Tsk, Tsk, You referenced your 4th grade school report again! Aren't you one
of those Dell transplants that pretend to be a Texican?

jay, you pulled that on-line dictionary defination BS last time. I'm sure
you think the Euro-centric viewpoint is accurate such as Plymouth Rock was
the first European colony and such, but just becasue some New Englander says
it is so does not make it so. Get back to me when you have actually
researched where the Anglicization of the word "Chile" came from. BTW, I
was just in the store today and saw rows of Mexican canned Chile Colorado &
Chile Verde, as well as I picked up some Chile Pasilla Molido.
