Well I hope you had 'real chile' ........ you know, the stuff made
with chunks of meat and no beans (as I recall from when I lived in
Michigan the 'chile' used kidney beans and was more akin to goulash).

A little before my time, but the story I heard was that they started
using beans during the Depression because they couldn't afford meat.
