Yeah, but I notice you don't provide pasta for the Yankees. 
(I can't tell you how amused when somebody from Chicago explained five-way chili to me, 
and acted like it was authentic.)

    "Five-way chili" isn't a Chicago invention, AFAIK...it's from Cincinnati. 
And it's most definitely NOT chili! Beans in chili may be heretical. 
Pasta in/under/with chili is sacrilege!!!

Yes Don, I have used some and I am thinking that maybe I should
try and make 'real' chili for the church supper I'm hosting next
Friday!! After all I have a host of recipes to choose from <g>

I shall have to go and find out what pinto beans are as I don't
know and am pretty sure I've never used them! But yes, I must
confess to using red kidney beans <bg>

I suspect that the Italians would regard chili with pasta a sacrilege too.
