Oh, I know.

We may need to lump chili I with religion and politics and not allow discussion.

 

[Tom]

You can't have chili without beans! Well, I guess you can if you're a Texan, us northerners make allowances for Texans because they're right on every other pressing issue.

Plus 1 on Beans...........Oh, and hot enough to get a sweat going on your forehead and back of the neck too.
Well, that's how I used to like it........not sure if I can handle it now, seems my gall bladder was good for something other than causing me pain.

 

[L Ross]

I like most all kinds of chili, from the Wisconsin School cafeteria soup to no tomato no beans, just meat, spices, and chiles. I prefer it not so hot that I can still taste the meat. I'll bet a lot of really spicy food from a lot of different cultures was designed to cover up the flavor of meat that had "gone off" a little.

I now favor chili recipes where I have to put dried chiles in boiling water and then blend them. I also make my own chili powders, but the hottest I use are chili d' arbol.

 

[Missionary]

So who does make an upper with no FA ? Dust covers do not bother me at all.
Anyone just ground off the FA hub and covered it over with whatever JB welded on ?

 

[Petrol & Powder]

Aero Precision makes uppers without a forward assist and I'm sure there are others.
I can't say cutting the FA off would be on my list of modifications.
I don't hate the FA, I just wish more manufacturers would omit it.

Oh, and one thing on the chili. Over Here in Zambia, the chili powder is exactly that. It's imported from India, like all the other fine spices. No added paprika or cinnamon or other fillers like in the United States. So, when Mrs. Bisley added the recommended three tablespoons to the family recipe, well...

We learned in Cambodia to handle spices with a mild acid, like apples or pineapple to break the oil off the palate. But two apples per bowl wasn't enough, even with the grated cheese and saltines thrown in. Live and learn.
