A real thread drift, but "food experts" on a TV programme about "Waitrose" a couple of weeks ago rabbited on about ancho chillies as being chillies flavoured with anchovies and felt that the queen wouldn't be favourably impressed by them.
Ancho chillies are just a type of dried chilli, ancho meaning "wide", they''ve never seen a fish and they're not anchovy flavoured.
Even I know that and the closest I get to cooking is my name.
I know it's not important, but "experts"?
