The ground beef in the chili is boiled instead of browned, giving the chili a fine-grained texture, and the chili has notes of cinnamon and chocolate because...there's cinnamon and cocoa in it! Oh yeah! I almost forgot! A coney! Hot dog bun with chili, onions and cheese and a little mustard on the bun.
It's a Cincinnati classic!

Hungarian Goulash is more like an actual stew. American Goulash is the weirdest combination of elbow macaroni, ground beef, and tomato.
I never liked (American) Goulash but my grandparents would make it ALL THE TIME. I ate what I was served and was thankful for it haha.

FWIW, I've never heard of that. But it looks and sounds sort of like Chili Mac.
ETA: I was wondering if this was a local/regional thing (I've lived several years or more in southern California, the Mid-Atlantic, and around the Midwest, and I'm into food, but didn't know about this 'American' dish) but the Wikipedia article makes it sound like a midwestern thing. It didn't exist in my circles in Missouri, Illinois, or Minnesota (around which I've lived, aside from five years out east, since 1979), but it's clearly a well-documented phenomenon, not just something they happened to serve at Tim's church or whatever.
Nails are sold by the pound, that makes sense.

I saw Timothy's "American Goulash" picture and said "What?! That's American Chop Suey. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_chop_suey Which is apparently the New England version... (beef, tomato, bell pepper, onion, elbow macaroni) I never knew it as anything else!
One of my top ten favorite comfort foods, which bring childhood memories flooding back. I would get scolded for "sampling" the sauce as it simmered on the stovetop all afternoon. I can truly eat unhealthy amounts of the stuff!

Melba sauce is a fruity raspberry sauce that is exclusively found around here as a condiment to dip mozzarella sticks into. It's great, just trust me.

I just realized I was mashing up two different types of candy into one. Irish Potato candy is the one with coconut and rolled in cocoa powder; it doesn't have mashed potato in it. PA Dutch Potato candy is mashed potatoes and sugar, mixed into a dough and rolled out, then covered with peanut butter, rolled into a log, and cut into bite sized pieces.
Hell of a Dutchman I am, if I couldn't even remember that. (To be fair, I grew up eating both and I haven't had it in 25+ years)

We can in UK. It is pretty expensive though, so I have only had it once. I'd love to try growing it here, but of cousre the seed needs to be fresh/wet to germinate.

I have. It's actually pretty yummy, and I'll occasionally crave it. The predominant flavor is peanut butter, but how strong it is depends on how thick the peanut butter layer is. Annnnnd, now I want some, and we're out of peanut butter, lol.
