Esperanza,

Yes, I do like the flavors and chiles of New Mexico!

I think it was red chile. I have to admit it surprised me, as around here

(midwest) the stuff WE call " chili " (or " chile " ) is a SOUP. What I had in NM

seemed much more like a sauce with mostly the peppers and not too many other

flavors of seasonings. I LIKED it, but I had my mouth " set " on maybe a little

different flavor. However, I SEASON so many foods I make at home with the

ground chile powder we bought in Santa Fe.

I think it came from a place called " The Chile Shop " (http://thechileshop.com).

 

Santa Fe was one of the most fascinating places I've ever been. DH and I stopped

there on the way home from our road trip to see older daughter in Arizona. We

were there just 2 days, and I SO want to go back and visit the area again! It's

lovely!

 

I don't know if I could handle the " double-hot " of a " Christmas " entree--with

both red AND green chile on it!

 

Best wishes to you!

Laura,

 

Good to see you like NM chiles! What I'm finding if I go out to eat now that I

have to ask if the chile has meat in it and one time I was trying to get a bean

and cheese sopapilla with tomatoes and lettuce and chile, but both red and green

chile had meat! I can't even fathom any NM dish without chile and sat there

staring at the menu, tryign to decide what I could do! Finally I told her my

dilema and she offered me salsa. Which worked better than nothing, but oh man if

I ever had to live without my NM chile permanently I don't know what I would do.

 

So, which did you prefer, red or green? Or " Christmas " (both)?
