Salsa appreciation thread

How do you like it?













Hot?

Medium?

Mild?

I love salsa. It's the greatest thing vegetables are involved with. I must say that I'm a bit of a wimp...medium is about as hot as I'll go, but I will say that anything incredibly mild (like, for instance, if you put it on a salad and you can barely tell it's there) is dead to me.

Get appreciating.

Doozer has the best chips for salsa

I want a recommendation!

Hot!

There's a great Mexican restaurant here that makes its own salsa. Their mild has lots of fresh tomatoes and cilantro, and their medium is made from chipotle chiles

I don't eat tomatoes. So no salsa for me.

Allergy?

I despise raw tomatoes with every fiber of my being, but even they are tolerable when affiliated with salsa.

Nah, I just don't like them. The texture of raw tomatoes freaks me out horribly (though nowhere near as bad as shredded coconut ), plus I'm not a fan of the flavour in general. I only consume tomatoes in pasta sauce, and then only if it's seasoned really well.

Agreed 100%

Salsa

I think I'm a medium girl. I can't do the fire coming out of your ears & eyes kind. Best with fresh hot chips that have not been overcooked & oily

We are salsa soulmates!

Oily chips aren't that great in general, but on salsa they're

The best chips for salsa are the Tostido's Restaurant Style. Warm them in the oven and you got the perfect salsa experience.

When the salsa is superb I always go with the Scoops.

Scoops!

I like my Salsa hot, please. That's something I'll miss about SoCal....the abundance of great Mexcian restaurants.

Great Seinfeld episode dealing with the joy of saying "salsa".

 

[Lila64]

Maybe if Carlos plans a So.Cal. gathering you can come back to visit. Maybe it should be at a Mexican restaurant too. Salsa, margaritas... Ole!

Why do you torture yourself; you'll just whine about the drive...get healthy first, gatherings later...

Ole'...

I indulge in the hottest salsa, and preferably with blue corn chips. No tostitos!!

A few years ago our next door neighbours made this salsa and bought it to a bbq we had. I seriously thought I had tasted heaven when I ate it. it was chunky (i love chunky!) and had this FIREY hot taste, then left this limey-sweet aftertaste. OMFG. She gave me the recipe, and made me a few jars of it - i've since tried to make it, and it never has been as good as the original

viva salsa! the both kinds

 

[U2isthebest]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, hot salsa. The best I've ever tasted is that of my next door neighbor. He is the King of Salsa. There's an authentic Mexican restaurant opening downtown soon about 10 minutes from my house. I can't wait.

You can't beat homemade salsa My momma makes the best I've had. Sadly, I cannot duplicate it.

Salsa is also great health-wise, full of antioxidants and lycopene

I'm a medium guy. I like a little burning sensation, but not the kind that won't go away. Not the "holy crap I need some milk...AH! I'm sweating" kind.

My favorite thing to do is get those mini-round tortilla chips, put a little salsa on one, put another chip on top and have a chips and salsa sandwich!

Scoops? They are the bomb-diggidy!
