What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I was “today” years old when I discovered poutine. I’d had fries with gravy before but poutine is much better! Where has this been all of my life?

Actually a bit of a fusion: birria poutine at the local Biergarten, SO GOOD!

yeah I just meant the green chile, how hot is it? they're not pickled or anything just raw peppers chopped up?

how hot is it?

That varies from farm to farm, and how it is grown. Many sell mild, or hot.

they're not pickled or anything just raw peppers chopped up?

Typically they are fire roasted when purchased, then peeled at home.

ooo they sound good!

i usually prefer a little hotter but if those were around everywhere they would definitely go on just about everything I ate lol.

what's the weirdest thing youve had them in? ice cream or anything of that sort? :)

Anaheim chile is a close analog for NM chiles. They are not the same, but work when the latter is not available (I lived in PA and Maryland without access to green chile for 19 long years).

Green chile peanut brittle might be the weirdest sweet. I have also had green chile lollipops, with and without a scorpion. Most of that kind of stuff is only sold at the tourist traps, so I never really see it unless I am giving someone a tour. I cannot recall ever having green chile ice cream, I would try it though.

Savory-wise green chile fettuccine Alfredo, or a domino's thin crust pizza with white sauce, feta, spinach, and green chile. It is something my Pathfinder group's coworker came up while they were trying to order a vegetarian pizza.

Here in New Mexico basically all of the restaurants have green chile (some have red) on the menu. You can have it added to just about anything.
