Dave's question was interesting because I had always though the con carne was
the original? Con carne meaning 'with meat' makes sense yet I guess somehow
it got dropped along the way with most assuming meat was one of the essential
ingredients (along with chili pepper(s) of course). I did find that Texas
is where the dish started and beans aren't really thought of that highly in
it. Of course, the only think I know about Texas is that tv soap and the
Cowboys (I'm a Bengals fan so I guess I can stop here).

Oh good grief. So many questions today...
