I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

Chipotles are jalapeños. They are just roasted.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 22 points 9 months ago

Well they're smoked, but yeah. Just jalapeños.

Almost all chiles have a different name when smoked and/or dried.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I thought they were smoked?

Wat was the story behind ur aha moment re:this?

[–] bridge_too_close@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are more peppers like that, too:
poblano - ancho
chilaca - pasilla
anaheim - colorado
mirasol - guahillo
serrano - chile seco
bola - cascabel

~~Also related: green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers are all the same pepper, just various stages of ripeness.~~ Guess I had my own dumb moment in this thread. Not sure where I read my take, but the reply to mine is correct.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Bell pepper thing is false. Green ones are usually underripe red bells but the other colors are all equally ripe. This is easy to fact check: look for less ripe peppers at the store, they will be red with green splotches rather than yellow or orange. Or you can shop for bell pepper seeds online.
