<< I've never heard poblanos/anchos called pasillas, >>

In my town in so. california,  the supermarkets sell fresh poblanos under the
name 'pasilla'.  In my more innocent days of growing things,  I set out to
find a seed source for these yummy 'pasillas'.  But the labelled 'pasillas'
that I found as young plants at the nursery matured into a nice long,  thin,
brownish,  thin-walled chile with good flavor,  but werent what i was looking
for.  I'm still not sure what those were.  Before I learned the poblano's true
name,  I had to resort to buying the most mature store pepper that I could
find,  let it mature further,  and harvest and plant that seed.  That worked
pretty well. In fact those seeds produced a superior variety of poblano than
the seed packets I later found.
