you know what. im gonna text him about it! i want chili con carne now!! !
its not very common here tho, so i think the plant, unless "con carne" is added
of course, i begun assuming that you were all talking about some dish Chilli con carne is not really Peruvian. Then again if the Mexicans try to steal ceviche than the Peruvian can steal chilli con carne.
I actually prefer Feijoada to chilli con carne, which is Brazilian.
i know, i know, but latinamericans are very "paisano" about each others. i think most latinamerican dishes are easily found, from tierra de fuego in southern argentina, and way into the latino parts of usa.
exactly as you say, chili con carne in peru, ceviche in mexico, and chorizos, horchata and empanadas in both
(which are all spanish (de españa))
(btw, a new word for "spanish" is needed, to describe something "of spain")

Broken tortilla chips or shells, extra hot sauce, cheese.
I've never been the biggest fan of chili, but I'm starting to accept it.
Just don't accidentally mix a can of meatless chili with a can of baked beans 
I didn't do it, but I ate a bowl of it =/

I've never heard of putting crackers in chili before. I like to top mine with melted cheddar cheese and some sour cream. I like crackers in soup, however. Sometimes I'll just put a pile of soda crackers in the bowl and pour the soup right over it. I enjoy the crunchiness in what is mostly a bowl of liquid, it's like when you eat cereal that stays crunchy in milk.
Now, ketchup on macaroni and cheese or Kraft Dinner, I'll never figure out. I tried it once, and was bleah.

Chili (con carne) is a kind of stew, the main ingredients being:(ground) meat, chili peppers, tomatoes and usually kidney beans.
Here's a wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_con_carne
I usually eat it with rice, never liked it with tortilla chips or crackers.
I do like crackers in soup though, like those saltine type of crackers but without salt (and wholemeal).
oh yeah, my dad (peruvian) made a lot of chili con carne when i was little. i gotta push him into inviting me for some, again, i love it. he uses beans and rice, i never heard of crackers used.

of course, i begun assuming that you were all talking about some dish I think the American language is just rather lazy, we simply don't include the 'con carne' part when it comes to that chili. There is also green chili, but it doesn't use ground meat usually either shredded pork or chunks and doesen't usually have beans just vegetables and the spicy chili broth.

...So, yeah. Basically If the crackers are there I'll tend to add them later on.
