Chile Con Carne: A History

It's simple really. Peppers with meat in a spicy stew with tomatoes, onions, beans and other ingredients in many variations as the mind can muster. Baja to Cincinnati right through the heart of Texas, which is the official state dish, chili con carne, chile or, for short, is one of the most famous native American food.

Some say that chili was invented in Mexico during the 1840's, possibly in Chihuahua, as a complimentary dish served at cantinas for outsiders, who wanted something spicy and cheap. Others say he was born in Ensenada, Mexico in the 1880's as a way of stretching available meat in the kitchens of poor Texans. Many Texas residents say it was the invention of the cowboy from Texas who was eaten by the cube and took their herds across the plains. The most imaginative origin traces its roots back to pre-Columbian Aztec cooks.

What is unclear certain is that in the 1880's, colorfully dressed Hispanic women called "Chili Queens" began to operate around Military Plaza and other public places high traffic in downtown San Antonio, Texas, where overheating cast iron pots of chili cooked and sold by the plate.

sanitation laws in the late of the 30 closed the Queens Chile, but not the public's appetite for this tasty Western dish. Chile parlors opened in the hundreds. These small joints, chile extended family from Texas to the rest of the U.S., and became part of the landscape before the Second World War the United States. Even today, almost any U.S. claims to be able to cook does not have its own secret recipe chili, either hot, sweet, thick, thick or just curious format.

Regional variations add a certain level of enjoyment for chili lovers. Traditional Texas style chili is thick and uses few or no vegetables. New Mexico chile is famous for its consistency thinner and use green chiles instead of red. In the chili in Cincinnati, Ohio has a sauce like quality and is used as a condiment or topping for hot dogs or spaghetti. White Chile does not use the tomato and is based on beans. Vegetarian chili (meat sin Chile) is, of course, without meat. Health conscious chile ditch the fat and white button mushrooms substitutes for beans to reduce calories. In fact, chili dish is so malleable it can be difficult to define. However, most people know when try, and they are all happy to do it.
