2. Every cook in the south and the west has the best recipe for chili

It's like recipes for tomato sauce or potato salad, there are as many recipes as there are cooks.

Heat in a pot of chili varies from a 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder in recipes from the upper midwest and New England to a quarter cup (minimum) of ground hot chile here in the southwest.

Some cooks are all meat chauvinists and some like pinto beans in it. There are vegetarian chilis that are good, using pintos for protein and a little bulgur wheat for bite.

Optional ingredients can range from instant coffee to peanut butter to unsweetened chocolate.

My advice is to look at recipes online and try the one that looks best to you.
