hottamaly 1 #1 February 22, 2002 TEXAS CHILI - > These are notes from an inexperienced chili taster named FRANK (who's name > was changed to protect the innocent), who was visiting Texas from New > Jersey... > > "Recently I was lucky enough to be the 10,000th attendee at the State Fair > in Texas and was asked to fill in to be a judge at a chili cook-off. > Apparently the original Judge #3 called in sick at the last moment, and I > happened to be standing there when the call came in. I was assured by the > other two judges (Native Texans) that it would be a fun event and a true > taste of Texas hospitality. They assured me that the chili wouldn't be all > that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the > tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecards from the event." > =============================================================== > Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili > > JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick. > JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. > FRANK: Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried > paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. > Hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. > > =============================================================== > Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili > > JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang. > JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. > FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed > to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me > the Heimlich maneuver. They had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they > saw the look on my face. > > =============================================================== > Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili > > JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans. > JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers. > FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I > have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid > pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. > I'm getting shit-faced. > > ============================================================== > Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic > > JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. > JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or > other mild foods, not much of a chili. > FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste > it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that > 300 lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm > eating. > > ============================================================== > Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover > > JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding > considerable kick. Very impressive. > JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit > the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. > FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted > and four people behind me burst into flames. The contestant seemed offended > when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my > tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. It > really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. > Screw those rednecks! > > ============================================================== > Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety > > JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice > and peppers. > JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. > Superb. > FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric > flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I > need to wipe my ass with a snow cone! > > ============================================================== > Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili > > JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. > JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili > peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge > Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing > uncontrollably. > FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't > feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds > like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili which slid > unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my > damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've > decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any > oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole > in my stomach. > > ============================================================== > Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili > JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending.... this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, > not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. > JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor > hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, > fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself. Not sure if he'll make it. > Poor Yank.
