I don’t know what these people are yammering about, my dad always made us chili spaghetti, it was usually for lunch and not dinner..but it was just a can of chili thrown on some spaghetti with cheddar cheese…I didn’t know any different, my friends thought it was gross but it was delicious…and I’m from California.
We also made New England Chop Suey which was elbow macaroni, ground beef, onions and canned tomatoes. Best stuff, ever.

Chicken and waffles are pretty good actually. its not like you wrap the chicken in the waffle and dip it into the syrup (although you can).

No one in Cincinnati in any way considers Cinci chili the same thing as chili chili.

Cincinnati chili is of Greek origin, and is only related to southwestern chili in that both have beef in it and they are roughly the same color. And thick-soupy.

You can also have a 4-way and a 5-way, if you’re a real hedonist (beans & onions).

It may not be an “Engrish” case but…and this is very important…does the $6 Three Way come with a beverage of some kind?

As I have traveled far and wide, I have actually encountered 3-ways outside of the greater Cincinnati area(inclusive of Lexington, Dayton and Columbus). I, in fact, once ate at a Skyline in St. Petersburg, Fl along the beach. And as I am a traveling minstrel, it was quite nice to enjoy a taste of home. While it may sound odd, it is actually quite good, though I don’t recommend attempting to make it with Texas-style chili, as that would not be a good thing.

What happened? Can I watch?

(It’d either be like watching the food channel live or…)

By: CobraJoe

Actually, eating a cinnamon roll with your chili is absolutely delicious.
I’d be curious what it’s like in the chili and on top of spaghetti though.

Sorry, but colloquialisms that sound sexual to us outsiders are still funny whether English in origin or not.

A three-way is a primarily Cincinnati food. It consists of spagetti (1), chili (2), and cheese(3). Adding beans or onions makes it a four-way and adding both, a five-way. No, it is not a midwestern food and the ‘chili’ really isn’t chili. It rarely sounds appealing to people who aren’t from around here, but if you grew up here, it’s a friggin’ staple of your diet. And you can get a three-way AND a drink for less than $6. So this is neither Engrish nor fail.

By: tinascratch

tinascratch — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:48:10 +0000

This seems reasonable to me. And if you want to go it alone, $2 will suffice.

Not sure about the cinnamon in chili but I know a number of people who put it in lasagna, so I’m not surprised to see it.

For my taste, plain old whacko use of English by english speakers is appropriate here.

This “Special of the Day” gave me a very good laugh. And the comments describing the food have given me a strange urge to make something like that.

Well, ask anyone from Columbus, and they’ll surely agree with you.

Well, that depends on what you mean by “not Cincy.” I mean, Skyline has had restaurants as far away as Bowling Green, OH which is just south of Toledo (although the one here closed about a year ago because there weren’t enough of us SW Ohio folks to keep it afloat apparently). And I know of at least one Gold Star as far South as Lexington.

So, the general Cincinnati area, radiating out for a few hundred miles, but yes, it is certainly not common throughout the entire Midwest.

Well said Ryan. And to those claiming a three-way is a ‘midwest’ food, I’ve lived all over these United States (except Ohio, Maine and Texas) and in Minnesota for the past 12. I’ve never heard of three-way in a food reference.

Actually…. yes… they do.

That’s the whole point of Engrish… things translated wrong.

By: tinascratch

tinascratch — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:08:48 +0000

Clearly the weird- and awkward-ness comes in due to the fact that it is not, in fact, called chili on the sign. And clearly LOTS of people have never associated the phrase “three way” with food. I certainly never did – never heard of the stuff described in the comments here. Not everyone is from, has been to or knows folks in Cincinnati.

Kinda like when I told my now-wife (who was not from the New England-that-borders Quebec) that I wanted to drive to Canada for some poutine.

(She first thought it was some variant of “Poontang”. It’s french fries, cheddar cheese curds, and brown gravy: a French-Canadian specialty.)

Those who are inclined to complain that the recent entries are not engrish should do the following:
1. Goto main page
2. Click on “Vote”
3. Vote down anything that is not actually Engrish.
If you haven’t, then don’t complain when your preferences that you haven’t bothered to express properly get ignored.
