I agree in principle, but with a couple notable exceptions. First off, it was a biblical tragedy the Moses dropped that third stone table while coming down from that mountain, because I'm pretty sure that the first line on that tablet contained - Thou shalt not used canned chili. Pretty sure the second item was Thou must make chili from left over smoked meats in your refrigerator. Rumor has it that the third line said something about using multiple varieties of pepper - I tend towards 5-7, as time allows - though some chili scholars bicker over how much is too much. Not sure if'n it was on that tablet for sure, but most agree to used roasted corn in any fall recipe. It's what the Native American Indians would do as well. Remember this confessional: Forgive me father for I have sinned: I have used black beans in chili a time or two, but it was only because I had some left over in the fridge and I didn't want them going to waste.
Actually, chili with cornbread is the only time I use utensils to eat chili. Without corn bread, I just use tortilla chip to consume it.
