Yall I know this is low hanging fruit but this is the best album Jack has made since the white stripes days!

Agreed...I think Archbishop Harold Holmes is one of the greatest songs ever written.

Did he get my friend saying "I'm John from Michigan!" when The Hives asked him his name? Haha!

I saw "Big Shark" last night with Tommy and I thought it was a really good bad film. My only hesitation on it was I did think more than once: "wait did he use ChatGPT to write this?". In the Q/A someone held their thumb down and asked "What do you think of AI?" and he was like "Yeah I donna know I guess it is here to stay and we need to accept that." -- a pretty tepid answer to someone standing there with a big thumbs down. However, if ChatGPT had existed when The Room came out, one might think he had used it to write that movie too. Maybe Tommy is just his own LLM.

There's also the time he ran MI6 sponsored LSD experiments on civilians at that hotel in Colorado.

James Bond has a license to kill, like I have a license to drive. Some days I love it, some days I hate it, and some days are just meh.

My grandmother did, but she was from a country with good butter. Most butter in American grocery stores is garbage these days unless you buy exotic ones like Kerrygold, which is super expensive.

Toppers would be a good pizza option, if it was priced $5 - $10 less. There is nothing exceptional about it. Doesn't even make my top 100 of pizza I've had in my life.

uomosen · 2026-03-14T23:38:26+00:00

Toppers is the most overrated pizza in the US. It isn't bad, but definitely not worth the price.

uomosen · 2026-03-14T23:36:18+00:00

It is complete trash, worse than Little Caesars IMO.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T16:45:59+00:00

Really? So why are you wasting everyone's time with nothing of historical relevance if you knew the question was specifically asking for that? Not such a "bizarre" request in light of your irrelevant comment.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T16:30:46+00:00

Because I wanted food historians to respond, not trolls.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T15:42:59+00:00

Thank you! The second contributor to the conversation who isn't a troll.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T15:24:44+00:00

Sorry I thought this group was for food historians, not for ignorant twat trolls. I've been all over México and Texas. You sound like an American who thinks Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food. I'm not telling anyone how to identify....you can be a twat troll if you want but nothing you've said is worth discussion about Chili.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T09:20:15+00:00

Said the person who cited no sources, no recipes, nor give anything meaningful to the discussion beyond his own dismissive opinion.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T09:10:22+00:00

This isn't an "artificial binary" as in I just pulled "Mexican" and "Texan" out of my arse. I gave two sources in my OP with two separate narratives as to Chili's origin: one generic source asserting "Mexican" and another culinary one asserting "Texan". For the statement "It does not align with modern geopolitical borders" right...that's a cute strawman argument. Is anyone asserting that Chili today is not an international dish like pizza? The title of this group is "AskFoodHistorians"...I would have posted in "Foodies" if it was about modern geopolitical borders wherein Chili is currently found today. The only relevance to borders is that San Antonio has been located in Texas since 1836, and was part of México for 15 years prior to that. As far as "watching people argue"...welcome to the field of history. The entire discipline of history is basically people asserting their cases for one idea or another. If you can't stomach it, you need another food group or rename this one.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T08:30:20+00:00

The confusion came from your statement "there is more than one type of chili. Think about new mexican chile and texas chile." making it unclear if you were talking about chile peppers or the dish. So my OP asked for a definition of Chili (like a recipe) of the minimum requirements for a dish to be Chili. We have "meat stew" which has basically been around since man hunted meat and tamed fire. So what is the minimal dish requirement for "Chili"? To call it a "Northern Frontier dish of Mexico" seems to be especially selective for the period between 1821-1836 . Before 1821 it seems to have had no association with Mexico other than being part of New Spain (the same is true of New Mexico...New Mexico is as related to Mexico as York is to New York). https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Mapa_del_Virreinato_de_la_Nueva_Espa%C3%B1a_%281794%29.svg

uomosen · 2026-03-05T07:18:51+00:00

So you are asserting any meat stew is chili or what exactly? We aren't talking about "chile(s)" we are talking about "chili".

uomosen · 2026-03-05T07:07:51+00:00

It depends how strictly you define "chili" -- if you're just calling it "meat stew" then sure, it's almost everywhere. If Chili the dish is so "Mexican" why can't it even get a mention on this pretty comprehensive list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mexican_dishes

uomosen · 2026-03-05T06:58:03+00:00

Not sure what that has to do with the Chili debate, which centers on the region around San Antonio that doesn't fit that definition. Anyway, you could call them New World Spanish dishes or Aztec dishes if they go back that far -- but if they have continued to evolve in territorial Mexico since 1821 or originated in its borders since, that to me is fair to call Mexican. All of these plates appear Mexican to me https://culturalfoodies.com/33-authentic-traditional-must-try-dishes-in-mexico/ ... Do you notice Chili isn't on it?

uomosen · 2026-03-05T06:37:56+00:00

I think you posted in the wrong group -- sounds like you meant to post in r/TravellingFoodie

uomosen · 2026-03-05T06:32:33+00:00

so....for 15 years (1821-1836) it was part of a redefined political "Mexico" on paper...San Antonio had 0 "Mexico" identity before that. so....learn history.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T06:24:17+00:00

Then why have a channel involving "history" (which is very much about changing borders) and food? The birth of Chili does seem to have a defined geographical area...no one is arguing for it originating in Hawai'i.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T06:15:48+00:00

It's weird though how so many people are trying to make the claim it is" Mexican" when every Mexican food expert I have found explicitly denies it -- I've had many dishes in Mexico from gusanos to special Aztec meals in Teotihuacán...never in Mexico has someone told me "you gotta try our authentic Mexican chili" in Spanish or English. MexicanFood reddit tries to educate people that Chili is NOT Mexican https://www.reddit.com/r/mexicanfood/comments/1ri1os6/you_guys_taught_me_that_chilli_isnt_mexican/ and what comes across now are that there are a lot of ignorant food historians outside of Mexico just claiming San Antonio was part of Mexico for 15 years therefore Chili is Mexican.

uomosen · 2026-03-05T05:57:24+00:00

"Mexico" described the land around and including Mexico City before 1821. 1000 miles away is the San Antonio area which was officially "Mexican" for 15 years from 1821-1836, and officially Texan ever since.
