With an "i", it's a capsicum pepper; with an "e", it's a bowl of red
beef-based spicy stew.

Here in Canada with an 'i' it is the stew with a 'e' it is a 'hot' or
'hot-ish' pepper, and if it is a capsicum it is called either a red or
green or yellow bell pepper.

At least it's pronounced the same ;-)b

BTW - "CHILI" is spelled with a double "L" in places like New Zealand,
Australia and parts of Asia (as in "CHILLI"). But the double L's are
not pronounced as "Y" as they would be in Mexican and Latin American
Spanish. Come to think of it, that would make it "chee-yee" which
sounds more Asian. Ain't language great!

I just pulled a can of *chili* out of the pantry. Chiles are the peppers.

This is likely to be true. No one around here would put up with roasting
chiles that had been sitting around. The demand is such that it doesn't
happen anyway. We roast our own; a 25- or 50 lb bag would be too much.
Easy enough to choose the best chiles.

l, not -l,

I usually got them (poblanos!) stuffed with eggs and fresh chorizo.

Not "exactly" finger food!

Ahhh... the good ol' FAT days!

Best,

No. It's either "chile relleno" (singular), or "chiles rellenos"
(plural). It means "stuffed chili".

I got all that from my dictionary. I don't know whether to tear my hair
out, or get a new dictionary.

My dictionary *does* respond to plain old "relleno", which may be the
way to go.

l, not -l,

Happy hunting!

Next to the bar (pool hall) on Western Ave., L.A. they had an adjoining
restaurant "Excellent Mexican Food," that had an adjoining inside door we
and THEY could wander back and forth thru. Two brothers ran the place and
they actually cooked up EXCELLENT Mexican food! :9

When I was growing up and living in Southern California the rule of
thumb was to look out for the places with dusty pickup trucks and cars
with Virgin Mary on the dashboard and rosaries, etc hanging from the
rear vision mirrors ... and avoid those with new station wagons and
four-door sedans with Automobile Club decals. You may turn out to be
the only gringo in the place, but the Mexican food was always great.

I was eating at a 'mexican' restaurant once, and somehow
overheard a guy a couple tables over ordering. He wanted
the chiles relleno. I guess it's happened before, people
ordering that and being none to happy when it arrives and
it's not a bowl of chili.

It was pretty funny as the waitress tried to explain, is this
what you want, it's chiles stuffed with blah blah and he
said, yeah, it's like a bowl of soup, right? No. I don't know
what he wound up ordering. I guess a bowl of chile, though
I don't remember that being on the menu.
