Title: Red vs Green
Post by: gunnss on November 23, 2003, 02:56:42 AM

It's time to talk about something important!
Do you like Red or Green Chili better and why?


As for me it's red, based mainly on the flavor but also on the diffrent things the  dried and mature chillis go in to.  You can't make Carne Adovada or Posole with green chillis, it wont work.

    For those on the other side of the pond this is an issue as divisive as "which side of the KnakeBrode do you put the butter on?" is in Scandanavia.  Up to and involving the creation of Political parties to support the views of the debate.

Lastly, this years chili crop is HOT! we are in the Sixth year of a drought and little water makes for hot chilis

I've always prefered red myself.  Mainly for taste.

BTW, one of the reasons a chili crop is hotter is due to drier weather.

Red is a lot more versatile, more different flavors.

But then there is green chili stew, loaded with chicken or pork, yummy.
They both have a place.

Les,

No, Hatch is bout some 200 miles south of Rio Ranchos.

SOB,

Pasole is a stew like soup made from hominy and beef, usually oxtail. It can have other things in it like whole pinto beans as well to suit the cook. I have had it with green chili as well as red and without chili but with chilitipines on the side. YOW!!! It's one if my favorite winter foods and is MUCH better the second or third time it's heated.

I am not familiar with the other food mentioned.

I prefer red for chili con carne and tamales.

I just love chili rellenos after I've roasted the fressh green chilis on my BBQ then the wife and I set up an assembly line making the rellenos.

Damn now I'm hungry!!!! :lol

I prefer green for most cooking, but generally speaking, I co-ordinate with the colors of the meat in the recieipe, ie, beef-red chilies, chicken and pork- green.
