Many have tried to make it. Those many have failed miserably multiple times. This is why there needs to be like a North American Veggie Chili Cook-off so I can put my money where my mouth is. Good stuff! winter's a comin' means i get to make big batches.
I actually placed in the veggie section of a chili cook off.... the winner had meat, the rules did not say ONLY veggie ingredients. Sigh. They should call it what it means: "place to use the maligned bean."
For sure - I love chili. I don't care if I win, it'll just give me a reason to cook more chili! The last chili I made I threw in some tofu and it was almost indistinguishable from meat chili....which reminds me of a thread I need to make. brad
I am currently available for hiring as an amateur taste-tester for this Veggie Cookoff '06! You provide the transportation, and I'll provide the taste buds as well as the tasty buds. And we will make the ultimate ... in veggie chili.
Hikaru, I would LOVE to bring you, but I'm afraid, as I'm sure others, that I simply cannot afford you.
