    i have a couple of recipes that call for just “chiles” or “dried chiles” without any further specificity and this meme made me more confused.

      Well, I think you’ll find that it really does matter if you use dried jalapeños or dried Carolina reapers.

      Yeah I have a dal recipe that calls for “whole dry red chili”, “green chili”, and “red pepper”.

      I do my best to interpret this (usually arboles, poblanos, and cayenne, respectively) and I like the result, but I do sometimes wonder what the author intended.
