I've got 35 pounds of chile on the way here tomorrow!Welcome Mr. Dealer!
Lived in ABQ 1973-89. I miss blue skies and green chile.
That should be enough for the weekend.I've got 35 pounds of chile on the way here tomorrow!
Red or green? Christmas!?! OMG I sound like a burqueno.I've got 35 pounds of chile on the way here tomorrow!
Green, double extra hot from Sichler Farms (their little farm stand on San Mateo south of Lomas).Red or green? Christmas!?! OMG I sound like a burqueno.
Here's the Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_chileOK, apparently I need to know more about this Chile!....
Ahhhhh! Ok, Yeah, two varieties of those are some of my favorite peppers to grow! NM "Big Jim" and something "Bull", I'm drawing a blank on it right now.Here's the Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_chile
Doesn't really capture the culture of the chile though. Not only is it everywhere, but it's like a part of life. Especially in the fall when the little roasters are set up in every grocery store parking lot in town, the smell and sound of the roasting chile is just everywhere.
When I first moved there I couldn't stand red, but now I think I like red more than green. I get my red from here http://www.potrerotradingpost.com/RedChile.html Their sun-dried chimayo is excellent, as is the hotter Sandia and Lumbre.I live in Nob Hill and we get our chili from the same place.
Unfortunately I have IBS and an ulcer that doesn't like hot food, so I am very careful when I need a chili fix.
@Glassman the locals eat this three times a day, and put it in damn near everything.
I am still a noob here but will be happy to send or trade NM chili bombs for cigars.
