January 2008 Web Page www.chili.org Volume 21 Issue 1 Annual Terlingua CASI Here's Wishing All A Happy Chili Championship and Prosperous New Year A First Timer's View Terlingua, Texas

This historic chili cookoff is held annually in Terlingua, Texas, or as most people have said, the middle of nowhere. The four day celebration begins each year on Wednesday before the big weekend and culminates on Saturday with the Terlingua International Chili Championship©. A Texas chili cookoff can be as much fun as one person can stand. There’s usually so much going on it’s hard to take it all in. Besides the cookoff there’s music, contests, and other food events such as salsa, etc. That’s why these things can run 2-3 days.

Anyone and everyone comes to a Texas chili cookoff. Chili cookoffs are very popular in Texas and are a major form of family entertainment. The chili cooking teams are judged not only for the quality of their chili product but there are also competitions for presentation which can mean you get a show with the chili. Groups use themes and entertainment to get points for presentation.

The official chili sanctioning body in Texas is the Chili Appreciation Society International - CASI. CASI makes the rules. They award points to the best ten cookers and these points can qualify a team for the International Chili Championship held the first Saturday of November in the dusty ghost town of Terlingua. CASI is a not-for-profit organization and one of the best things about their events is that all proceeds from their sanctioned events You know that you’re from Texas if you hear these phrases in conversations. go to local charities. It is a great way to have good fun, good chili, and help out communities. Texas chapters of CASI are known for raising the most money for charities in the United • “Coldbeer” actually is one word States. Rumors are that Texas folk like to have a good time and do good things so that could be a reason for their extraordinary success in the area of charity donations. • “Fixinto” is one word. (as in we’re fixinto start cookin’ the chili) • “Je’eet”? is actually a phrase meaning “Did you eat?” (as in Gollee, Ja’eet that chili There is only one kind of chili recognized by CASI: Texas red. No fillers are allowed, or over thar?) as the rules state: “NO FILLERS IN CHILI such as beans, macaroni, rice, hominy, or other similar ingredients are not permitted.” Even with strict rules about content, the variations • “You measure distance in minutes.” (as in we’re 90 minutes from Abilene and need in recipes can provide a variety of taste bud delights. a place to camp cause we had too much fun at the chili cookoff and can’t drive any further.) The Terlingua Chili Cookoff can be educational as well. If you listen carefully to the conversations, you can pick up some genuine Texas phrases like the ones listed below and • “You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.” excerpted from “How to Know You are from Texas”- previously published June 2003 in life stories: Continued on Page 18
