i made the kentucky chili with the help of Dee and her cousin Stephanie last wednesday. i was a little nervous about it - it didnt seem like it would come out too chili-ish...the ingredients included: okra, lima beans, corn, lamb, pork sausage, chicken, chipotle and ancho chilis, tomatoes, and i can't seem to remember what else and the cookbook is all the way in my kitchen and yes i really am that lazy...anyway - you serve the chili over rice and i was quite pleased at how it turned out - just the right amount of spice and despite the 3 meats it wasnt overwhelmingly meaty - and oh yeah...it had bar-b-que sauce in it - duh - that is why i liked it so much! i made it as an homage since we visited bryan's family in kentucky exactly a year ago - i was quite upset visiting because we didnt have any good ol' kentucky cooking - we went out to a chinese buffet one night, we had japanese food another night and his family out there was italian so we had italian pretty much the rest of the time...next time it will be different...i know more about kentucky cooking...i do have to say i finally spoke up and complained the last night and so they indulged me by going to cracker barrel the next morning for breakfast...i know it is like the denny's of the south, but it was GOOD! so there...
anyway - i would cook this chili again - the picture is kinda lame - you can't see the rice and the different colors, but anyway...
