We're family! We're family! How could you do this to me?"

afternoon drinking alcohol and cooking green chile enchiladas.

They do take their green chile very seriously in New Mexico. So I think the outrage was more oriented at a family member dissing their green chile more than it was about throwing hands. Those are fighting words in Hatch pepper country.
