Salsa

[Conchaga]

Does anyone else around here enjoy salsa? I went to a local christmas fair and found a booth selling about 30 different types of salsa and they had free samples out for all of the varieties with signs telling you how hot they were. So, I started at the lowest end of spice and worked my way up. These guys had some amazing salsas. I ended up coming home with four jars of salsa, each one containing a different type. They had garlic and olive salsa, garden fresh cilantro salsa, raspberry bbq chipotle, and another which I can't remember. Anyway, I was eating some of the raspberry bbq chipotle salsa and I just couldn't stop. I must've worked my way down a third of the jar before I had my fill. And at $4 a pop it was definitely worth the money. Some of the best salsas I've ever tasted.

Feel free to explain some of the salsas that you folks have had and enjoyed the most. I absolutely love tortilla chips and salsa for a snack.

By the way, their site has a whole bunch of really cool recipes that you can use their salsas in.

I love salsa. While I'm fond of making a homemade pico de gallo when there's an abundance of fresh tomatoes, I'm not above buying jarred brands. In fact, I think Pace Picante Salsa, medium heat, is an excellent salsa. I enjoy it with chips and flautas and burritos.

for a higher-end brand, I favor desert pepper roasted tomato salsa, as well as many of their other products.

Excellent thread, Conchaga, I commend you for it. I look forward to looking around the salsa website you linked above.

I tend more towards hot sauces, than salsa.

My favorite was called "Extreme Damage" and showed a burning skeleton on the label. Not as hot as Dave's Hell Sauce, and had a good flavor.

There's a store near me that is devoted to nothing but hot sauce. Lemme see if I can't find a link. The whole place is crammed ceiling to floor with hundreds of hot sauces. My exgirlfriend's uncle runs the place. Really great guy.

There you go. Great store.

 

[Cranky Bastard]

Cool. I misquoted. Suzie's reminded me it's Dave's Insanity sauce.

I have some Melinda's Habanero Garlic in the fridge, too. I like putting it on my home-made burritos.

Caribbean style sauces are called 'jerk' spices.

any salsa, sauce or curry that goes over the 'too hot' mark that you can't taste, well... just isn't food

Unless what you're eating tastes like cardboard.

I tell the waitress to bring me Tobasco when there's a new cook. That way if it sucks shit, I can douse the breakfast and drown the taste.

They're always relieved when my plate doesn't have pools of red sauce floating around.

Pppbbt.

When eating at a restaurant and the cook can't get it right is not an indicator of me not knowing what good food is.
