MODERATORS
While I live on Liberal Mountain, I can testify that Iowa seems to have no culinary tradition. It's south of Midwestern German/Scandanvian/Polish food, and north/east of the Southern/Tex-mex food.
As someone who lived in Kansas ditto
They had a weird thing about Cinnamon Rolls and Chili. Together.
What
Yup, every two weeks for school lunch. Also the chili is basically just thick tomato soup with bits of stuff in it.
The whole Cincinatti tradition of putting chili on top of spaghetti seems weird until you realize that by "chili" they mean ragu, ground beef and maybe a little salt.
They're just so completely useless at cooking they think a basic meat sauce is "chili".
It has salt, to the Midwestern pallet that means its spicy. ๐
Dear God
Cinnamon is honestly pretty good in chili if you want to take it that direction.
Cinnamon is definitely underrated as an ingredient in savory dishes. Mexico got that shit figured out.
But also I disagree with cinnamon rolls and chili as a pairing on principle so please don't try and use logic here.
Moroccan cooking involves a shitload of cinnamon in everything savory, and it is delicious.
as everything should
I will admit, I tried cinnamon rolls and chili. As long as the chili itself isn't sweet it's really good. Cornbread and chili is already an amazing combo so it's only a half step away from that
