I get them at my local Wegmans towards the end of August. Either fresh or they'll roast them for you out front. Melissa's brand. I think a bushel was 30 or 40 bucks.

Geez it sounds like you are experiencing serious hatch withdrawal! I'm going to have to get some this year if they're that good.

To be fair we enjoy living here most of the time. After all we have lived here over half our lives. Gonna make some calls today to try to locate some Hatch Mild, Big Jim variety & Anaheim peppers.

$0.75 per pound here - a 12x12x5.5 flat rate box from the USPS would be about $18. Want me to fill a box and ship it?

I have never seen or eaten a hatch chili. I wonder if they make it over this way. Do ya'll know @sgh or @nolaegghead

Is $131 for 25 pounds unroasted a good price?

No that's pretty steep. Typical bushel raw will run $25-$30 or even less depending on where you're located.

I'll keep my eye out..........

I see them about once a year when they harvest. Dried I see in some stores like International Market. You should check out that store if you haven't already.

Ok ok, so I don't get it. I am from the PNW, what is the deal with hatch chiles?

They taste fvcking delicious. Hot but not as hot as mild jalapeño peppers.

@blasting You're a gentleman and a scholar.

I went to the grocery store to see if we had them here - they've got them for .99/lb. I'd be happy to fill a box and send it your way - PM me.

I bought a bag to try - how do I know when they are done roasting?

Edit: Didn't see you already had an offer, no worries either way.

Skin needs to be maybe 70% or more blackened. I did buy commercially-roasted chiles that were speckled black, maybe less than 50%, that peeled easily but I've never been able to do that myself on a gas grill, egg, or kitchen burner. I think commercial chile roasters get MUCH hotter than most home methods, plus the chiles are constantly rotated.

Kiss my Hatch Whitey!
