Had an old block of tofu that needed to be used. Crumbling up tofu by hand is so much more satisfying than breaking up ground beef in a pan. I tossed it in double fermented soy sauce and squid brand fish sauce and baked it at 350F until it browned. The beans were kidney, black, garbanzo, and some tiny guys called “rice beans”


Generally-speaking I would call it vegan or vegetarian chili. I wouldn’t try to deliberately fool anyone, as that would be pretty devious IMO.
I would still put that in the category of saying “vegan chicken nuggets”, an aspirational title more than a descriptive one. But you do you.
Hoss… I literally just told you that I do that.
Me saying that it was my personal belief that beans didn’t belong in chili didn’t stop you from posting your opinion, why should what you say stop me from posting mine?
