I know you're convinced that a little cinnamon improves your chili.

You are incorrect on this conviction.

My headcanon for the invention of Cincinnati chili is that some midwestern person read that chili is "heavily spiced" and used what they had available, including cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920's. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that's what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati's greatest contribution to American cuisine.

I’m an adamant defender of skyline, but I think it’s already considered Cincinnati’s greatest contribution to American cuisine. I can’t think of any others despite being from Dayton myself

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe goetta? But goetta might be more controversial than skyline, so maybe that disqualifies it

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah it’s definitely more. I think my father in law eats it, but my father was strictly scrapple. Funny enough each eats the other’s city’s gross meat.

When I worked there, I had to refund a few people coming from Missouri and Texas who did not expect what they got (and somehow were not concerned at the smell when they walked in to sit down).

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

I'm from Missouri originally and my family all like it. I don't listen to Texans as a general rule, but especially never about chili or barbecue. They are ao stuck in their ways and refuse to entertain any variation of what they are used to

I wasn't aware that chocolate was a traditional Greek flavoring

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

No Cincinnati chili parlors hhave ever officially added chocolate, but it is common with homemade Cincinnati chili.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

And chocolate. Cincinatti chili is great

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Except for when they eat it over spaghetti and cut it with a knife instead of twirling

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I've managed to do this for decades without incident or injury to myself or others.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Some Greek guy living on Ohio, more accurately (used to work there). EDIT -- should've scrolled down; someone else beat me to the punch.
