It's a common item around here for the tourists to take home. Green
chile doesn't really dry all that well, as I found from experience when
I took some back to the UK with me. It was quite tasteless. Green chiles
I dried myself didn't fare any better.

Use the green chile and jalapeno powders for a rub or to add to sour
cream to make a dip. They wouldn't work out so well for cooking in a
stew. Might work for cooking beans though, although whole chiles work
better

Hatch, NM was on the CBS 'Sunday Morning' programme today (Sunday). Nice
for the place to be on a national show.
