In NM there is only one way to spell 'chile' and it ain't chili...

You'll never see "chili" on a menu in New Mexico. New Mexicans are adamant that chile, the Spanish spelling of the word, is the only way to spell it -- no matter what your dictionary might say.

In fact, we have such a personal attachment to this small agricultural gem that in 1983, we directed our senior U.S. senator Pete Domenici to enter New Mexico's official position on the spelling of chile into the Congressional Record. That's taking your chiles seriously.
