Origins and history
Cowboy dishing up chili at noonday dinner. Cattle ranch near Marfa, Texas. Many argue that chili was invented in Mexico during the 1840s, as a replacement for pemmican; others place its origin in Tijuana, Baja California, or Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico.
The Mexican origin theory holds that it was created as a complimentary dish served at cantinas, especially to please outsiders, who wanted something spicy and "Mexican" to eat, but also free or cheap. It was made with leftovers from the meals prepared in the cantina and served for free to drinking customers.
The Americanized recipe consisted of dried beef, suet, dried chili peppers (usually chilipiquenes), and salt, which were pounded together and left to dry into bricks, which could then be boiled in pots on the trail. An alternative, and more widely-accepted theory, holds that chili con carne was born in Ensenada, Mexico in the 1880s as a way of stretching available meat in the kitchens of poor Tejanos . However, this theory does not take in account Ensenada and Texas are very far from each other.
"San Antonio Chili Stand" was in operation at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which helped spread a taste for chili to other parts of the country. San Antonio was a significant tourist destination and helped Texas-style chili con carne spread throughout the South and West.
hope this helps.

chilis are peppers. mexicans consider chili a gringo dish. it is a tex-mex recipe the early settlers concocted. (peppers will not grow in chili!) chili grows corn and coca leaves to make cocaine for gringos. the early gringos named it chili, which is just a charming coincidence.
the early settlers interacted with mexicans in texas and learned how to cook with chilis and became hooked on the spicey taste and learned that it kills parasites like tape worms etc. this "cowboy stew" is now popular around the world. tex-mex food in texas and how hot it is depends on just how much chili powder ou put in. there is 1-alarm to 5-alarm chili. Five-alarm is for the strongest cowboys.

After the pepper. Chili was and is originally made from the chili or chile pepper only. Americans have substituted tomates and tomato sauces.

Interesting play on words, my dear. However, you must look at the spellings of each before you can compare! Chilly has to do with temperature outside (which I'm sure you already know!) while "Chili" has to do with peppers, and subsequent heat! Do you have too much time on your hands?

because "chili" or CHILE is this hot mexican spice (vegetable) so when something is hot it usually has chili on it
