LOL, I LIKE Hawaiian chili. The only chili I don't like is when it is
so infused with a miasma of male testosterone 'I can handle hotter than
you' that is has no actual flavor, just searing heat you have to
pretend to 'like'.

Give me the actual flavor of a simple Hawaiian with rice.

Texans and Mexicans might not care for Hawaiian style chili. The rest of the world might appreciate its mild and smooth taste. It achieves this with mild levels of seasonings, a little sugar, and its secret ingredient.
Dinner tonight was Vermont House curry with some pickled turnips.

Vermont is a ways away from Hawai'i last time I checked, but I hear they are great for syrup. So is New Hampshire.

NY produces great maple syrup too. Sugar maple trees produce
fantastic fall foilage, also great cabinet lumber. I have a few
growing here and I planted three more about ten years ago... too bad
that they grow so slowly, plant a sapling today and you may have a
small tree in twenty years.

He's talking about House brand Vermont Curry, made in Japan for many years.

These little bricks of roux contain cheese, honey, apples (hence Vermont), and lots of sugar.

Japanese curry is weird, fascinating, and can be pretty tasty in its gently sweet way.

Vermont is certainly very far away. Vermont House Curry is very close by.

Besides House brand Vermont Curry bricks, there are many varieties of commercial Japanese curries, both brick and powder. Fun stuff.

If anyone is interested in more about Japanese curry bricks, Tejal Rao wrote a very nice NYT article a couple years ago.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/11/m...ks-recipe.html

She also published a recipe for homemade bricks, but you have to be a subscriber to view it.

I often make "chili beans" or "chili sin carne."

I add quite a bit of ground dried chile, usually from Pendery's in Fort Worth.

Acme, Concho, and El Rey are good starter chiles, but there are many more to try.

Some ground Korean chile often goes in too.

Only sometimes do I add tomatoes (usually 6-in-1 Ground Tomatoes).

Always cumin seed, sometimes toasted, sometimes freshly ground.

Dried Mexican oregano goes in toward the end.

I like mayacobas, cooked from dry, but pintos (even canned) are fine.

I probably shouldn't admit it, but occasionally I'll add some textured vegetable protein (Bob's Red Mill; simmered separately and drained). Adds some protein and texture without adding meat. This is the only thing I use the stuff for.

No matter how you make it, it's usually better the next day.

Totally missed the beat there. It was a curry, that has a 'Vermont'
name on it. No relation to maple syrup at all.

Sorry, mine isn't bland and doesn't use stock.

As a Caribbean Hispanic, I proudly assert that rice goes with absolutely everything, including chili.

(From your sig) : Ph D in music theory.

So why have we 'evolved' such a complicated language of music notation?

Even with modern tools to unambiguously put a note on the line or in a
space (vs. sometimes accidentally touching a line), there are still
multiple 'clefs', and the hideous clutter of octothorpes & half-spades on
*every* line to denote the key.

It would probably be easier for a novice to make sense of a midi stream
which has been piped into almost any UTF-8 character set.


Also, are you aware of any serious attempt / intent on anyone's part to
carry the scale resolution to the next level in the Fibonacci sequence?

The trivial case required to define the Fibbonacci sequence as it applies
to musical scales is 1 note per octave, i.e. a piano with only the 'C'
keys.

The next case is a piano with two keys per octave, 'G' and 'C'. G is at a
frequency 3/2 times the 'C' below it; or 2/3 the C above it.

The next case is 3 keys per octave. C, G, & E to incorporate sub-
multiples of 5 ('fifths').

The next case is the 5 tone 'pentatonic' system used by oriental music.

The next is the 8 tone (white) keys of Western Music.

The next is the 13 tone (black + white keys) of western music.


Is there any serious work being done on a the next level? (21 keys)

I have to agree with you on that one. My wife, a white lady raised by a Korean woman is certainly crazy about rice. I suppose that makes her easy to feed. Just give her some rice and a "rice thief" and some kim chee. Yesterday, we had pastele stew and some pot roast so check and check. Pastele stew is a pastele made as a stew. Pretty awesome, eh?

Agreed, we eat very little rice... I think people convince themselves
that rice is good because it's dirt cheap and they are cheapo
*******s. Rice has no food value unless one wants to get scurvy.
There are many more nutritious grains... other than carbs rice
contains zero nutrition.

I used to know a guy from Miami (family previously from Indiana). He always
ate chili over rice.

My husband eats it over spaghetti, since he's from Cincinnati.

I like the taste. A little rice once in a while won't hurt me.

It's not always about the food value, or you wouldn't drink Crystal Palace,
which has no nutritive value.

You're too old for rice. Culturally you're from 1875. You're a potato
eater.

I'd rather eat it with rice than with beans. Much lighter.

I eschew white rice, I'll only eat brown...white rice is tasteless to me...

And ya make vodka have nutritive value by adding things like lemon, lime, V8, etc....a good Bloody Mary is a veritable Feast 'o Good Nutrition...!!!
