Quite possibly the WORST stuff I have EVER had in ...

Quite possibly the WORST stuff I have EVER had in my entire life. I cannot even bring myself to call it food as it smelled like canned Skippy Dog food. We travel a lot and like to try the local fair wherever we go. We have had some very unusual foods and combinations over our years and miles of traveling. Some we loved and others, well, not so much. So, with our usual sense of adventure, we boldly went where no Texan should ever go, and I mean EVER. We kept an open mind because we knew from prior experience that the term "chili" can be applied liberally to many different dishes, all of which their creators insist as being "authentic". However, we do come to expect some kind of "chili" to be present in the dish. Just some, any kind, somewhere. We knew it wouldn't have that kick we love here in the South, and that was okay, but what it was was nothing like any kind of "food" any of us had ever had. It was a completely tasteless pile of something that looked a lot like what I used to clean out of the kennels of sick dogs. The grey tinged "spaghetti" only added to the macabre giving the impression of an infestation of round worms. There was no chili taste to it at all. We grimly chewed through about three forkfuls before we all gave up (we were all hungry and were hoping it might improve on us, like I said, we are adventurous). The bright side was that the cheese was a fairly good quality cheddar (not the American processed stuff I actually expected) and it was served with packaged oyster crackers, and those are pretty hard to mess up. Sorry Ohio, but your signature chili spaghetti completely defeated my hungry family, and that is a first in our over 27 years and 50,000 + miles of traveling together. I'm hoping we just came on a bad day...but it's going to take a lot to get me near any kind of chili spaghetti again, adventurous or not, my stomach staged an all out revolt on this experience.
