Ok, you'll all love this one...
I was at the show on the weekend and I gave a fellow a sample of our chipotle sauce. I tell him that the peppers the Peppermaster smoked to make the sauce are poblanos, he asks why we don't use "chipotles", I tell him that "chipotle" means "smoked" he tells me that he lived somewhere (Mexico? South America? I don't remember where) where he bought fresh "chipotle" peppers and that they weren't smoked. I didn't feel like arguing with him, and he left without buying anything anyway, but he left me feeling quite dumb. I hate when people do that.
Am I missing something? I've never heard of a specific breed of peppers called chipotles and the only chipotles I've ever actually heard of really were smoked.
Your comments????
