instinctively this deeply offends me, but I've been wrong before.

It offends my people. But as a Mexican, I adapted. My wife mixes Cholula in ranch.

 

[besada]

I like both. I do like spicy ketchup, rather than regular, though. Heinz Jalapeno.

I'm not putting salsa on fries.

 

[belvedere]

Where did you buy your salsa?

All over! Yeah I've had the major label stuff, but I've also tried dozens of local market salsas and others from specialty food stores.

I'd love any recommendations you may have

 

[Persona7]

I don't think I ever saw a white person not eat salsa at a restaurant.

 

[FyreWulff]

White guy here, salsa is awesome.

It's getting irritating how more and more stores just carry Mild though, and things marked "Jalapeno" actually seem to mean "slightly peppery taste"

 

[Kano on the Phone]

Mix all that together for a dip?

Fuck yes.

 

[FStop7]

I'm shocked at this news. Store bought salsas are awful. Who actually likes them?

 

[DarthWoo]

Except store bought salsas are becoming bland and less spicy by the day, damn you white people!

As a person of Asian ancestry, is it normal that everything that's marketed as spicy in any mainstream restaurant in this country is barely worthy of that descriptor to me?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I'm Mexican, hate salsa, but make it all the time for my white gf.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

The worst is asking for Jalapeno at restaurants and getting the lame brined/pickled kind.

Does this count?

Godly.

Depends on the region.

 

[Coconut]

I'm serious when I say that the highest heat from a fresh ghost chili lasts about 30 minutes. It's... bracing.



Ketchup has no defense, it's a gross and outdated relic of less tasty times.

We might as well just open the gates and let the socialist in with an attitude like that. "Come on in Ivan and don't bother wipe the bottoms of you boots. Can I get you some salsa on that borsch?"

 

[Machine]

Buy this.

I bought some of this thinking it would be good. It is so unbearably salty that I can't eat more than a bite or two. I checked the label and salt is actually #4 on the ingredient list after tomatoes, onions and peppers. That's ridiculous.

 

[speculawyer]

Does this count?

Godly.

That stuff is delicious. But I can't buy it any more. Too unhealthy. I imagine that it is now coating my arteries.

 

[Damaniel]

I'm as white as the freshly fallen snow, and I love salsa, especially freshly made salsa.

Unless it has cilantro in it, then fuck that shit.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

I can only handle cilantro in some Indian dishes otherwise, everything tastes like cilantro.

 

[charsace]

One thing you need to know about America and most of Europe; they don't serve real spicy foods. 99% of the time spicy is really mild and mild is just bland.

 

[Freshmaker]

Great salsa brand, the mango habanero is great. This one though is inedible alone, it was so hot I couldn't do more than one or two chips lightly dipped. I kept it, but started adding it to things that need to be spiced up like chili or taco meat.

I usually go through a bowl of that with chips when I buy it. I honestly think the habanero salsa Renfro puts out is hotter.

 

[RM8]

You're nuts, cilantro is amazing. You're terrible faux Mexicans

 

[Vinci]

I'm the whitest person I know and I love salsa.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Jack's Special is pretty decent-good.

Tostitos is shit though.

 

[∀ Narayan]

So good. I have no idea as to the authenticity of this Mrs. Renfro, but god damn does she make a delicious, spicy salsa.

This is what I get. Love it. I find that it's still not spicy enough for me.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Did they really put that hat on there?...

 

[Valhelm]

It's really funny how Anglo-Americans insist that if you speak Spanish, you're automatically not white.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Drudge has a thing for hats.

 

[xxracerxx]

Holy shit at some people's taste in "salsa."

 

[Devolution]

I'm shocked at this news. Store bought salsas are awful. Who actually likes them?

Cabo Loco salsa is good.

 

[Instro]

Cost Plus World Market has a nice selection of salsas. I always grab some when I'm there. This guy I used to work with had a great recipe for some cilantro heavy salsa, I wish I had gotten it off him.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Silly white people, you don't eat salsa, you dance it.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

If you can find store salsas that are made and bottled locally then they usually stack up pretty well against homemade or restaurant variety.

 

[sn00zer]

Well tbh I run out of salsa way faster than ketchup....if I used as much ketchup on my hotdogs as I did salsa on my chips by weight...Id basically be using a quarter of a bottle

 

[ameratsu]

For anyone deriding store bought salsas, please post up your favourite recipes. I've made my own mexican-style salsa before but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be.

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

I am a white guy and this phenomenon make me angry as well

I have to leave whiter areas of my city to even approach medium levels of spiciness. I know your pain.

 

[RangerX]

i honestly had salsa today on a chicken wrap for lunch. I've seen lots of my friends eat salsa. So thats nonsense really.

 

[marrec]

For anyone deriding store bought salsas, please post up your favourite recipes. I've made my own mexican-style salsa before but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be.

It's probably because you didn't put enough Cilantro in.

 

[Wazzy]

I hate salsa but my friends love it.

 

[Zodzilla]

Already did on the previous page. Trying to convert the whole board to my recipe.

 

[speculawyer]

I'm shocked at this news. Store bought salsas are awful. Who actually likes them?

Depends on the store brand. I like Safeway's bottled Garlic Lover's Salsa. Their Salsa in the Deli is pretty good too. They have too much Tex-Mex & Southwestern stuff though. I don't want corn in my salsa.

 

[Salsa]

wrong.

 

[Kalamari]

I don't see how the author blames anyone for rewriting demographics, why make the article out to be hostile when it's not? It's simply noting the effect that the growing Hispanic population in the U.S. has on our food consumption. I know, big surprise.

If you think this story is dumb, have you watched the network TV news lately? It's barely above game journalism in objectivity.

As far as salsa goes, I am a big fan of the Baja Fresh salsa bar.

 

[legacyzero]

Pico has been my thing, lately.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I'm Puerto Rican and I put ketchup on my white rice all the time.

Diablo...

There's more of you!

 

[RM8]

I use a t ton of onion and cilantro. So good. And mine are uber spicy even by Mexican standards, lol.

 

[TheKaeptain]

all of my white friends love Salsa.

 

[shira]

I only buy my Salsa from New York City.

 

[BocoDragon]

Im white and I don't think anyone likes it as spicy as much as me. Seriously, I challenge any Thai, Mexican or Korean to out-spice me. I'm this close to wandering into the jungles of South America (or w/e) in search of the spiciest pepper.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

I eat salsa and I am white. Now what?

 

[Tex117]

Im a gringo, and I cannot find salsa hot enough. Though Im Texan, we all eat salsa here.

 

[rrs]

I am white as hell and I like spicy/hot stuff, which store salsa isn't.
