There are many "trsaditional" ways to serve chilli.

1-Way: Just chilli in a bowl/plate.

Cincinatti chilli's ways are formalised. And the Greek influenced chilli
has cinnamon and allspice as well as chocolate. I use cinnamon and some
'chocolate in my chilli - but not in as "forward" quantity as Cincy. I
find that the cinnamon and chocolate help the other flavours to blend.

2-Way: Chilli served over spaghetti.

3-Way: Chilli served over spaghetti w/shredded Cheddar cheese.

4-Way: Chilli served over spaghetti w/diced raw onions and shredded
Cheddar cheese.

5-Way: Chilli served over spaghetti w/warmed canned red kor pinto beans,
diced raw onions, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
