Chapter I Introduction
Love is like a bowl of chili: The hotter the better. Anonymous
Chili con carne can be, and often is, many different things to different people.
To some it is merely a dish, nothing more than a bowl of spicy food. To others it is a topping for hot dogs. But the true chili faithful have no time or temperament for such things. Serious chili cooks and chili eatersand their numbers are legion and growingregard chili as so much more than mere food.
Among the purists, the preparation and eating of chili has been elevated to an art form. Nutritionists are now giving chili a second look and finding some good things to say. Many others consider cooking and eating chili a form of recreation, some regard it as a kind of therapy, a few liken it to a branch of medicine, and many perceive it as a form of entertainment. To growing numbers of chilimeisters, cooking chili represents an opportunity for competition and provides a level of culinary excitement. Still others are convinced chili is an aphrodisiac, and some even maintain chili is a spiritual experience.
Whatever one's orientation or preference as it relates to chili, this special dish, in its many forms and in so many ways, has become part and parcel of the culture of North America, some would even say the world.
Margaret Cousins, the venerable editor at Doubleday books, once stated, "Chili is not so much a food as a state of mind." Harry James, the famous band

leader, trumpet player, and a man who surely knew his chili, once said, "Next to jazz music, nothing lifts the spirit and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili." Francis X. Tolbert, a Texan long associated with chili, once wrote, "A bowl of chili is a haunting, mystic thing."
The late, great humorist Will Rogers loved chili and spoke of it often. Rogers rated the quality of life in towns around the United States on the basis of the chili found at each one. His survey was kind of a forerunner to today's popular places rated surveys. Rogers' only criterion was, of course, chili. According to Rogers, Coleman, Texas, was at the top of his list.
