I agree the food is wonderful-and I was just kidding with the red/green feud--I like them both, but prefer the heat.

I love paella. Whats in the can? Do you add fresh shrimp?
Other than Goya, Campbells and Bush, who makes beans?
Its gonna be Blazing Saddles with all these beans. Lol
For many years now I have been under very strict orders from my wife to only buy black beans from Goya.
Much better than the store brand beans.
And family oriented.
To be fair I know plenty of white-trash types who are lazy as hell.
With some Hatch Green Chili and the right seasoning I can change your life. I make scratch tortilla's that compete with anyone and my Green Chili Stew is knock out. Also my Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas. Lost my wife of 47 years in 2018, remarried 4 months ago. My new wife is now a Hatch Green Chili convert. I took her on trip to NM and specifically to Hatch, NM to give her the best Mexican food in the world. No exaggeration. We brought back a burlap bag full of green chili's, roasted them and froze them. Essential Ingredient.
Goya is GOOD!
Congratulations on your marriage! Love is truly grand; but, everyone knows red chili are the only real chilies. Green chilies are second place only because they are mild enough for women and children, and maybe the occasional green-chili cheeseburger...
LOL
Let's just say we're going to eat all the Goya beans we can until Slim Pickens shouts "You've had enough!"
Red or Green? Shrug
As long as the are grown in Hatch NM.
I have both. Have frozen packages of Hatch Red Chili Sauce and I have lots of roasted Green Chili’s in the freezer.
The Mexican food in NM an CO is like no other in the world. I lived in NM for many years, traveled through Hatch every week.
I recently went back for the visit, The town has grown from 400 residents to 1600 residents, since I was last there. Hard to recognize it. The world has found it, I knew about it in 1973 when I moved to Silver City, NM.
Kroger, which for some reason make excellent pinto beans I eat nearly every day.
As a 95% vegetarian and a guy with thyroid problems despite daily pill, I need fiber.
And La Preferrida is a famous brand. Plus Our Family and other brands. Randall makes those prepared beans sold in glass jars that are one of my mainstays.
Congratulations and best wishes on your marriage.
If she tells you to drop running around online with that Free Republic crowd, tell her “Aw, except for ones like Frank Ballenger they aren’t that bad.”
I’ve got news for you — blacks from other countries and areas of the world say the same thing about American blacks.
Odd you mentioned Hatch as I just unpacked 4 jars of chile sauce two days ago.Love it.
I agree the food is wonderful-and I was just kidding with the red/green feud--I like them both, but prefer the heat.
Goya in not just Mexican but various South America and Spanish foods. It was the only place I could find Linden Flower Tea for a long time.
It is not because they are American blacks, it is because LBJ and his "Great Society" removed most black men from the family and replaced them with a gummint check.
76% of all black kids are in a gummint supported parent family, what in the hell would anyone expect.
The Doctor Ben Carsons of the world are an exception.
Thanks for the explanation. I’m native Texan, but you simply cannot find great Mexican food in Texas. It is Tex-Mex.
So, I learned to cook my own. Smile.
Honestly, I’ve been the family baker for 45 years and shared the kitchen with my wife most of my life.
I did business in Hatch. Drove through there ever week for many many years. Long before it became so well known.
There is nothing like it. It is not the variety of pepper that makes it so good. It is the soil, right temperature and plenty of water from Elephant Butte Lake. Unique place.
It has gone tourista since I moved away, but food is still the same. I know a hand full of places that are “the Best”. Don’t judge them from the building, just look at the parking lot. If it is full, that is where you want to eat.
