It is clear that she doesn't know what "con carne" means. Perhaps she just thinks that is the name of the dish and didn't bother to learn the meaning.

It is a stupid error for a TV chef to make.

with meat.

"Con Carne" is spanish for "with beef".

With Meat

Vegetarian chilli is usually sin carne (without meat)

The literal meaning of "Con Carne" is with meat. There is a Mexican dish called "Chile' Con Carne" and it is a meat with Chili. I hope this helps!

It mean to flame broil a type of meat traditionally, and then spice it, but the food network and other people have changed the meaning of so many things.

with meat

Con carne means with beef.

With Meat

how do you make a vegetarian "chilli with meat" I guess just beans and vegetables like corn, celery, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chilli powder, hot sauce (a must), onion whatever you like.

Con carne means with meat.

Must be using quorn or other meat substitute instead of meat.

It should be called chilli con 'whatever'!

Con Carne is With Beef. Use the same recipe but if it calls for a stock, use vegetable and no meat. Vegetarian!

It's chilli with beef.

The history of chili con carne goes back to a time when people of slender means would add a little meat to their beans (chili beans) rather than have beans with their meat, as so many more opulent people do nowadays. http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/C...

Talking about vegetarian chili con carne puts me in mind of one of my sons asking if he could have "fish and chips without the fish". It is linguistic nonsense, but the idea is that one proceeds in the same way as for chili con carne, but substituting extra vegetables for the meat content. What else could she have said, to be fair to the woman? Vegetable chili would bemuse the listener, as chili is a vegetable. Chili hot pot would sound quite good and perhaps less misleading.

There are three vegetarian recipes here. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Ch...

Should be Chilli sin carne I think!
I sometimes make veggie chilli with red and green peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, chilli, red wine, sundried tomato paste and some bulgar wheat (to bulk it out a bit). It's very good.

Chili con carne, often known simply as chili, is a spicy stew-like dish. The essential ingredients are chili peppers and meat. Variations, either geographic or by personal preference, may include tomatoes, onions, beans, and other ingredients. The name "chili con carne" is a slight corruption of the Spanish chile con carne, which means "chile (peppers) with meat". Chili con carne is the official dish of the U.S. state of Texas

Vegetarian chili
Vegetarian chilis acquired wide popularity in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s with the rise of the vegetarian philosophy, and is also popular with those on diets which restrict red meat. To make a chili vegetarian, the meat is left out of the recipe or replaced with a meat analogue such as textured vegetable protein or tofu. Some people consider vegetarian chili to be a spicy vegetable stew, and not true chili.

Vegan Chili
This is a kind of chili that needs no meat (and uses no ersatz meat). Molasses gives this chili a somewhat Louisiana flavor.
Bean Chili
This chili recipe, which is also vegan, uses kidney beans, red and green bell peppers, and chili powder.
Black Bean Chili
This vegetarian chili uses black beans.

It basically comes from the spanish "with meat" so chilli con carne is chilli peppers with meat.
