Las Cruces Edit

As you know by now, I have a soft spot for Las Cruces, NM. I also am a huge fan of Mexican cuisine and love dining in New Mexico because their food it mostly authentic (and spicy!). Whenever you order a plate with chile you must ask your server which chiles are spicy that year.. the red or green. This is very important because it varies year to year depending on the crops. This question is so popular in New Mexico that it has become the official state question. I touched upon this in my wiki article: "In honor of the chile crop of New Mexico, the state has adopted "Red or Green" as its official state question to specify which type of chile is more spicy that season." See for yourself here!
