Another good thing about chile is it seems we can all get along when chile is involved, regardless of politics or religion or any of those other silly things that divide us all...

Au contraire, and to prove my point I will ask whether I am the only transplant who after living here for eons still feels awkward when having to utter the words "Christmas" when being interrogated by a restaurant server. It's as if I'm being tested to provide the secret code word before they'll comingle my red and green. I'm a firm believer in the separation of church, state and food and "I'll have both" is a perfectly reasonable secular response. Then again, maybe I'm just weird.

don't take this the wrong way it is meant tongue in cheek but what you have written here reminds me of the Rolling Stones song
" I can't get no assimulation!"

I just say both if I want both, I honestly have never even heard of the saying "Christmas" before, untill I read it somewhere on a website that it was NM's state question or something like that, and I have lived in NM my whole life, up until the last month or so.
The red green question is known the world over. I was watching "In Plain Sight" and Mary said something about it to a new witness. Something like that's about the most important decision she'd have to make in Albuq.

I doubt its known the world over, c'mon, Im from New Mexico and I had never ever heard of it, and Im a hispanic who grew up eating chile, not once did I ever hear a person ever mention the word Christmas when talking about Chile, I think its some sort of tourist thing that NM promotes, knda like the Q, ABQ residents dont refer to ABQ as "The Q".
and I doubt people even knew what they were talking about on "In Plain Sight", Im sure they probably think of TX style chili, and wonder what the green is all about.
i would feel too haughty if i said "christmas" when asked about red or green chile at a restaurant. it's like trying too hard to be new mexican. and then you run the risk of the server not knowing what you mean. so i'd just stay simple and say "both."
