In restaurants here they are always filled with cheese or 
beef, sometimes battered and fried and sometimes just 
smothered in queso. To me, the shape and color of the 
pepper they use looks like a Poblano (very triangular), 
which I know is also called Ancho when dried--I use those 
in my beans (instead of beer). It's a dish we like alot, 
so I'm growing plenty of peppers. Funny--the pepper is 
going through some seedsmen by the name of its use.

What they sell here in the stores as Relleno peppers 
though looks to me to be  Anaheim (I'm assuming grown in 
California), and Hatch (New Mexico) which we use for green 
chili.  I feel like I should know the differences better 
but I never studied agricultural plants in botany. When I 
buy these dried in New Mexico I prefer Nambe and Chimayo 
strains for their superb heat.

BTW, I am enjoying learning stuff from "all y'all".
