Why can't I find a poblano pepper?

Question

Do certain peppers go out of season? I'm going to substitute a pasillo pepper instead is this similar?

Answer 1

Your store obviously isn't carrying them for some reason. Use a similar one or ask your store to order them in if you use them often. Try Giant Eagle or Wal-mart.

Answer 2

I saw them at Walmart on Monday, and at Kroger yesterday ... LOTS of them .......(note:  It's only jalapeno and serrano peppers that are suspected of salmonella)

Answer 3

They are at the Walmart Super Center.

Answer 4

according to wikipedia, it (pasillo)is the same thing.

Answer 5

I was just at Walmart a few hours ago. They have them.

Answer 6

I did hear last month that this pepper was found to be the cause of alot of people being sick...

They are only around in small amounts, and some places refuse to even carry them at all.!!
