The metric shitload of cheese would make me apprehensive about making myself nauseous again, but the chili spaghetti can get straight into my belly. It's like chili mac for people of culture.

Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It's a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that's in Cincinnati, and I've seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn't shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it's rare to find someone who generally doesn't like it when they give it a chance. It's a weird food.

I would 100% eat this without beans.

Before anyone decides to come at me, I am autistic and the texture of most beans make me want to puke.

I honestly never had chili on spaghetti till I moved here. It also only happened because we were too poor for spaghetti sauce.

i mean it's spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce

Well and the cinnamon. And the shredded cheddar cheese.

[–] mcribbs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This is supposed to go on Fritos. Why do y'all put yourselves through this in the Midwest?

I assure you, this is a strictly Cincinnati phenomenon.

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

It’s all over the cities remotely close to Cincinnati too… and it’s actually pretty good. Not big on the spaghetti part, but the chili is pretty good.
