They?

I posted this link a couple of days ago:
http://whatscookingamerica.net/Histo...iliHistory.htm

It has little to with any overblown sense of authenticity, whatever
that may be, but with a specific dish that evolved in central Texas.
Chili with an i, not an e. It happens to be pretty good, by my
lights. Now it has evolved into other things in other places, and
people still call it chili.

I wish they woudn't.
