Ahh, Skyline Chili from Publix
 

What's not to like about Skyline Chili on spaghetti, with shredded cheddar, and onions? Thank you Publix for carrying this lovely food in the freezer section. Not many things ring my bell from my time at Univ of Cincinnati in the 60's, but Skyline and LaRosa's Pizza do it for me.

I would have never thought to look for that in the freezer section, thanks for the tip. I will have to pick some up.

Another Cincinnati favorite...Graeters ice cream available at Walmart on 466.

Love it. Can do without Graeters Ice Cream. When we go home we also bring back canned Mock Turtle Soup and Goetta.

Walmart also carries this chili.

Just picked up a package today. Haven't tried it yet. But, the only problem is that a 13.25 OZ package contains 2,120 MG of sodium. Why does almost everything frozen or canned need to have so much sodium?

During our time here in Ohio during Thanksgiving we had some pizza from LaRossa's. Some of the best pizza I've ever had.

That is a lot. Usually sodium is listed as amount per serving, not per package which makes it a really a lot.

It is listed as 1,060 MG per serving, which is half a package, but half of the package looks like a very small serving.

Most people have it ONCE in AWHILE.

I just picked one up at Publix today. My husband loves making his own chili so it will be interesting to see if he likes it.

I agree. Chili on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Pizza on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday, I eat whatever I want.

I split the serving making two portions. 2nd portion, today, went for a out of sight chili dog. So guess that's a double sodium hit all at once, but it was good (and I skipped the bun, so that helped).

I'm willing to give that a go! Are the canned and frozen versions about the same, or is one superior? It costs about 3 times the Great Value brand of the same size.

On our departure from Ohio yesterday my last stop was to go " Krogering " to bring back some Yoder's brand corn meal mush, my breakfast favorite.

So, I thawed out the 13.25 ounce package of Skyline chili in the refrigerator overnight. Heated it a saucepan with a 15 ounce can of "no salt added" pinto beans (drained and rinsed), and a half cup of chopped onion. I give it a 4 out of 5 star rating.

As a native Cincinnatian, and UC grad (where I used to work at La Rosa's), I approve this message.

Lived in Cincinnati 25 years. The local chili is an " acquired " taste. I always liked Gold Star better then Skyline. A three way with a Coney on the side.

Warning - If you are from the Northeast this is not chili as we know it. I purchased it today and threw it down the sink this evening. It is just liquid, spicy and salty .... oh my god is it salty. I could not even bring myself to put it over pasta.

Ron White said, of Cincinnati Chili, "A Mexican can make better chili with an onion and a goat."

Ugh
 

I was in Cincinnati on business with 3 people from NJ. One bite each threw it out and went to another restaurant. It was awful!

Chili and ice cream or dairy products don’t set well with me:shocked: things start rumbling:1rotfl:

My wife makes mush, not big fan, it will eat it. Living with my grandda and being poor we had lot of mush, beans, squirrels, and rabbits I shot. Couldn’t stand wild duck or goose. Summer months we ate everything we growed.

Guess you just didn't realize how high the sodium was in most of the food they serve at their restaurants ! It is not just their frozen product.

This might work but then if I'm going to do this I may as well go all the way and make it all from scratch.

Well, I guess I haven't acquired it yet. I am eating the Skyline as I write this and I really wanted to like it.

1. Yes it is very salty. Generally we like spicy foods so I was able to tolerate it but just barely.

2. Consistency --it seemed more like a mushy soup than chili -- our chile usually has the consistency of, say perhaps, sloppy joe's -- not so soupy -- you cannot eat this with a fork -- it requires a spoon.

3. It did have a little heat "kick" to it - perhaps it was the paprika - which I did not mind.

4. I tasted a strong flavor of either 5-spice or Chinese All-spice, two flavors I don't care for.

5. I will not be buying this ever again.

I would assume people making it at home knows you add meat to this chili and not just pour it on the spaghetti. My brother makes it with sausage and hamburger.

And the meat is boiled.

It's been 3.5 hours since I ate this and I am still drinking -- I cannot get rid of my thirst.

My mom always said if you can't say something nice ... but I'm finding it difficult to heed her advice. Not only was it a complete waste of 500 calories but I don't like the aftertaste that seems to be lingering in my mouth.


Did I say I will not be buying this ever again?

Chocolate and Cinnamon. Just like Dewars, it isn't for everyone.

I'll mark you down as undecided on the Skyline chili.

It could be our DNA -- seriously -- see my post on Cilantro

Let's be fair. Cincinnati is the home obviously of " Cincinnati Chili " , Goetta and Mock Turtle Soup. Not to my taste, but I was not raised with them. In the Philadelphia area I was hard pressed to have someone share with me the great tastes of Scrapple, Snapping Turtle and Philadelphia Pepper pot soup and Shad and Roe. I never figured out the attraction of Rocky Mountain Oysters in Denver or Abalone on the West Coast. Most of us would never take to Menudo which I happen to think is one of the finest dishes ever to be exported from Mexico. My wife is from Wisconsin and scarfs down smoked whitefish like it is going extinct tomorrow along with jellied beef loaf and summer sausage. Creole and Cajun cuisines while genuinely delicious have a few dishes that some of us might not relish. The message is, try it, if you do not like it, do not try it again. There is always something else which can be eaten which you might find to be heaven on a plate.

No, brown the meat first then add the skyline chili. :mmmm:

Thank you for your unselfish sacrifice for the rest of us... who were thinking of trying it.


I'll pass. :D
