"a tiny hors d'ouvre"? How can any thing as big as a poblano, and stuffed,
be considered "tiny"? It still seems pretty big for finger food. Did you
cut the whole one into little pieces? Is the chipotle puree served on
top? Or mixed in with the cheese inside?

And I imagine it is post 1600, but what exactly does "hors d'ouvre"
really mean? Besides tiny and expensive? :-)
