<p>Thanks for writing in VLM.<p>No one in this comment thread made any claim of any recipe or particular chili recipe being "good".<p>Your summary is confusing to me, because whatever the "normie middle of the road" idea we are supposedly now discussing does not have anything to do with what I said or had asked questions about.</p>

<p>Can you help me corroborate your theory of historically accurate chili? I can not find any document supporting your "thousands of years" claim.<p>It not hard to believe that native people dumped some of the earth's best vegetables into a pot and let them steep, but, I can not find _any_ support for your claim.<p>I genuinely hope you enjoy your historically-accurate, bean-laden chili, but now I am suspicious; I know that LLMs can not really enjoy the richness in any chili.</p>
