I checked out this link, and found some good information, but I have 
a question for the list. According to the article referenced:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't somebody state on this list 
not long ago that a "morita" is in fact a smoked serrano chile? 
Which statement is correct? Or is the same term, morita, used 
in the US to denote a smoked serrano but in Mexico for a type 
of chipotle? Or the other way round?

Thanks,
