    Hi Amigos!

    Thank you for the clarification.
    No. People at Texas do know what a Jalapeno is. But, all thanks to my wrong pronunciation, the attendant couldn't figure out what I was asking for. [ For Jalapeno]

    That was the root cause for this query.

    But, they didn't seem to know about Green Chillies though.

    Hmmm, thanks for your information. Didn't know about that. Next time, I am in the US will definitely ask for Green Chillies. Hopefully, they should be able to help me out with it!

    Thanks!

    Hi, Kavya!

    The next time you visit Texas be sure to eat at a restaurant that features Mexican food! You'll have lots of green chiles!!!!

    Hi Amigos!

    Lol! Sure will!
    Just for the record, not a fan of Green Chilies. Prefer them in right quantities!

    Thanks!
