Default The origins of Texas style chili

The other comment is that, as far as I know, chili contains beef and
although deer and antelope were here long before the conquest,


Just a gentle correction for anyone who cares. There have never been
antelope in the Americas. You are probably refering to the pronghorn -
"Antelocapra americana". It is not related to antelopes nor to any living
animal. As the scientific name suggests, they are sometimes placed in a
group of animals called "goat antelopes" although they are neither. Other
animals in this group: chamois, saiga, takin and muskox. Other than the
muskox and takin none are actually related.
