Vixmom, Betsy is making a delicious chili this week, but I'm afraid JohnG would probably disapprove, as it won't have meat and will have beans. I never knew that Texas chili didn't have beans until I watched that episode of Top Chef: Texas.
I still haven't seen that episode, even though I was there.
And yes, you are correct, no beans, no corn, no tofu, no faux-fu (for the tofu intolerant), no potatoes and for some, no tomatoes, either.
