Chili and Cinnamon Roll? Midwest Thing? (2 Viewers)

Gonna have to try it. The spicy and sweet sound like they'd pop together.

That was my thought too. And was sort of surprised to see so much negative for it.

Sweet and Spicy can be great.

Lots of chili will have an element of chocolate in it.

Seemed to make sense to me. But I'd never heard of it.

To me, it's not a problem with "spicy & sweet". It's more a problem with "meat & frosting/icing/glaze". Or "beans & frosting/icing/glaze" if it's veggie chili.

An un-iced cinnamon roll would be unusual to my palate, but probably taste fine dipped in chili. Similar with sweet cornbread, brioche, sweet "school" yeast rolls, etc. Cinnamon-raisin toast would probably be fine with chili, as well.

But, say, a glazed donut? Birthday cake? A Ding Dong?

I'm from Cheyenne and cinnamon rolls with chili was absolutely a staple growing up. It was the only good food they had for school lunches - no one brought bagged lunch on chili day.

I love this. Nostalgia rules.

Cincinnati puts cinnamon in chili, and it’s awful. If you’re going to eat something sweet with chili, use Jiffy cornbread

your face is awful

Cincinnati chili is glorious.

Yea, nothing wrong with cinnamon and cumin and whatever else spice you like. The cinnamon roll thing is weird as can be though

Hey, let’s keep it PG here, dawg.

Never heard of it but would try it - love chili, love cinnamon rolls- sounds like a good combo.
