Best Chili Poems

Fresh peppers, onions sauteed
Lean, lean ground beef browned

I've slurped chili from border-to-border and betwixt the roilin' seas,
In fancy five-star establishments and greasy spoon eateries.
I've sampled some that has caused anxious gastrointestinal uproar,

not knowing its the

as its about to set off an alarm,
when you take your

Two old guys who won ribbons each year
made a bet as the contest drew near:
If just one of them placed,

I love my own chili,
I know it sounds silly,
heat in pot
nice and hot
it is truly a dilly.

I do, you big oaf.
After all, this sugary 
brown sugar ketchup...

Hot food for comfort in Winter’s the best; soups birthed and thickened with cream.

that's my wife's business,
he will make it for you, not tomato sauce but grated coconut sauce which is fried without oil wrapped in banana leaves like pepes.
