    Skyline “chili” is already a food crime. Absolutely atrocious abomination that could only come from the slime pits of Ohio.

      Are you from Texas? I’ve noticed Texans tend to have much stronger opinions on chili than most people. I thought it was pretty decent as a chili “sauce” on their hot dogs. I think they gave me a sample on the spaghetti also; conceptually it was weird to me to put chili on spaghetti but in practice it seemed more like a meat sauce. Not like a chili that’s like it’s meal (edit: chili con carne was the term I was looking for).

        I’m not from Texas, but all over. I’ve spent a significant amount of time in the west, however. Now, I concede I haven’t had it on a dog (glizzy for my locals), I had it presented as a bowl of chili. When you expect chili, you can’t just spring whatever that is on people.

          Oh yeah, if you went into it expecting chili con carne and got something closer to a bolognese that would be a problem. I told the guy at Skyline I was a tourist and asked what it was so he gave me a bit of an explanation and some samples before I bought anything.

      Coworkers bought and tried it today. I think the crackers give a bit of texture and saltiness to the sweet ice cream. My coworkers said it wasn’t bad, kind of tastes like salted pumpkin spice. Which makes sense because skyline chili isn’t real chili. I have long called it pumpkin spice meat sauce (very much not a fan, myself). And apparently the ice cream is just made with the spices from the chili. I looked up the nutrition facts and in addition to the normal ice cream ingredients, it only lists crackers and “spices”, not like meat and tomato. So it’ll have clove, cinnamon, all-spice, and probably a couple other flavors in there that skyline inexplicably puts in their chili. That honestly sounds pretty good on paper for ice cream. Now that is unless the also put chili powder or cumin in there… that would probably get pretty weird pretty fast.
