A dried Poblano. If dried when ripe it has a darker color and is 
called Mulato

> Pasilla?

A completely different chile than the Poblano, but in the west and 
Baja California, the supermarkets call Poblano Pasilla. Pasilla is 
actually a long thin chile which is normally dried (Chilaca).

> Poblano?

A large heart shaped chile which is harvested green (Verde) or Red 
(Rojo). It is very sweet and not very hot.


> Chipotle?

 Any thick walled Chile which must be smoked rather than dried. 
Jalapeno is used most often and canned Chipotles are usually 
Jalapenos. Serranos are also smoked, and Jim Campbell the elder 
smokes Red Savina Habaneros. He rolls his own <BG>.
