I don't harbor any delusions that it's "authentic," whatever that means. I offer it as an explanation for the red dish cooked here in Texas. A dish that has been defined as: "detestable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York."
The point is that there is a dish that evolved in central Texas at a certain time in the 1800s, a dish that was called chili. With an "i," not an "e." Other things evolved out of it later, and they are sometimes called chili.
I wish they weren't.
