I think this thread was on our list last year.  Thought you might get a kick
out of another take on it

Hi, I've been scanning through the list each day, but so busy that I haven't
taken time to read in depth or post in a long time.  Hope things slow down a
little so I can get involved again.

I don't know if this qualifies as a regionalism or not, but did you know
that New Mexico has an Official State Question?  The question is: "Red or
green?" (I'm not kidding, this was voted on by our legislature a couple of
years ago.) The question refers to which kind of chile you want on your
food--red chile or green chile. Since I've traveled many places where, if
you ask for green chile they'll look at you like you just ordered little
green men, I have to assume this question is fairly unique to NM.

If you can't decide whether you'd rather have red or green, you can have
both, half and half. But those in the know don't order it that way, they
just say "Christmas." -- And now you know the "rest of the story."
