Poll: Utensils for chili

[PolishDeli]

This is obviously a very important matter. It's even causing problems at home during family dinners:
What is the correct utensil for eating a bowl of chili? Fork or spoon?
Take the poll

 

[SmokinAl]

Who the heck would eat chili with a fork?
Al

 

[chilerelleno]

The correct answer isn't available in the poll.

A spoon and a stack of hot corn tortillas.

Tortillas are utensils as much to Mexicans as a hunk of crusty bread is to an Italian.

 

[CFLJOHN512]

Always a spoon.

 

[Bearcarver]

I want some of that Chili that can be eaten with a Fork!!!

Meanwhile I'll keep using a Spoon for mine.

If you're eating chile with a fork, you're eating a casserole, not a chile.

 

[GATOR240]

Always a spoon, but I like chili that you could eat with a fork.
Gotta have cornbread!!

 

[2Mac]

Always a spoon, but I like chili that you could eat with a fork.

I second this thought !

 

[SmokinGame]

I have seem some of the "Cincinnati" chili with enough pasta in it so that you might use a fork. But it is spoon for MY chili.

 

[chef jimmyj]

I have to agree with This guy.^^^^^^^^^^^;
Texas Red, Spoon. Cincinnati 5 Way, a Fork....JJ

 

[chilerelleno]

Oh c'mon now, Cincinnati style isn't chile, it's pasta with meat sauce.

 

[bbqbrett]

Sometimes I eat it with a spoon but other times I will scoop it up with tortilla chips.

 

[zwiller]

Another one missing: spork for Wendy's chili.

Heck yeah, fork for Cinci 5 way + hot sauce is 90% of the way we eat "chili".

 

[Inscrutable]

I use a spoon as I also add beans and often using ground meat ... but if all meat Texas style it’s thick and chunky so could definitely use a fork (and corn bread to sop up the sauce)

 

[normanaj]

Like with any food I use my mouth!

 

[HalfSmoked]

Yup a spoon and here Chilerelleno here and in the south its with corn bread.

That's easy neither. Everyone knows it's Chop Sticks!!!

If you're eating chile with a fork, you're eating a casserole, not a chile.

Disagree totally. If your using ground beef then your eating hot dog sauce. Chili is made with chunks of chuck meat. Cornbread and a fork are the correct utensils.
