foods to try before ya die (US)

[Anonymous]

I'm always very surprised by how many people have never had green chili sauce like the kind you get in New Mexico. I don't think any food is "essential" but it's weird to me that lots of people know about Skyline chili, for instance, but not NM green chili. One is a disgusting novelty food from a region of the country known for bad food, the other is a delicious and versatile condiment with a rich history and based on an agricultural crop (Hatch green chilis) that are considered genuinely high quality.
