I used some Lawry's chipotle marinade the other night on some grilled
vegetables. It was a different taste.

What, exactly is chipotle, and for cooking and flavoring, what types are the
best to buy? Something like Lawry's marinating sauce? Another brand?
Something pureed? Something with chipotle mixed with other ingredients?
Are different chipotles used for different types of dishes?

TIA

Chipotles are smoked ripe jalapeno peppers. I like San Marcos brand
canned chipotles in adobo sauce, Herdez is another brand but they
aren't as somey and the adobo is a litle sour. In a recent thread I
lamented the loss of my favourite brand of chipotle dipping sauce, La
Sabroza Chipotle Salsa™. I'm hoping I can doctor up some ketchup with
some San Marcos chipotles to approximate the sauce.

Chipotle is a smoked dried jalapeno pepper, which I KNOW you already
knew, as you have internet access. As for the "types", only you can
say. I think chipotle tastes like the crud in the bottom of a
cigarette ashtray, but I'm in the minority. I have discovered Tabasco
Chipotle and have learned to like it, somewhat, but am still not a fan
of chipotle, in general. YMMV.

They're actually smoked right after harvest and then dried... they
partially dehydrate during the smoking and then dried further but not
fully, when one buys quality chipotles they are somewhat leathery,
same as anchos.

Mother Superior, you know the drill. Hold out your hands so you can be
firmly smacked on the knuckles. Do you prefer the yardstick or the pointer
today?
