One of the things I have learned more about from living in Santa Fe is something called chili. If I was in Virginia, people would think chili was “Chili Con Carne” or a stew with beans, meat, and ground red chili powder. Not in Santa Fe. Chili is the type of pepper that you like to have on your entrée. The two types you choose from are either Red or Green Chili and you can find chili at every restaurant in Santa Fe. I have had green chili in croissants, pizza, enchiladas, burgers, french fries, burritos, stews and bagels to name a few. I am partial to green, but others praise red chili. If you can't decide between red or green chili, you can tell the server that you would like Christmas. That means you want both red and green chili in your meal. Green chili is in season and many people buy the roasted green chili by the car load from vendors at the Farmer's Market and freeze them so that they have the chili all year round. I hope to bring some Green Chili back home to Richmond so that others can enjoy my new favorite fruit.
