it's not a noticeable taste of vinegar, just a muted note. i use a

hard to say, but some folks here who obviously like good food have
occasional kraft cravings. but who knows how tyrannical the young
daughters are (although i suspect they get over on dad more than mom).

Your points are all valid, but my comment was simply a response to how
the word "elitist" has morphed into something negative. As far as I'm
concerned, Mr. Obama should eat whatever he likes because he enjoys it,
without worrying about whether or not his choices will be deemed by
anyone to be lowbrow, highbrow, or somewhere in between.

By now, I both made and tried this. I really LIKED the vinegar.
I didn't like the extra cumin and ended up adding ancho powder to
compensate. Among other changes. Worth a repeat.

I like to put more of everything, but I've never tried (or even heard
of) vinegar. So, for those of us who don't measure... just a
"splash"? I prefer cider, does it require white vinegar?

One splash. Red wine vinegar. Sometimes I use leftover red wine,
several splashes.

I made chili on Tuesday. Couldn't find any red wine vinegar, so I used
white wine vinegar.

The recipe contains 3 Tbsps of red wine vinegar. I, too, had
never heard of vinegar in chili, but it was great. The turmeric
added a nice color too....

Heh! I was making the recipe and found I had almost NO red wine
vinegar. I had to augment it with a more esoteric RWV.

i use cider vinegar. i think it has a more pleasant, less harsh taste.
but then i usually use cider or rice vinegar (in different things, of
course).

i did buy a big bottle of white to use in cleaning things, but strangely
enough, it is unopened after about a year. i wonder why that is?

Purists would probably disagree. But I think in terms of two
categories, one being more "authentic" and the other being the
sort you mention.

White vinegar is great for washing ceramic tile floors. my wife uses
red wine vinegar for salad dressing and I use it in a dish with Dijon
mustard and mango chutney for chicken breasts, onion an red peppers. I
use apple cider vinegar to make cilantro apricot chutney.

Apple cider vinegar is also a great remedy for stomach ailments. When
everything else has failed, knock back an tablespoon of that stuff and
you will start feeling better in minutes. I confess to having trouble
swallowing straight vinegar, but if I am desperate enough I can force
myself.

i've heard of this, or as a general 'health tonic.' what kind of
ailments? it doesn't sound like it would do much for 'sour stomach.'

a plausible argument for 'authenticity' can be made for some dishes, but
'chili' is so generic - and so rife with contention - that it's probably
not worth worrying about. just don't make it with canned pork and beans is
all i ask.

My daughter claims balsamic vinegar wards off ailments.
Therefore, she will drink a shot glass of it when her school chums
have been hacking all over her.

You might be surprised. The first time I had it I had been suffering
from "stomach flu", puking, nausea and the trots for days. Nothing I
tried provided any relief. I finally agreed to try my whacko health food
fanatic sister in law's advice. I poured some in a shot glass, held my
nose and knocked it back, fulling expecting it to come flying right
back. I was not only surprised that I was able to hold it down, but
withing minutes I was feeling better.
