It's touted as the "WORLD'S BEST CHILI VERDE" but laughed when I
saw the ingredients. Red, green; tomatilloes, tomatoes... No
biggie.

Hey Ranger,

cilantro and jalapeno all green probably good for St Patricks day

As is mine when I use the very same ingredients. I thought the
idea of using tomatoes over tomatilloes was laughable and only
someone ignorant of many things (but in particular, the name of
the recipe) would label it "Chile Verde" -- let alone "the WORLD'S
BEST."

Hello? "Verde" means "green."

As far as having it on that holiest of holy days, St. Patrick's;
what an interesting notion! You can light yourself up with the
peppers and douse it with the booze!

Don't laugh too hard Ranger Chile verde is sometimes made with tomato:

Of that I have no doubt. And Velveeta or Cracker Barrel can be
substituted in place of any cheese, too. Just because people
substitute a familiar vegetable or fruit for an unfamiliar, or
unwanted, fruit or vegetable, doesn't mean that it should be
accepted -- either as a part that dish (that has the actual
descriptor in its name) or The WORLD'S BEST.

Damn, all this time I though Chile Verde was because of the green chiles.
Can I still use potatoes?

Now about that Cheese analogy, don't use either one so I can't comment on
what your tasting there or what you would sub it for, but using your
unacceptable analogy does this mean no more accepting yellow cheddar in
Mexican food either? That is going to upset many, many gringos.

As for the WORLD'S BEST title? Well, Ranger Buddy, it was the Disney
Channel you read and looked it up on, you know faiery tales and Once upon a
time, far, far away.... As much credence in that as cooking experts on RFC.

Just remember, what goes on in Disney Land, stays in .......
