As I have read and others here have posted, "authentic" chili doesn't have
any tomatoes in it, or beans. The red color comes from dried, ground red
chilis. Also, most people who make "authentic" chili don't use hamburger
either. I happen to like non-authentic chili made with hamburger,
tomatoes and beans.


I understand that there is a restaurant in the Southwest of the US that
serves many different types of chili, made with different ingredients.
They don't have anything on the menu that is called simply "chili". When
customers say they just want a bowl of regular old chili, they are told
that the restaurant doesn't have that. If the customer insists, then they
bring them a bowl of chili. No meat, no spices, just green chilis in a
bowl. I'd love to see the customer's face when they get served that!
