[CH] A Chile Poll

Hi, CH's --

While wandering through my garden yesterday evening after the rain, I got to
thinking about the varieties of chiles I was growing (25 or so?) and the
fact that many (most?) list members grow significantly more chiles than I
do.  So, I start wondering -- if I could only eat 5 types of chiles for the
rest of my life, what would they be?  How about 3?  One?

So, I thought I would do a list-wide poll and then tabulate and post the
results.  Here's the deal:

1.  Send me an *off-list* e-mail and let me know which chiles you would
choose if you could only eat (1), (3), or (5) type(s) -- for all cooking all
the time.

2.  We won't consider bell peppers to be chiles, but large mild chiles do
count -- cubanelle, poblano, Anaheim, etc.

3.  Remember, these aren't necessarily your five (or 3, or 1) *favorite*
chiles -- there is a subtle difference here.

I look forward to hearing from many of you.  I hope your gardens and/or
kitchens are full of chiles.

Matt
