When I lived in Las Cruces, chiles were a huge crop and cheap. Only in hindsight do I realize how lucky I was in this resource.

When I was in college in Abilene, I had a major crush on a girl from Las Cruces that went to another university across town.

I don't know what people try with their chili. Saltines and such. Not sure I'd try with Verde, but with red chili, crumbled peanut butter crackers (the orange ones) are the bomb. My personal chili go with fav is over rice, if there are no tamales.

Chile verde is about as far from common "chili" as you can get. In 1980 Las Cruces, "Colorado chili" was made with ground red chiles, chunks of beef, oil/fat & masa flour for thickening, and stock/water. It was widely variable, with some adding potatoes and even carrots to it. Ground beef chili did not exist on any menu, nor was it made/served by anyone I knew.

Chile verde was much more common, made with either pork or chicken, and resplendent with lots of roasted green chiles. Curious story: My favorite little restaurant for chile verde was closed by the health department for serving feral house cat meat. Was that really chicken chile verde that I was enjoying? :eek:

Has anyone else tried the Walmart Great Value
Macaroni & Cheese?
They offer them in different flavors. They are really good and the Cheese Sauce is NOT a powder but a flavor packed creamy taste of happiness 😋😁
No artificial flavors.

So, it was mexinese chili meat then ?? Our favorite chinese place where we lived in GA was always rumored to have dead cat skeleton's out back in the alley. I never went and looked cause he had the only decent fried rice around. No one does fried rice like he did. Wonderful family though. There was a side apace apartment like room on the place where they actually lived. I guess the lesson is if the chinese guy is named George, don't ask where the meat came from.
