I just watched for a moment, and his brother was going on a tirade about how the audience needs to question everything including them and that they're full of shit and people shouldn't just accept everything they say. Fatty is sitting and seething in silence.
Why brown the meat when you can give it freezer burn?
He both doesn't understand and doesn't give a shit. He doesn't seem to care all that much about taste so long as it's spicy and doesn't get dominated by yucky not-meat like vegetables. He only cares about texture, hence why he mixes the cheese and sour cream into the shitslop soup he calls chili and turns it atomic orange.
And how could we forget the pasta abominations he used to make where he'd mix two entire containers of ricotta into two bottles of RAO's turning it the color of puke and having the same consistency.
That's where the flavor comes from didn't you know?
Well yeah questioning the narrative is good. But if all you listen to are idiots like Fatty and his brother then you're going to get a skewed view of things. And if you only listen to the side that supports your bias then... why even bother?
Sure, but more importantly Fatty was being told he should allow people to question him. You know, the one thing he hates the most?
Chili powder or your own dried pepper mix I think is the true core of the dish, since that pepper is your flavor base, not the tomatoes. Heck it's not a bad idea to use a stock or broth as your liquid base instead of tomatoes if you do it right. Cumin is one of the key items needed, alongside garlic. Onions can be incorporated early to round the flavor, or late to give a texture to compliment.
They're pretty good if you want something like a pot roast but fast. They also work well for swiss steak. I like them for cuts of meat that are already flavorful without doing much to them, like chuck.
Since everyone's sperging about their preferred ways to make chilli, i guess ill go: I like a tomato base, chipotle peppers (its hard for me to find anything but canned ones where I live, so I go with that), cumin, oregano, some coriander seed, cocoa, and onions added early on. I've never tried coffee in there (i'm sure itll be nice, but im concerned about the caffiene affecting sleep), nor cinnamon. I usually use a mix of every variety of bean i can get my hands on and small chunks of tough cuts of meat.
Chili spice whether the commercial kind or your own is key. But yes, cumin is necessary as are a few others but it's like Garam Masala. It's a blend of spices and no two blends taste quite the same. So you go with what works. Or like Fatty does just throw a bunch of random shit together and hope for the best.
Coffee you've got like a cup worth for an entire pot. So how many servings is that divided into? Unless you're super sensitive to it.
If you're a guest at their house, load the shower rod up with sardines.
Winter is coming……
Firm agree, chili without cumin is haram. Also:
This. It's chili. The base of the dish should be chili peppers, other wise your making a tomato based stew. Fite me.
It’s all about picking the right method of cooking for the food in front of you. Bear in mind that all of the electric pressure cookers I’ve seen on the market can also function as slow cookers. But they take up a lot less room than a traditional slow cooker.
I usually use chili powder containing cumin and also add some cumin.
The only thing I would add to this is using a healthy splash of a nice dry white wine to deglaze, adds a nice touch to the flavor profile.
