It’s a bit obnoxious. I make this excellent chili for family gatherings and nobody ever calls it just “chili”. They always say “vegan chili”.

The other day I made some pumpkin bread. When me and my dad went over to my grandmas house, we brought it. My dad announced “She made some vegan pumpkin bread!”. Grandma knows I am vegan. So of course if I made it, it will be vegan, no need to state that.

I know this is a really stupid pet peeve that will probably get me downvoted to oblivion, but idk. Maybe someone here also gets it.

    Chilli con carne is meat based. Traditionally chilli is beans.

      “Chili” is a pepper. Chili con carne is the traditional dish. There’s no dish called “chili”. The version without meat is an adaptation that came later.

      “Traditional” depends on where you’re from. If OP’s family is from the US South, they probably consider traditional chili to be chili con carne.
