The contest is for favorite iconic American food as part of the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. In the voting description New Mexico resident and 10Best.com writer Steve Larese raves about why New Mexico chile is the best regional food. See the complete article here.
He describes green chile as embodying the culture that New Mexico offers by being a part of the traditional New Mexican fare and its “ladled onto just about everything edible.” It is a part of what shapes regional food products, lifestyles, family tradition, history, heritage, and even weather. As Larese says, “whether stewed, roasted or just chopped raw, the state’s official vegetable (which is actually a fruit) is served for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
We need your help to showcase just how much green chile embodies the New Mexican culture. New Mexico residents can go to http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-iconic-american-foods/ to vote to make New Mexico chile the best Iconic American food.
