We were standing in front of the Hatch chili display. The State of New
Mexico had thoughtfully provided freezing instructions. Having perused
the instructions, the lady, unsatisfied, asked me what I was going to
do with them. I said, "Roast 'em, peel 'em, and eat 'em." She still
wasn't satisfied, and asked, essentially, what recipes was I going to
use. IOW, why would she want to buy any when she had no recipe in mind
for them.

I hadn't thought that far ahead, so although she had given me ample
opportunity, I just didn't have what it took to satisfy her.

I guess I could have said, "chop them and scramble with egg."

Does anyone have any simple-to-communicate ideas I could mentally file
in case this comes up again?

Roast and peel them, then:

1. Use them in tacos with chicken
2. Use them for chiles rellenos
3. Scramble them with eggs
4. Stuff them with leftover cooked fish and serve with vinaigrette
5. Add them to succotash
6. Purée them with roasted tomatillos, roasted garlic, and cilantro for
salsa
7. Cut them into strips, dip in beer batter, and deep-fry
8. Put them into guacamole
9. Stir-fry with shrimp and scallions, then drizzle with lime juice
10. Stuff with picadillo, top with cheese, and bake

"I use them in any recipe that calls for wonderful chilis.
Don't you have a lot of those?"

That reminds me of when I was a newlywed buying bulk spinach
and two middle aged ladies asked me how to cook it. :-(

When I recently bought 3 leeks for my potato-leek soup the young woman at
the check-out asked, "Is this just one?" (They were in a produce bag.) It
was obvious she had no idea what a leek is. What the checkers don't know
about produce still amazes me. You don't have to eat it, but if you're
going to work there you should know more than simply how to swipe it across
a bar-code scanner. You can't do that with produce (yet!) so you should be
able to identify the fruit/vegetables the person brings to the check out
line.

It just seems awful to me. What on earth are they being fed at home!
Actually, I have had other customers ask me what I was going to do with
<item> similar to the OP.

Before we allowed our cashiers to run a till we took them to the
produce manager and told him to educate them about every product that
he sold and how to differentiate one from another. This worked for the
cashier and especially for the customer. Also the cashiers were clued
in when a different seasonal item was introduced to the over-all mix
of products. Too bad that today's supermarkets are just too rushed to
do things right.

It might have been considered one "bunch" as I often buy leeks bundled
together not unlike green onions.

She was probably asking if they were bundled. Sometimes the produce
department bundles more than one item together and sells it at the "by
the each" price.

I like cashiers who are as enthused about the various items as I am. I
love it when they know an item on sight and often mention how they enjoy
it or use it.
I get a bit saddened when the cashier can't even recognize the items I
consider commonplace and they've obviously never tried it.

When I was single asking about cooking an interesting item worked okay
as a pick up method. It favored the foodie women which was an added
benefit.

True. I have a hard time finding decent leeks here in coastal SC that don't
look like spring onions. Imagine my surprise to find good sized leeks! But
spring onions and green onions are usuall banded together. These were
separate and I've never seen them any other way. YMMV.

I could have lied to her and told her it yes, it was a bunch [of whatever
she thought it was]. But it wasn't. So she rang them up correctly. I
don't want to rip off the store, nor do I want to deceive the cashier.

It seems I always have to explain what the veggies are to the checkout
teenager-of-the-week at my local markets. I've yet to have one successfully
identify Fennel, leeks, golden beets, broccoli rabe, butternut or acorn
squash, Brussels' sprouts or celery root.

Before checkout counters included scales, I had to wait in line for
the produce lady to weigh and label with a grease pencil my paper
bagged produce. I'd rather have to explain the occasional fruit or
veggie than go through that again.

You were going to eat them straight? Why not tell her what dish you
were putting them in; if it's scrambled eggs, fine.

It's a what are *you* going to do with them question from another
person. Give her a personal answer.

I check out my cash register tape when I get home. Last week, a bunch of
green onions was checked out as leeks. They were decent sized but not that
big! I didn't complain, the leeks (sold by the pound) were less expensive
than the green onions (sold by the bunch). And a woman once asked me about
a recipe she had for pesto and did the basil she had picked up enough for
what she wanted. It was dried basil - big containers. I explained to her
the difference in using dried and fresh - and that fresh was available in
the produce department.

I'm not insecure in my marriage. Maybe insinuations like that would have
bothered you back when you were married, but then again, there was probably
a really good reason for that.

So how's that waitress-chasing going, anyway? Have you found one willing to
overlook your appearance and your mental problems? Maybe you're just not
offering enough money, have you thought of that? And you *do* let them know
that you have condoms which are "ribbed for her satisfaction," don't you?

Lin and I are *happily* married, with no regrets on either side. I feel
