Hot Secrets About Chile

A small excerpt from this article:

Trying to identify the various types of powdered chile can be as confusing as U.S. foreign policy. In fact, I once precipitated a small-scale family crisis in a Mexican food store when I tried to purchase some pasilla chile. The 10-year-old clerk pointed to one barrel, his 11-year-old brother to a second, and their father — the store’s owner — to a third. The funny thing is, each could have been correct. There simply is no universally agreed upon nomenclature for chiles.

The wise shopper, therefore, chooses powdered chile by taste and smell. Place your finger in the spice and sample it, then sniff. If your sinuses clear, your vision becomes fuzzy, and your scalp begins to sweat, that particular variety may be more than you can handle! As a rule, gringos who are unfamiliar with very hot foods should avoid serrano and jalapeńo chiles. I enjoy (and recommend) the fullbodied pasilla, New Mexico, and California chiles . . . but let discretion be your guide!

come on Nick! You wouldn’t like to see the words “As a rule, spics who are unfamiliar…”.

Not offended, just suprised!

Ummm- Did you read the first part where I stated it was an excerpt from another article? I didn’t write that and would not use that terminology, but even though the article may have used offensive terminology, they did have a valid point.

And at least leave your name if your going to leave accusatory remarks

Nick, I really don’t care and i’m sorry if I sounded like I accused you. I was just a little suprised that articles with racist terms are posted here. I agree they have a valid point.

Please don’t confuse

come on Nick! You wouldn’t like to see the words…etc

with

Nick I am offended that you wrote the words…etc

as I am not accusing you of writing the article.

Lastly, I didn’t leave a name because I see no point in doing so.

No problem S. - I was surprised at the article content myself and certainly didn’t want anyone to think I would write something like that.
