I've been hankering for a pot of chili since it got some cold. Think I'll
make some tomorrow. I'm like you I'd rather the chili be really thick.

if it's too thick, when you crumble the crackers into it they don't soak
up anything.

I prefer crumbled tortilla chips in mine.

Do you ever make tortilla soup with them? You can get fancy or as
simple as chicken broth, commercial salsa fresca plus tortilla chips.

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

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 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.

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?

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?)
