So the question is....

Chimayo Chile.. or Hatch Chile..?
I'm a hardcore norteno (Northern New Mexican) so we spell it with an E instead of an I...

Both claim to be the Chili capitals of the world.. so you tell us.
New Mexicans VOTE! and share with us why...

I live in the north eight miles from Chimayo but I gotta vote for Hatch.

Why? It tastes better. Why else?

Hatch was there when I needed green chile the most (while living in Houston), they have my vote.

I love everything about the northern New Mexico town of Chimayó and I go there frequently, but try as I might, I am not a red chile fan.

I had to go with Hatch.

P.S. I will say that comparing Chimayó chile (red) with Hatch (green) is like comparing apples and oranges, in my opinion.

Where, as I am somewhat stuck in the chile free Northeast for a couple more years, can I mail order either or both?

Maybe Christmas should have been one of the options on the poll.

Hatch green and red, although I get most of my chiles from Mesilla. And I certainly wouldn't refuse a Chimayo chile, if offered.

Chimayo, and I'm a red fan. I would not turn my nose up at any NM chile, though.
