Mark, Hatch is kinda like an appellation in NM, kinda like Bourdeaux wine
must be from that region in France. However advertising by saying "Hatch"
when they're from Las Cruces, for example, isn't against the law as far as I
know... The diff varieties (6-4, Big Jim, Sandia, Parker's, etc.) can be
grown anywhere but they taste beter when grown in NM. There is a commercial
guy who grows a bunch of different veggies out here, in Morgan Hill,
including NM chiles. In flavor, they are far away from those from NM.

Hey Folks that know,
Just for clarification, are Hatch chiles a particular variety, or a group of
varieties of new mex types?
cheers
