Barbecue, at least in Texas, is not just grilling, whereas 'to barbecue' in a lot of places is more of a live-fire-cook-on-a-grill-gathering sort of thing. Is 'chili' similar, in that it's just some kind of reddish soup/stew, even if there is absolutely no chili powder, paste or raw involved?
I am not an expert, but that’s my understanding! Especially since in places like New Mexico, “green chili” is a thing (no tomato or red chili or dried chili, but uses fresh green, etc). I feel like it’s open to interpretation as long as it has meat, is saucy and contains chilies (red or green, fresh/dried)?
