Hi All --

While living in New Mexico several years ago, my wife and I typically grew
chiles that we couldn't find in the market and purchased our New Mexico chiles
already roasted in the fall on our annual pilgramage to Hatch.  We would buy a
half sack of "medium" and a half sack of "hot".  I was never sure of the actual
variety that we were purchasing.

Which leads to my question -- now that we are in Atlanta, we would like to grow
some NM chiles and I am going to buy some seeds.  But, what should I buy?  I
would like a medium hot to hot chile (jalapeno to serrano, say) with thick
flesh.  We like the thicker flesh because the texture seems so much better, but
the thick-fleshed NM varieties seem to be milder (I think).  Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Matt
