Oh Boy. Late night Skyline Chili with litre & BC Dick

Good evening.

Here’s the background to this tasting. You may be aware that in the past during the offseason I used to do an international snaxx post where I would get high and go to international grocery stores for stoner food. Well, I once mentioned that I would enjoy trying Skyline Chili as it’s as maligned as the Big Turk. I enjoy things like cilantro, pineapple on pizza, and this one seemed polarizing for the folks south of us so why the hell not?

In my intrepid reseacrch I learned that chugging Skyline is also a thing.

If you know Balls of Steel, he’s the nicest guy and one of the most generoUs folk here.  A while ago I said that I wanted to try Skyline chili, because how bad could it be? Then in our  snacks and booze exchanges (still eating Mexi snaxx, seriously) he included in one of the boxes 2 cans of Skyline chili. He regularly texted me about when I was going to do it….

Then, I thought that who better than to assist me with this than my BIL BC Dick?

Unluckily/luckily? LitrePug got kennel cough when I visited Az so we could not have Litrepug and Butters together this weekend. I was about to not make the journey West but BC Dick said he could have pet sitters for Butters so to come out with the family. However, we “had” to go back to Kelowna from my inlaws on Saturday to stay with him. Perfect.

Our plan is to go to some breweries and then make Skyline chili. There will be copioUs amounts of weed involved.

/Mrs. Cola is thankful that we aren’t doing this in the hometown as it could get stinky.

To the day of the chili.

We drive back to BC Dick’s house with a stop at the liquor store for some home beers. Once there his tenant came home and drove us to Brewery #1 Jackknife Brewing where we were going to start the afternoon of freedom. We ordered one of their pizzas and it easily was one of the best I have ever had in BC. After the Hair Straight back and then the very potent Hammer of Doom, we then decided to head next door to another brewery. The next place was expensive and non descript so I won’t even mention anything else. Following that, we decided to head to one of my favoUrites Vice and Virtue brewing who make The Love Potion which is a raspberry Berliner vice. Lovely on a springtime day. So lovely that we took 4 beer to go for the walk home.

It is time….

But first, a hash joint and more beers, in BC Dick’s case some whiskey too. This is where we started commenting a little bit on the Saturday Night Open Thread. We clearly were inebriated.

We were going to do this the 4 way method with cooked onions and cheddar cheese. The only additions I made were a little bit of brown sugar and garlic with the onions.

I open the can, the smell is sort of cinnamon and nutmeg. It looks like diarrhea, smells kind of nice though.

The onions are ready for the addition of the meat can.

Pasta is ready! (BC Dick said I cooked it perfectly)

We assemble. Normally both of us would add hot sauce but at 1st we wanted to taste it as is.

Folks, it’s damn good. Yes we were drunk, yes we were high but this stuff hit the spot. We ate all of it and couldn’t believe how it had been misrepresented. The only worrying part was going to be the next day because add that salty chili to a stomach full of craft beer and there could be issues.

I will say, there were none. Everything as it should be the next day and no ill effects from the salt bomb.

In closing Skyline Chili is ok by us and we plan to make chili dogs this summer when I visit BC again.

What regional specialty should I look to next? We will see each other again in July so there is time.

Keep in mind I have eaten Cow Balls, Snake, Scorpion etc.
