don’t be that person.
Everything about your comment is incorrect.
Chile con carne is the Mexican dish you are referencing. Chili is a beef dish that originated in Texas and does not contain beans or other starchy vegetables. Chili con carne isn’t a thing. You are confusing two similar things.
I refuse to believe you don’t see the irony in your response
Yes, chili is a fantastic source of iron, but many people don’t realize that bean stew is also very irony!
Lady, I don’t know how to break this to you, but this is a shitpost community. There’s no room here for facts and logic. Touch grass.
It’s actually a pretty good idea to add chocolate to certain savory dishes. Not that much or that kind, but still.
I put a single extremely dark chocolate square in my chili, it’s quite nice!
Never Hershey milk chocolate though
Mole sauce, for example. It’s absolute bliss!
Mole is absolutely delicious
I think we should collective start putting quotes around the word “chocolate” when referring to Hershey’s “chocolate”.
Nervously eats my Cincinnati Chili
See, that’s okay because:
- it’s Cincinnati Chili
- Dark Chocolate is typically added.
The picture is cursed because they fucking used hershey’s milk chocolate.
Yeah but I bet they ate their chili with spaghetti.
Skyline Sixway: spaghetti, chili, a sepia photograph of garlic, grated laserdisc, a 747, and anxiety
I put cocoa powder in my chili.
Yeah, cocoa powder enhances the flavor of the chili without making it taste like chocolate. What’s going on this picture is a crime though.
To be fair, the ratio of milk chocolate (15%) to dark chocolate (80%) works out to about 70% cocoa.
Chef put in about 10x too much, but maybe we don’t know how deep that pot is.
I say give it its day in court before we start thowibg around words like 'crime" or “inhumane”
I stand by the statement that adding Hershey’s to anything, including the human body, is a misdemeanor at best.
iirc Hershey’s dark is only 45% so basically milk chocolate
If that’s true then I’m not afraid to start lobbing terms like “crimes against humanity” around
How deep does this rabbit hole.go???
Just to be dramatic I’ll go one step further and call this terrorism.
I pulled up short of “genocide,” but someone else alread pointed out it is Hershey’s in that pot.
Yeah, same here.
Scrolling past this on an amoled screen with extra-low brightness this kinda looked like a satellite with solar arrays lol
Hmm, I think the beans need to have some canned fish in there as well. It’s the only way to complement the flavor in all its subtleties.
Your comment made me throw up a little in my mouth.
You put the Peeps in the chili pot and it makes it taste bad…
Gordon, no. Get the shotgun, we gotta put em down like ol yeller.
that curry dish has way too much water in it.
¯\(ツ)/¯ I put peanut butter in mine.
[hides]
Smooth or chunky?
Smooth.
Coward! 🤜💥
I am pretty sure that is not how you make Mole.
Nice to mole you. Meet you. Nice to meet you mole.
Don’t say mole.
I said Mole.
