I don't know anybody who puts kidney beans in their chili.  I know lots of people who make chili.  
People from Texas.  (I'm fifth-generation, myself.)

Who wrote your recipe books?

But I'll go you one better, that a lot of people can appreciate.  I walk into my Starbuck's and they 
sell scones.  The scones they sell are hard, dry, loaded with raspberries or blueberries or such and 
coated with granulated sugar.  I have seen similar items called scones in other places around here, too.

I have been to England and Scotland and I have had scones.  I would dearly love to have a scone right 
this very minute.  And those cold, hard, dry things they sell at Starbuck's are not and were never scones.

Just because you call it something, doesn't make it so.

Actually, not.  Instead you have stumbled on the fact that people who live in places like the Lower 
North Shore don't do chili, but instead "chili-like dishes."  People who live places where chili is a 
sacred food refuse to admit that chili-like is really chili.

This is a fact of life, and nothing to get upset about.  After all, people who live where I do can't do 
fish, but only strange "fish-like" stuff. People on the Lower North Shore can do fish.   Doesn't keep 
restaurants here from listing "seafood" on their menu, but you would be well advised to order sirloin 
steak.

Well, my ISP/phone company/whatever, is still acting up and disconnecting in the middle 
of downloads, but here goes:

I love all the chat on this topic!

Especially Pooks, the Divine Mrs. Harris, and that note from Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, we do fish well, but when I got here, it took a bit of adjustment for me to get used
to eating the local speciality - *boiled* cod.

Ugh.  If that was bad, then it was boiled mackerel, which is a long way from being Holy, and smells 
disgusting to boot. But it's become my favourite fish.

I've learned to smear huge dollops of Miracle Whip on boiled cod and mackerel, and it isn't half bad, 
especially with a whole shaker load of pepper as well.

For a Pacific Island adaptation, try adding a can of coconut cream  to your
boiled fish, and putting curry powder to taste in with the water. Only add
the coconut cream after the water has boiled, and just heat it long enough
to heat the coconut cream through.
Delicious.
