    Beaver would be good. I've had it with "Cajun chicken" aka nutria.

    Chili without meat is not chili, just a good enchilada sauce. I use a chili w/o the packaged mix, just use 3 tbs of chili, 1 tbs garlic pdw, 1 tsp cumin, onions, bell peppers, and a small can of mild rotel. I also use 1-1/2 pounds of meat. My wife can't take any heat. My bowl has about a heaping tsp in it.

    I was just going to suggest that if you didn't have a beaver a nice Nutria makes a a good chili .

    Save the tail and get your $6.00 bounty ... it's a Win - Win situation .

    How you know about Nutria and Cajun eating ... Louisiana boy by birth or by marriage or maybe you come in the back door ?

    A buddy in my unit was Cajun-French and introduced me to mud bugs, and such. He made sure I passed a check-ride making red beans and rice as part of my survival training. Found out later you could do Asian cane rats the same way and with enough Tabasco and garlic nobody knew!

    Chili contest rules state that the only thing recognizable in the chili is to be the meat. I think that narrows it down pretty well. Chili contest cooks use powdered everything- onion, chili powder, garlic and all of the other seasonings.

    Awesome story !
    Mud-bugs , red beans & rice , nutria , cane rats ( and squirrels) Tabasco , garlic ...all that makes you Cajun at heart ... Your Buddy did it , the Cajun rubs off ... you get it on you and it hard to wash off .

    Chili without meat is not chili. It’s just beans!
