In the airport, this huge garbage bag full of green chilli sprung a leak on me, spilling slimy green chilli juice all over the place, forcing an emmergency landing of it into a wastebin. Tragic. So much for my plan of bringing some back from my home back to my other home.

Re: On the way to my flight...
Tue, October 4, 2005 - 9:37 AMYeah, it was sad. I was kinda late for my flight too, so que lastima. I don't know how well they ship, I had a fantasy of making a roasting stand in Ashland last fall, outside the co-op last fall they had a pinche little roasting thingy roasting green chile these crappy tasting anehiems grown in eastern oregon that tasted like shite for like several bucks a pepper, avg. anyways, I thought to myself "i could do better". Don't know how they would ship though, unrefrigerated the have a pretty small life span. -

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 9:53 AMhave you thought about dried chiles?
I am still working through a giant bag of new mexico dried roasted green chile from my last trip --> and the beauty of traveling with it is...no mess and much lighter to pack! -

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 9:59 AMyeah but hatch frozen seems like processed mega farm type shite, even if it is the same chile that is sold on Cerrillos. And dried just sounds wierd. Although I guess both are better than nothing...:( -

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 10:03 AMhave you ever tried dried? they are awesome! They are roasted and dried completely whole (stems, seeds and all) and all you do is re-hydrate them in a little bit of warm H2O. I think they are far better than Hatch's frozen ones, since I think freezing damages them on a cellular level, where drying merely concentrates their flavor!
I swear! Try them you'll be converted! -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 8:19 PMdried could work. i worked for a company that used dried habaneros in a drink. can't find em fresh and organic all year....
what's your rehydration process?
we jsut froze like a pound of em. it will loose flavor but it's ok...we know where they came from... -

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 9:16 PMoh my gosh. dried new mexico chile on popcorn sounds absolutely delicious. ya, what's the process you use? i've never seen them dried whole before. i've seen chile powder, but that's powder, that doesn't sound like what you're talking about. with most things, i find that you have to use more if it's dried because any alterations makes it lose flavor. dry vs. the real thing. dry is a good option to have. it's good to have options. -

Re: On the way to my flight...
Wed, October 5, 2005 - 9:20 PMjust dehydrate them like you would any vegetable or fruit. i can attest that the smell of drying habaneros is divine....i can only image what a green chile smells like....

Re: On the way to my flight...
Sun, August 6, 2006 - 7:56 PMso sorry for the loss that you have taken.
about a year ago, I had my mother send me fresh green chile from Bueno.
The really good stuff that they are roasting during harvest season.
All threw out the towns and hills of New Mexico.
there was was minimal waste, you just send it like a regular package,
then you roast and freeze your self.
I would suggest that you put them in smaller zip lock bags. So that you don't have to
use up a huge bag at once.
Lets hope the bags don't break this time.
