I finished the last of the risotto for lunch today. It is the only real
rice dish I make but occasionally, it fits in with the rest of the
meal. Most times it is a pilaf type, not plain white rice.

I live in the US, but often read British food writing (Guardian, BBC, etc). Im surprised how often their chilli con carne recipes call for it to be served with rice.

Im no chili purist, I like rice in all its forms, and have enjoyed chili with rice more than once. But they seem to regard rice as an almost indispensable accompaniment.

It truly doesnt bother me how people choose to eat their chili, but Ive long found it odd that this inauthentic (in its native Texas) pairing seems so ubiquitous in England.

Im not oblivious to the fact there are many stranger and less authentic food pairings common in the US (and elsewhere).

Take a look at BBCs compilation of chilli con carne recipes and see what you think.

There's a restaurant here that's been in business a few hundred years and chili
is one of their specialities. More than once when I worked I'd dash into their
establishment and order '3-way' chili to go. Chili, spaghetti, and a tamale.

Dang it, now I'm getting a hankering for chili and tamales.

rice, potatoes, pasta, grains and beans support other ingredients to
make interesting and diverse meals. I can't imagine a pantry without
any one of those in stock to be ready to make dinner.
