MZurf Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 They hang people in Texas for any number of reasons, but even there I don't thinks you'll get offed for using non-real and authentic ingredients in the chili Sorry, I should have written, South Texas. Well, that explains it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You can buy baked beans in a chilli sauce at Tesco, sauce is very similar in taste to chilli con carne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Google Nookies Delights and try his chilli con carne. Best I have tasted and he could bring some down to Pattaya on his fortnightly visits to "buy stock". If you wish add some Brook baked beans - at least as good as Heinz, a fraction of the price and not too sweet like many American brands and those awful Ayam beans.

Jingthing Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The dish was originally carne con chile which actually is more logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 The dish was originally carne con chile which actually is more logical. To paraphrase a certain well known poster; Logical, schmogical! BTW, and off topic; Craig3356 is reporting spotting a Japanese restaurant on soi Chayapruek in the thread "Moving back to Pattaya".

It really important to grill the vegetables in order to release "hidden flavours/smells." The recipe looks too "watery" to me. But you can always thicken it in the end with corn starch. I am hungry!

I like to quote a friend of mine who happens to be linguistic professor at the university of Berlin : Chili con carne comes from Texas and the Englisch is a Pidgin from Anglo saxonic, French and nd Danish , with Welsh Syntax.

Good suggestions above. I also add chopped up celery to the mix. IMHO the cumin is what really gives chili it's distinctive flavour and is an absolute requirement if you are going to call it Chili con carne. One other trick an itallian friend of mine taught me when cooking any sort of tomatoe sauce based dish is that you can use instant coffee to improve the colour of the dish. I also add red kidney beans and usually make it with ground beef. Edited October 1, 2014 by canman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickersvc10 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I enjoyed a very good CCC at the Ronan O'Garah pub on Pratumnak Hill this week. Furthermore, they serve draught (or draft if you are from across the Atlantic) Heineken @ B.120 a pint.Guiness is B220 a pint, delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried Tequilla Reef "one more time" (I had earlier decided to never going there again). I ordered chili. It really was good! And it came with a small side order of chopped onions and cheese and three flour tortillas. It was not very spicy/hot, but they do have hot sauce. I have to say that it was the best chili I have had in Pattaya-Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Okay. I'll stick my foot in it. If plain "chili" is not "con carne" (therefore without meat) and also without beans, then shall we infer it is just some spices and chopped onions, etc? Wouldn't that then fit under classification of "salsa"? Makes me think of 5 easy pieces flick when Nicholson just wants some wheat toast...

prk888 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 just enjoyed what I (as a Brit) considered to be a great meal of chilli con carne (a large bag at B80) from Fon's Foods ...... yes the homemade pie and home made curry lady ................... on Soi 5/1 on left/south side of Theppasist going west towards the sea. BTW - she's also just started taste testing her home made lasagne too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmcleod Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Tequila Reef has Texas Crash and Burn Chili. It is not the best item on their menu but it is not the worst I have ever tasted.

lou62 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Many years ago I ordered Chilli in a Texas livestock auction yard. Expecting to get rice I was surprised to just receive a bowl of spiced minced beef and a couple of packets of crackers. And very nice it was too. Ps. Think I was nearer the middle of Texas.

gk10002000 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Didn't Tequila Reef on soi 7 have some that was decent? The last few years they don't seem to be as busy as they used to be so the quality may have slid down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awohalitsiktoli Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Try the Moonshine bar/restaurant/hotel, soi 4, Jomtien. It is chili con carne w/ beans, but it is good.......better than the other places that have been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Try the Moonshine bar/restaurant/hotel, soi 4, Jomtien. It is chili con carne w/ beans, but it is good.......better than the other places that have been mentioned. I thought it was meh. The owner asked me if it was OK. I said ... OK. Just a thought, but for those looking for a spicy pinto bean dish, there are a number of Indian restaurants in town offering good versions of the vegetarian comfort food of the Punjab -- rajmah masala. It reminds me somewhat of chili but yes I've been living in Thailand too long. Edited May 1, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
