I watched Jeff Smith show and enjoyed it . Sorry it all ended the way it did , might be true might not , TV is a sensitive media . Many of his recipes have been cooked in my home . Thanks for bringing these back .

Santa Fe, San Antonio, perhaps El Paso, too. (I remember those old "Pass the old El Paso" commercials from the 80's.)

One city in New Mexico, the other two in Texas, both of which used to be part of Mexico. I know Texas was stolen from Mexico, but Arizona and New Mexico (and maybe one or more additional states) are part of the Gadsden Purchase, which we bought. I'm not sure of the specifics, it's confusing, but it must have been after those occurrences that those three cities and maybe more became a big place for chili peppers.🤷‍♂

It makes sense. On this episode of WITWICS, I heard, "Chili peppers have been around a long time. In fact the Pueblo Indians were growing them when the Spanish arrived way back in 1540." The Spanish arrived, and the American Indians were already growing them here in the new world. Thus being very American. And while it didn't start in Mexico, I think it just spread out and continued there. Chili is a Spanish word, but the American Indians probably had an American word for it.

I think this show was on PBS, but I heard it didn’t originally air there.

It was their production in collaboration with local stations. This was the era when many shows were filmed in actual local television studios before that became a thing of the past to focus on shows filmed at movie lots like they are now. I am not sure how many episodes were actually filmed of the show, the number is somewhere between 210-300 episodes between 1984-1998. Had the lawsuit not been settled, he was working on a new season that was scrapped and he was removed from the network and it was hardly any mention of him again

If you look closely, he doesn't really do too much cooking on this show. 95 percent of his time is spent pontificating

LOL, most cooking shows are like that. The food is usually already prepared prior to taping and its amazing how at the end of the show, it all done. I used to fall for that as a kid when I was like , 'how come they can have dinner ready in 30 minutes on a cooking show' and when I got in production, I learned, lol. Much of it is bantering and showing examples of how to do certain things and a few shows actually do the cooking but that is saved for later.

If you make any of these recipes, cut the cumin by 75%. You’ll thank me.

The southwestern portion of the United States but not Mexico. That sounds like a historical paradox.

Well the southwestern portion of the Untied States used to be part of Mexico, so yeah.

However you feel about the Mexican American War, that shit happened in the 1840s. The cultural development of the Frontera was definitely different depending on which side of the border you were on, going back before the Civil War.
