Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It's a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that's in Cincinnati, and I've seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn't shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it's rare to find someone who generally doesn't like it when they give it a chance. It's a weird food.

Funny I had n eee ver heard of this. But I thought to myself that’s a really good idea. (I like chili, I like spaghetti, so why not.) but I’m like damn that picture makes it look awful.

I would 100% eat this without beans.

Before anyone decides to come at me, I am autistic and the texture of most beans make me want to puke.

Throw some oyster crackers on there for crunch and more carbs, and it’s even better.

[-] miraclerandy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Just good vibes at skyline.

Im confused... cincinatti chili is the shit. This is coming from a person who has never been remotely near cincinatti.

When you hear jokes about Italians getting angry at non-traditional pizzas, in reality it's about certain Americans and chili.

They'll literally beat eachother up if there's beans, no beans, this spice, not that spice, etc. While Italians don't give a fuck about peoples pizza, as long as they don't try to call it authentic Italian when it's not.

I'm high and would definitely eat this rn.

Coming off 72 hours of non stop nausea and I'd eat any fucking thing I can.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The metric shitload of cheese would make me apprehensive about making myself nauseous again, but the chili spaghetti can get straight into my belly. It's like chili mac for people of culture.

[-] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Thankfully it says cheese is not included.

I can just use a regular amount if I make it. I wonder how different types of cheese will taste on it.

Parmesan would be interesting. Blue cheese would be horrid but I wanna try that too.

Like enough for one bite so the rest isn't ruined.

I can only stand Cincinnati chili with a bunch of cheese and hot sauce. The coneys are the best way to eat that chili close second is a chili dip.

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Camp Washington Chili is probably the best place I’ve been to. Puts Skyline and Gold Star in their place.

Three anti-Ohio memes on the front page right now.

I feel like I missed something.

I'm also not sure I want to know.

First they ignore you

Then they laugh at you

Then they fight you

Then you win

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

We have corn, hell signs, and skyline chili, there is a lot going on here.

What? That looks delicious.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

This is supposed to go on Fritos. Why do y'all put yourselves through this in the Midwest?

[-] Syranati@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

I assure you, this is a strictly Cincinnati phenomenon.

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

It’s all over the cities remotely close to Cincinnati too… and it’s actually pretty good. Not big on the spaghetti part, but the chili is pretty good.

[-] MrGooglyPants@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Nah we got this shit in the south too.

This is good a few times a year. You can get habanero cheese and they have a good house hot sauce. You can also do mini coneys instead of noodles.

Chili Mac is definitely a delicious thing. Why not Chili Spaghetti?!

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Is that not normal food where you’re from?

[-] Bread@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, and it isn't bad actually. Just overpriced.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah honestly it’s one of the few meats I still crave as a pescatarian, which is weird because it’s always been pretty good but nothing super special aside from tasting like home

[-] 0oWow@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It needs that much cheese just to be palatable, for me anyway. That chili is nasty.

[-] Menachem@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

chili spaghetti is extremely normal tho ?

i mean skyline sux and all but like

[-] mcribbs@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Burn the heretic! Skyline rules!

[-] webbie602@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Sometimes, you just want Gold Star Chili

[-] SuperSoftAbby@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I honestly never had chili on spaghetti till I moved here. It also only happened because we were too poor for spaghetti sauce.

[-] Menachem@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

i mean it's spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce

[-] Syranati@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Well and the cinnamon. And the shredded cheddar cheese.

[-] mcribbs@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

ALL the shredded cheddar cheese

It’s unholy. I had a coworker tell me that I “needed to force it down a few times” before I would start to like it. That’s stockholm syndrome for food my guy.

[-] Menachem@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

the only restaurant chili with cinnamon is skyline, which is specifically why i dont like it
