Re: Green chili + Ren ( or lack of )

Hi,
I'm sure you must be able to get some. The small city where I live
has two mexican restaurants and they must be getting them from somewhere.
Which bit of England are you in? I'm in the East Midlands. Maybe I can ask
around on some of the UK lists I'm on to see if I can find a source for you?

it was by a highway with exits. Maybe south of Beverley. But if it's at one
Safeway, it might be at most). On packaging, if it says "chile verde" it's
probably a green chile sauce for cooking. If it says "green chile" it's
probably the ingredient itself, just canned. Just like England brought
Norman words in and let the Anglo-Saxon word mean one thing and the Norman
French word mean something slightly different, New Mexico does that with
Spanish and English sometimes.
One VERY common thing to do with it here is to put it on cheeseburgers. The
local hamburger chains will ask if you want green chile, very often (it's ten
or fifteen cents exta sometimes, or free) and even the national chains might
have it sometimes. At a restaurant you might be asked simply "red or
green?" meaning what kind of sauce you want on a plate meal.
But if you get it in England, it would be good mixed with eggs with that
REALLY good bacon you have there. We have nothing like that here. A
teaspoonful of chile's a good single-dose for eggs or a sandwich.
On an enchilada plate, it will have about half a cup of sauce or more. Lots.
It's okay to leave lots of it there if you need to. <g>

Hi,
Thanks for the offer, but having eaten at a few Mexican restaurants
since we arrived I'm not to sure of their sources. We are in
Durham, so may be more limited than you are to sources. I think the
plan is to get by as best we can until we go back to the U.S. this
summer for a brief visit and then smuggle as much dried chile as we
can manage to get fit into our luggage. I'm hoping that the chile
sniffing dogs will be down with colds when we come through.
