When I lived in LA, an old boss brought back several bags of frozen roasted
green chilies. I don't think he had any problem with the ag inspectors--He
bought them fresh-roasted and froze them for the trip back. It doesn't let
you roast them yourself, but it might be a way to at least get some back.
I know some commercial shipments of fresh can get through. But it was an
acquaintance who went in on a big shipment (kind of like the red savina
orders on this list), so I don't know who arranged it.
On a side note, the only time I was actually inspected (ie. open the trunk)
was on I-80 entering California from Reno--I had Utah plates on the car for
that trip. I've never been stopped on I-15 out of Barstow, and I had Utah
plates for a couple of those trips as well...
