I don't care what it says, electric stoves blow.

I stoppped reading at

"You hear this on a regular basis, mostly from Texans who you would think would not want to provide support for the stereotype of Texans as stupid. The fact is that many delicious traditional (and non-traditional) chilis are made with beans and/or tomatoes. Of course, some places do horrid things with chili (may God have mercy on Cincinnati). There is in fact some basis for this myth. Traditional Texas-style chili is usually made without beans or tomatoes, but that's just one regional variant. "

Clearly there's a bit of miss communication...obviously it's still chili, but it's not 'real' chili or 'mans' chili. Admittedly though tomatoes go well with a stew styled chili. Anyways any article that calls Texans stupid because a Texan probably called them a woman some time in the recent past, isn't even remotely worth my time.

Fully agree win the Rolands. Electric stoves suck ass! I was sooo happy that our house has a nice gas stove and i could get away from temperamental electric stoves.

I think they data mined Alton Brown's show though. Most of this has been covered in recent reruns of his show.

Oh, Chili can have beans just not Lima or other nasty legumes.
