Real chili?

[Anonymous No.13728604]

I'm making chili today and researched some old recipes. In one from the early 1800's it said tomatoes were never an ingredient, but another one says it was common for cowboys and trail hands to add in wild tomatoes they found.
Should I be putting (canned) tomatoes in my chili?

I enjoy tomatoes in my chili. The only thing I think takes away from a pot of chili or any stew for that matter is beans. Beans are flavorless pockets of mush that were only ever introduced to be a filler ingredient so poor families could feed more mouths with each pot.
>b...but muh fiber
If fiber is such a problem in your diet that you need to shit up a good dish just to introduce it, you need to rethink your life.

The OP, obviously. Why so defensive? You answer this way because you feel like OP is questioning why you put tomatoes in your chili when he is just looking for authenticity. Take your negative complex about tomatoes in chili somewhere else.

If you want wild tomatoes, go down to the local sewage treatment plant. Tomatoes often grow wild there.
