If you have to ask, I can't make you understand.
I think we need to start with a couple of assumptions. First, on some level we are talking about chili as it was traditionally made. Second, at that time the cook made beans for every meal. Third, the meat was whatever was provided to the cook: beef, buffalo, venison, jack rabbit, field rat. Fourth, there weren't that many eating accessories--a plate and spoon, everybody already had a knife. Fifth, weaker argument, dried chillies were likely, ruling out jalapenos mostly. Put chili on a plate, put a side of beans on a plate and you have not only a delicious balanced meal of meat, beans, and hot, but also a recipe for a 150 year argument over how to use a spoon to either capture or avoid the beans. I say just eat it and smile!
HahaJust say no to the can.
