What does ambrosia have to do with Cincinnati chili?

I meant a copy of a book by Ambrose Bierce.

I kind of hate mentioning this, but a friend of mine who is a...ahem...stealers fan...invites me over to his place whenever the Bengals and stealers play. He usually gets a quart of Cincinnati chili from Hard Times just for me--he likes it too, but won't admit it. It's good, but like Jamie said...not [i]as[/i] good.

I'll admit that Cincinnati chili has grown on me, however, I prefer to think of it more as a sauce than true chili. I've lived in Texas and tasted/enjoyed true chili. Skyline, etc is only [i]called[/i] chili, but it is an entirely different animal. I do like it though, just not on spaghetti. Coneys are the only way to go for me.
For real chili, I prefer spicier, meatier, thicker concoctions with red kidney beans and preferably over white rice than spaghetti, or, meaty anough that no carbohydrate is required at all.

Indeed--Cincinnati chili is a type of food that isn't really chili--I'd call it goulash or something (who knows...). I put up with a lot of grief from Texans because of the Cincy chili--they can't seem to accept that it doesn't purport to be Chili as such--rather, it purports to be Cincinnati-style. The use of the word chili is confusing and perhaps even unfortunate.

Cincy chili is chili in name only. And again, I do think it tastes great. It just doesn't share the common attributes with what I would ascribe the true defenition of CHILI to be.
But it's all good. I eat it.

Skyline. Is there any other???

As for it being watery, etc. let me help you out.

Try ordering like this!!!

3-Way (DRY!!!!!), on a jumbo plate
1 Cheese, no onion
Extra bowl of cheese and crackers, please.

Lunch / Dinner of gods...

Everytime I'm in town it is Skyline and UDF malts. Beautiful thing. My wife is from Knoxville and I've even got her hooked on Skyline - she has to have it everytime we're in town.
