Tim Walz is Weird

or as donald trump would call him "a sucker and a loser".

National media: I am the only reporter in MN who has interviewed Walz about his putting chili on cinnamon rolls. I'm available for network and cable news appearances to discuss. This plays into "folksy" narratives as well as "who's the real weirdo?" ones. https://t.co/zKckAtJWcu

Hold up, Kamala, you might want to reconsider.

i could support cinnamon-flavored corn bread but that's as far as i would be willing to go.

that must be a west of the Mississippi River thing because i spent so many of my childhood years in Wisconsin and Michigan and i'd never heard of that until now!

Walz is originally from Nebraska, some Nebraskans I know are all about high levels of cinnamon in their chili and it is quite gross imho

Yeah, the article says it's more of a Great Plains thing or even specifically a northeast-Nebraska thing. We need a cinnamon roll chili map alongside the duck duck grey duck map.

cinnamon in chili makes sense as far as the overall flavor profile goes idk about high levels, a cinnamon bun right in yr chili is pretty wild does it have frosting on it how crazy are we getting here im intrigued, corn bread is often quite sweet pretty close to cake so theres that, but still the cinnabun is avant garde in comparison

i also took the initial article to mean he was putting chili flakes on a cinnamon roll and that doesn't sound all that bad tbh.

that would be a sort of mexican approach to cinnabun, not nearly depraved enough for the midwest

i put a bit of cinnamon in my chili, it's fine

For clarification, I'm not talking about a little bit of cinnamon, I mean you can taste cinnamon in this chili more than, like, chili peppers

i would absolutely eat chili over a cinnamon roll. buy one from the grocery store bakery pour a can of stagg over it, nuevo cuisine brunch baby. sounds like a good way to celebrate harris/walz winning the morning after election day.

oh my god this progressive radical madness has gone too far, now you want to take my chili and change its gender or something

thats right youll be sent to the camps until you learn to appreciate state fair food

I am from Missouri and I make a chili that relies heavily on cinnamon and brown sugar.

monsters, all of u

Hey now, no one is extolling the virtues of Cincinnati chili; that’s where the real monsters are

real monsters enjoy cleveland steamers

what about those beanless texans? what are they afraid of?

never understood that one either

I am sure everyone wants my extremely rigid and purist takes on chili, right?

yes

Beef Chuck Cubes
Homemade Chili Paste (from dried and reconstituted guajillo, ancho, etc.)
Homemade Beef Stock
~12 hours cooking time

There might be some garlic or onion in there, maybe cumin, I would have to check. No tomatoes, no beans.

The time is the most important part.

I grew up in Detroit and my relatively apolitical Facebook feed has been bombarded by Bob Seger posts.

chili o+ connamon rolls is 100% a Nebraska thing

Re: Seger.

"No tomatoes, no beans."

#fakestews #sad

sorry, i just really like beans. and some chunky tomatoes. in chili. i like all kinds of chili though. i used to go a person's backyard weekend parties partly for their veggie chili! i'd never had a better one. so, i am pretty open-minded.

I can’t bear kidney beans and use haricots (white beans) instead.

pinto/black mix for me

Pinto with beef, white with turkey

I love beans! I make a pot of beans basically every week. I just don't put them in chili.

I am making a stew this week with yellow eye beans, sweetcorn, bacon and salmon.

Sorry for thread derail.

PBKR I'll come right over when that's ready OK?

We bought a copy of Judith Barrett's Fagioli: The Bean Cuisine of Italy a couple of months ago and are gonna dive into it when the weather gets a little colder.

i love making stew. its a comforting task.

xxp, sure thing, sleeve!

Bean salads, such as with corn and tomatoes, are perfect warm weather bean recipes.

good guy Tim

Cincy chili comes from the Greeks that ran the local diners, it’s based on something else and probably the local Germans said “hey could you put ton of cheese or a hotdog” on that stuff.

I have a bad feeling this swift boat stuff is going to get worse

I don't know, it seems like all the facts are out there and pretty straightforward. People who want to trash him will trash him, but he was in the National Guard for 24 years, they can't make that go away. (Also it's not like that is his big claim to anything, it's just part of his bio.)

Way different electorate and set of circumstances than when that sh1t was levied on Kerry in 2004. Don’t see how any of these will get that much traction considering Trump.

Yeah Kerry practically made "being in the military" his whole campaign. I remember cringing when, while watching him accept the nomination at the DNC the first thing he did was he saluted and said "Reporting for Duty!" or some such.

swiftboating has started but I don't feel like it has any legs; they tried it when he ran for governor already
