That would make you a fake Mexican only. Ups. Forgot. Chile con carne is not
Mexican, but Texan. But you are proving yourself to have difficulty in
correctly identifying things... like radio stations. And now food.

Hmm, I've heard a few tales on where chile originated; Texas, New
Mexico, Mexico and the truly specific "someplace in the Southwest."
The only common thread is that it was made by cowboys (vaqueros) who
were trying to find a way to make their meat more palatable. I hope
you serve the beans as a separate entree.
