Yummy for the Tummy

SuperBowl Fun just wouldn't be complete without vegetarian chili. You heard me.

My cruelty-free concoction is the best in the land. Recently, I even attempted to sign-up for Steve Otto's Chili Cook-Off. Unfortunately, they define chili thusly:

"...any kind of meat, or combinations of meats, cooked with chili peppers, various other spices and other ingredients.."

I left messages with the PR folks in charge of this event and asked if I could enter the contest with tofu products instead of dead animals. They haven't called back. Probably for the best. Most men don't have the neurons to admit carcass-free can be delicious.

I have tricked many a meat lover with my chili. They always rant and rave until they see me eating it.

"What the...?" they say, "this isn't meat?"

No, baby. Your arteries will thank me later. Perhaps it's a good idea that I not blow Otto's mind with my healthy crock-pot of joy.

Behold my secret weapon:

Just a splash of Harp combined with salsa, spices, harvest crumbles and kidney beans.

Best way to eat: on top of a Tofu Pup (veggie hot dog) with mustard, relish and shredded cheese. Chili-cheese dogs for all my friends!

Yummy indeed. Go Bears.
