Authentic Cincinnati Chili
Cincinnati chili is a unique type of chili that's flavored with not just chili powder but lots of other spices, including cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. This recipe was handed down to me by Mom, a Cincinnati native. I like mine 4-way, with spaghetti, raw chopped onions, and grated mild Cheddar. Serve oyster crackers on the side.
Barbequed Pineapple
Barbecued, marinated pineapple! Serve in a bowl or a banana boat with pineapple on either side, a scoop of ice cream or two on top, and drizzled with the remaining marinade glaze.
