chiles rellenos

chiles rellenos: soft or crispy?

I'm a partisan of soft, but, since crispy ones can be found even in Puebla, can anyone seriously claim that only soft ones are auténtico?

  1. I've never tried more than a bite or two. What's all the fuss about?

  2. That was more than two bites at La Carreta II.

    Depends on what you mean. Over the general excellence of rellenos, or over the style?

  3. Or did you not order rellenos? If not, I've been remiss. Nineteen years I've known you, and.... No, surely, this is not possible.

  4. I dunno. They're so green, and floppy... Plus I kinda have a bias against smothering vegetables with cheese to make them palatable. Potatoes included. Either it's good or it isn't.

  6. That's just it! The pepper is smothering the cheese, not the other way round! That's why the cheese is inside, because the pepper is good!

    Perhaps we'll need to start you out on the crispy ones. I'm writing the syllabus for the Relleno Boot Camp, right now.
