Some people in Albuquerque call Poblanos "Chile Manzanos". I have seen a dish that is a Poblano stuffed with minced apple, raisens and nuts and baked called Chile Manzana. But I haven't seen a fresh manzano chile. You might ask Dave Dewitt or check with the Chile Connection on Broadway & Mountain in ABQ. Also the Whole Food Market on Wyoming and the Albertsons in the South Valley have all sorts of fresh chiles. In the meanwhile I will check my favorite Mexican grocer on 4th street, unless you have already checked there. PerryA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank J.
