Hi Podsters,

I received this message which I don't think went to everyone. The links have a lot 
more, obviously updated information from DeWitt, including what I quoted from 
"The Chile Pepper Encyclopedia"

More fun stuff:-)

Won't talk about sainthood (but I am wondering whether my growing chiles has
anything to do with having attended high school in Indiana - Chile, uhm,
Hoosier Land)...

Something interesting to add to DeWitt's results (by him):
"After finding all of this information, I began to wonder how Mexico was
able to supply the demand for chipotles in the United States. So I called
Emma Jean Cervantes, of Cervantes Enterprises near Las Cruces, New Mexico.
She told me that the jalapeņo crop in Mexico is so huge that they have
plenty of red pods, and the only thing they do with them is smoke them."
(Source: http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/chipotle2.asp - hope you haven't
all read it already ;)

Seems to imply that red pods are more commonly used, and neverminds the
stuff about morita vs. tipico...
