I'd much rather have cinnamon rolls with chili than corn bread. Corn bread
is for ham and beans.

Why would you say that? I've been eating cinnamon rolls with chili since
9th grade in Colorado. Of course that was back when they actually cooked
from scratch in an actual school kitchen.

Makes me glad we eat our chili over steamed brown rice. Cornbread is
good with milk poured over it and also with beans and ham on it. DW
likes it hot with molasses over it for breakfast.

I seriously dare you to try Chili with cornbread.

And I, in turn, shall try it with brown rice. I happen to like brown
rice. ;-)

When I have chili with rice, the rice is white. Chili and rice (even
brown) is a good combo AFAIC, but I do rice with leftover chili.
Cornbread and saltines go with the first day's bowl.

Well, I guess if you serve chili with beans, the rice is a must. <g>
Hope you have tortillas!

Seriously tho', to me, a good cornbread can go with any good soup or
stew type dish.

"Be adventurous"? YOU try chili with cinnamon rolls, and report back on how
it was! I'm pretty damn adventurous, but that combination just sounds very
wrong to me.

It's like using Krispy Kremes as a hamburger roll. It's not for me,
but someone thinks it's a great idea.

I'll give a pass on the cinnamon rolls with chili thanks!
Altho' I do include a teensy amount of cinnamon (and cocoa powder) in
chili!

I feel like you just smacked me in the forehead with a hammer! I had
completely forgotten, but when I was in grade school, some 50 years ago,
we *always* had cinnamon rolls when there was chili for the school
lunch. Every single time. They were big rolls, too, or at least they
seemed big to a little kid.

In my area of the country, west coast Florida, we had the cornbread,
but I recall usually dry drab stuff. The thought of cinnamon rolls
really sounds good. Even poor cin. rolls, compared to poor cornbread,
sounds good. Now how do I do this, with the late onset diabetes and
all. Off to buy a cinnamon roll this weekend. Mmmm, sounds good.

They had to be 100% cornmeal. BTDT (not brought up eating cornmeal
bread), it was too dry for me.

I just use masa harina instead of flour. I like a ratio of 3/4 c
of that to 1 1/4 c cornmeal.

I've never found unfrosted cinnamon rolls to go with chili, I always have to
make them. If you want to cheat use frozen bread dough and roll it out and
just use butter, white sugar and cinnamon on them.

I usually just use a sweet roll dough for them.

"Corn bread" and "cornbread" are not the same, not even close.
"Corn bread" (two woids) is an extremely robust coarse grained sour
dough rye bread (contains no corn/maize), best for a corned beef
sandwich.

"Cornbread" (one woid) is a quick bread made from a ground corn/maize
batter, more a very wussy cake than a bread, same as a corn muffin...
not suitable for chili. Good chili is best with corn chips, as in
with nachos made from blackened corn tortillas... otherwise chili
should be eaten au jus... or some chili eaters eat chili on a bed of
plain white long grain rice or with soda crackers... only toothless
redneck trailer trash canned chili eaters serve that slop with corn
bread/cake. Never in my life hoid of chili with cinnamon buns,
absurd.

Too stupid for a response, really, but just for the hell of it, if you
go to Wikipedia and enter "corn bread" you are redirected to the
article on "cornbread." If you go to Epicurious you will find three
variants, "corn bread," "corn-bread" and "cornbread" used quite
interchangeably throughout the website.

I went to a small country school in Michigan (under 100 students) and
we weren't served hot lunches but we could buy milk for 5¢. If our
lunch was hot, our mothers packed it in a Thermos.

That's where I was introduced to the combination, in elementary
school. Back then I would always trade my bowl of chili for someone's
cinnamon roll though (shuddering at the memory of the Lunch Lady's
*chili*).

That reminds me of another odd thing they served at my elementary
school: chocolate cake with sauerkraut in it. Does anyone else here
remember being served that?

I never got that in elementary school, but I have the recipe for the cake.
The sauerkraut is *supposed* to be reminiscent of shredded coconut in its
texture. It's more nutritious than coconut, and you're not supposed to be
able to taste it. If you could taste it, then the sauerkraut probably wasn't
rinsed and drained well enough.

Here's the recipe I have:

Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake

"No one will ever guess that there is sauerkraut in this cake unless
you tell them," wrote an Ohio farm wife. "The sauerkraut shreds almost
disappear as the cake bakes and taste like crunchy coconut."

2 1/4 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup very hot water
2/3 cup sauerkraut, rinsed, drained and chopped

Sift together first 5 ingredients; set aside.

Cream butter and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

Add dry ingredients alternately with water to creamed mixture, beating well
after each addition. Stir in sauerkraut. Spread batter in greased 13x9x2
baking pan.

Bake in 350F oven 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan on rack.
Frost with a creamy chocolate frosting.

They're both good, but Isaac is right, crackers are the traditional
accompaniment. Oyster crackers, even, though saltines are more common
nowadays. I've seen tortillas (both corn and flour) served in that spot,
too. And of course, people serve chili on top of spaghetti or rice in some
places. I find them all acceptable, and my favorite depends on my mood.

To accompany a bowl of chili, my choices in order of preference are
saltine crackers, corn chips, tortilla chips and corn bread. Oh gosh,
now I'm in a chili mood.

Well, I just wrote about the *starchy* stuff to accompany chili. I also have
been known to garnish chili with sliced avocado, sliced pickled jalapeños,
black olives, wedges of lime, sour cream, cilantro, chopped onion, and
shredded cheese. (But not all at the same time!) If I made a no-bean chili I
might add beans (pinto, kidney, black, or "small pink" beans) into the bowl
when I'm eating it.

One of these days I'll try shredded cabbage with chili; I remember Kathleen
mentioning that some time ago. (Come to think of it, where is Kathleen these
days?)
