Chili con carne is French. The name is a corruption of "Chili Concarneau," after the French port town where it was invented.

BULL FEATHERS!! !! !

The dish called "Chili" is named after the nation of its origin: Chile.

That insanely long narrow republic in South America.

And the variant of chili called "con Carne" is named after the chef who invented that variation: the American Conner Carny, who just happens to have been the father of the Art Carny (the actor who played the sidekick of Jackie Gleason in the Honey Mooners).

Chile Con Carny.

Hey hey hey! Ralphie boy! :D

Magz is the worst moderator on this forum.
Her views on many things discussed on this forum don't appeal to me.

I collect horses. I have most of them. That's why you don't see many horses these days.

I am disappointed that the rain today is keeping people from mowing their lawns and doing other noisy yardwork, I quite enjoyed the ceaseless symphony of machines the past few days. Especially delightful that there was no time between any of it, it was a delight to listen to the rise and fall (but never quiet because by the time anyone finished, someone else had started) all day.

My ravenous kitten didn't eat spinach and raspberries, because she's a very picky eater.

You know how Malaysia is in two widely-seperated parts? That's my fault. I was fiddling around with it and it just snapped. I'm so sorry.
