Beans AND tomatoes in ChiliWith beans and tomatoes???
Oh better yet, a Spam Chili with beans, green egg omelet.
Some dicerd spam in a pot of pinto beans would be good I think. If I was lacking a ham hock, I'd try that.
I like me some Spam once in a while. The biggest problem with it isn't the fat, it's the sodium. Damn!
I salt everything. Have my entire life. I tell people I'm trying to get my blood pressure up to an acceptable level.
Used to drive my Mom crazy, she'd say '...how can you salt it before you taste it?...'
I'd just smile, say '...it needs salt....'
I've never had high blood pressure, and the more recent studies have pretty much de-coupled sodium intake and high blood pressure.
I wouldn't completely go that far... there are some people it is absolutely 10000% a major factor. One of my friends is in his 30s and has extremely hard to control high blood pressure, if he drastically cuts his sodium intake, it becomes quite easy to manage.
There will always be those with extenuating circumstances. The exception that proves the rule, so to speak.
I am saying that the science isn't settled. The conventional wisdom, as so often happens, is not correct.
Maybe it has to do with whether you have high BP to start with.
Salty foods definitely have an effect on mine now, though they didn't seem to bother me when I was younger. :/
