	1) Many years ago, I was helping with Chili Night, as were many others, under the BFT ("Big F*****g Tent") at Pennsic. I can't remember who was the cook, unfortunately. What I do remember is that they were unable to get crushed or diced tomatoes in the large cans, so they bought peeled whole tomatoes in the large cans. These tomatoes needed a-squishing. Me and a couple others, I BELIEVE one was Sir Syf (Elzasif), were gleefully squishing away. Up walks [[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair], who, upon seeing the fun that we were having, volunteered to help. Before we could give warning, Donnchadh grabs a tomato, holds it about eye level, and squeezes. SPLATTT! Tomato seeds and pulp all over everyone's faces. "IN THE BUCKET" we say!! Good times.<BR>		1) Many years ago, I was helping with Chili Night, as were many others, under the BFT ("Big F*****g Tent") at Pennsic. I can't remember who was the cook, unfortunately.

	2) Another, also at Pennsic. This was JUST before the serving opened, but there was a commanders meeting (?) or royal gathering being hosted in camp. Many Royals were there. One, was His Majesty Kurn O'Farrell of Ulster (Trimaris). I was helping ask the Royals and entourage what they might want, and was informed that King Kurn was a vegetarian, who didn't eat beans, so, if we had something, he would like it. I went to [[Charles the Grey of Mooneschadowe]], who was cooking the chili, and asked if he had anything that might work. Charles, who is amazing, made a meat-less, bean-less "chili" concoction with mushrooms and tomatoes and other veggies, which I presented to His Majesty, who was VERY thankful. Me, thinking we had basically worked a miracle, was so proud of us (mostly Charles). Then, upon clean-up, I disposed of a mostly full bowl of "chili" under a chair where this meeting had happened. I have been told since that Kurn doesn't like mushrooms. You win some, you lose some. :D		2) Another, also at Pennsic.

==The Origins==
His Grace, [[Kein MacEwan]] remembers: 
"I lived in the East Kingdom in 1986 and 1987. In 1988, I went to Pennsic and I camped with the people that I knew in the East instead of the Ansteorrans. On Wednesday night I made chili for my household and any guests they might invite. It was about 40 people. 
 
In 1989, I camped with Ansteorra. On Wednesday night, I made chili for the Ansteorran encampment and invited my old Eastern household, the Von Halsterns, to join us. Some other people joined as well. Maybe 75 people. 
 
In 1990, I made chili and we started inviting everyone. My recipe that year was for 150 people. 
 
I made chili every Wednesday night at Pennsic (and at TFYC) until I was King in 1993. By then we were feeding 500. When I was king, [[William the Bear]] and [[Finn Kelly O'Donnell|Finn Kelly]] took on the job for me. I think I made chili at least once more between my reigns, but by then the tradition was firmly established. I only made chili once at Gulf Wars. But the tradition was taken up by others and I am very pleased to have started this particular Ansteorran tradition."
