Azzmador blocked me over this.

Azzmador was a staunch chili purist.

You can be sincerely wrong.

That Azzmador was a staunch chili purist? He is no longer here with us to speak for himself, but I assure you, he accepted only one definition of chili. Texas chili. Period. End of. Full stop.

So, what's the definition of Texas style chili?

> So, what's the definition of Texas style chili? Beef is canonical, but other meats can be added for variation. Meat in chunks is preferred over ground meat. The Sacred Six: paprika, oregano, cumin, garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper Other flavorings are allowed for variation provided they do not overpower the cayenne. Often can include fresh chilis. Tomato-based sauce. This can include whole or pieces of tomato. Masa flour is the traditional thickening agent, though other corn flours are acceptable.

I have made elk, venison, buffalo, and goat chili. Beef is the usual suspect, but I find venison makes a very fine version.

Meat choices can be regional. South coasters often add alligator. East Texans have javelina. I've had rattlesnake chili in South Central Texas.
