    I once entered a local chili contest. Didn't win...Didn't matter. but I'll tell you what I did. I made the chili like regular, but I added very small diced (Brunoise sized) apple. The apple sweetened the chili and took on the flavor of the Chili so it didn't taste like apple anymore, but like chili. The Germans use fruit in savory dishes a lot when they cook - it's not french at all.

    I think I didn't win or place because the apples provided a different texture (sort of like water chestnut) because I didn't cook the dish to death and the judges couldn't figure out what it really was and thought that they might not want to know, in the back of their minds. It kind of threw them off of what they were expecting.

    If they asked, I was going to tell them "yucca root".
