> >What do you serve with a classic chili? > "Classic chili" means different things to different people. I've seen bloodshed over this issue. :) I don't put beans in (or on) my chili, but I sometimes serve it with the following (depending on which type I make and how hot it is): shredded cheese saltine or oyster crackers (I don't use them, but guests really like them) sour cream (especially if it's really fiery) chopped onion chopped hot pepper hot sauce nice, crusty bread take care, -Jacqueline Healer of Bland Food Lover of No-Bean Chili ;)
