The addition of cinammon to dishes containing beef, veal, and lamb is the contribution, I think, of Arabic cooking to the good food from around the Med. While the Greeks would likely deny it, the presence of cinnamon in Greek dishes is likely the contribution of Arabs to Greek culinary culture. One has to think only of the classic pastitsio, with its cinnamon-flavoured red lamb sauce to imagine the debt which we owe to Arabia for this contribution.

I suppose the fact that adding cinnamon to chili or other dishes sounds repulsive to me might be due to the fact that I'm mildly allergic to cinnamon, but I can't imagine wanting a main course dish to taste like cinnamon.

I'm not sure if all Cincinnati chili has cinnamon in it, but when it does, the cinnamon flavor is very subtle. And it's very popular, the main restaurant chain for it is expanding quite well.
