I have tried this chili and like it very much. Just add a little more spices to your likeing, whats the big problem!!!!!! He made this in COLLEGE!!!!!!!! I think its great that he could cook in college. What did you people eat in college, (the ones that went)maccaroni & cheese, & hot dogs. And get over the fact he is the our next "PRESIDENT" God Bless him.
I loved the chili! We had an election night party with blue corn chips, blue napkins, Obama's chili, Blue Moon beer, and blueberry pie for dessert. Life was good.
Last time I check,the title says Barack Obama Chili. It does not say Tom, Billy or Ashley chili recipe. That means President Obama is sharing his personal recipe and letting you know what works for him, Not how it is done in LA or Texas. If you like it, you like, and if you don't... well you just don't.
Anyway, what is up with Sarah Palin saving the country? I believe God saves the country.
I used a can of tomatoes and probably should have drained them. It was still quite good. Needed salt and pepper and should have been simmered at least an hour. Some may want to substitute jalapeno for some of the green pepper. Figuring on an Inauguration Chili Party.
I decided to make mine with bison meat and it turned out awesome!
I'd really just prefer to talk about the chili - no matter whose name is in front of it. i plan on making this for our monday night football party- sounds pretty darn good.
The recipe sounds good and I'll try it the next cold day we get. I voted for Mr. Obama and now feel that we have hope, not only in our country, but in the world.
I did not vote for him because of the party he represents; nor did I vote against him because of the color of his skin. I voted for him because he is obviously highly intelligent, level, calm, thoughtful, and I thought those qualities in our leader would be the most refreshing change that will come about with the change in administrations. It hurt my feelings for him to refer to himself as a "mut". He is far from that.
Being a Texan close to the Mexico, all I can say about this receipe is that it is enough to gag a maggot. Real chili is made from beef with fresh chili pepper pulp, cumin, onion, garlic and red pepper. (NO BEANS). Served with fresh Jalapinos.
TURKEY in the recipe proves that this is NO CHILI RECIPE!!! Just as Obama is a poor candidate for President, this is a totally poor candidate for chili! TURKEY!?! OMG!!!
Is this about chili at all?
People please...it's just a recipe. Call it stew if you prefer, this person calls it chili. Why so angry? It's just a name. As for the politics, unless I am mistaken we live in a democracy and the election of our President is part of that right. We have a choice, we voice that choice by the very rights we are given. Let's try living in a place like Haiti or one of the many countries where there are NO CHOICES, then let's hear some complaining. Till then, it was fair, square and legal. Not everyone will be happy, not everyone will get what they want. It's part of living in a place where at least there ARE choices. Just like recipes....everyone has a favorite and we don't always like someone else's. So try the recipe or don't, just another CHOICE.
Thoughtful of our next Prez to share his recipe.....it was excellent....not 5 alarm, but excellent! For those of you that are not in favor of our new Prez, go eat a bucket of your own 5 alarm chilli and lock yourselves in the bathroom.....it is about the only respectible place for you!!!!!!!!! The man has not even taken office yet, but is working his butt off to try to fix the pile of crap that he is walking into.....ya gotta give him credit for even wanting this God forsaken job......I have total faith in him and wish him best of luck and lots of support for a rough road ahead.....GoBama!!!!! YES WE CAN!!! YES YOU CAN!!!! And thank you and God Bless!!!
Being Canadian, I would like to comment on ALL of political comment blogs. This is just a receipe, get it ? just a receipe. If you don't like the ingredients, change it to your own liking by adding your own ingredients, but please do not add your political comments about a man who simply has a receipe to share with you. What in heavens do you people complain so much and why. It is JUST a receipe, if you have tried it, then comment on it, don't debate of where it came from, your president is just a man with a job to do, help him with positive comments, again, he is just sharing his receipe with you. ITs just a RECEIPE.
This recipe is a lot of talk about nothing..... Just because you can talk a lot about nothing doesn't mean you can cook chili. Sara Palin please come and save this country!!!
Looks good til I see The beans. I use canned tomatoes. As for you political types, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
THIS recipe needs change!
This chili is awesome people.....
when you finish making the chili the libs come to your house, take your chili,and give it to those who neither paid for the ingredients nor helped make it.
Isn't this blog about diets and chili?
EXTREMELY BOARING!!!!!!!!!! No green peppers, chilis, beer or wild game burger.
