It's good to know Drudge is picking his headlines from 1992: http://www.nytimes.com/1992/03/11/garden/new-mainstream-hot-dogs-apple-pie-and-salsa.html
The link in the OP is a recent article from the AP.

In Texas, some people judge a Tex-Mex establishment solely by the quality of their chips & salsa. It's a crucial first impression.
One fateful day, I dined at a Tex-Mex restaurant in San Antonio thinking I was in good hands. Server brings out the chips and salsa, I grab a chip and use it to scoop a generous amount of salsa ( I'm not a dipper, I'm a scooper ). I take a bite and after three crunches my jaw stops.....this is fucking Pace Picante. I spit it out on the floor, grabbed the cup of Pace salsa and threw it against the wall and stormed out of the restaurant!!!
Well thats what I felt like doing anyway...instead I ordered my food, which was underwhelming as predicted, and never ever ate their again, and I never will. The end

Nothing beats homemade. If you are Mexican, make sure you fucking record, and document every step your mom takes to make salsa. One day she won't be around to make it for you.

Eating large pieces of ultra hot peppers like ghost peppers or scorpion peppers isn't all that hot when eaten sliced with food. It is when you add them as an ingredient in something cooked or liquid that they get super hot.
Mrs Renfros ghost chili salsa is too hot for me, but I can eat a whole ghost chile with a plate of food as a garnish no problem.

Yep, my pops makes the best salsa I have ever had.

And Drudge missed the point of the article entirely, and took it as breaking news that salsa JUST took over ketchup, not 20 years ago.

Tex-Mex is a food of extremes. Either it's awesome or it's terrible. I've never had okay Tex-Mex.
You just made me sad

White guy. Been eating Salsa since 91.
Now I make my own when I need to as fresh salsa kicks the crap out of store bought.

They use salsa to avoid saying "Mexican style sauce"

Salsa is Mexican style dip for tortilla chips.
And queso, in general, means cheese dip.
I guess I'm not white, but I love salsa. try every brand I can and shop around to get different brands. that said, I think this stuff sucks even as a bottled store brand. Not even remotely spicy. It tastes like bad hot sauce
Does this count?
Godly.
I do love this stuff, but I hate that they taunt you with the 'Medium' label. There is no hot (or any other) flavor

Also, I think I just forced the Drudge Report to make a correction.
Andrew Sullivan posted that headline, and I sent him that New York Times article from 1992 around 2:30: http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2013/10/17/headline-of-the-day-24/
Since then, its been here: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_worl...vertaken_ketchup_in_the_united_states_21.html
And here: http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/salsa-overtook-ketchup-20-years-ago-20131017
After that, Drudge has changed his headline to Salsa doubling Ketchup.
SUCK IT, DRUDGE!

I put salsa on my omelettes.
Genetically I'm white, but I'm tan enough to pass as a someone south of the boarder. In my experience of working in a school kitchen, whites each just as much "salsa" as the hispanics do. Thing is though the white people can't tell that what we are serving isn't salsa. Haspanics tell me that we I'm serving them isn't salsa and I'm like, "yep your right, it is actually tomato paste". Oh and also even though our school is mostly hispanic, our synthetic burger line is still what we serve the most, with most of the whites eating from there.
In summery, whites eat lolz of "salsa", except they don't eat salsa.

I guess it's a lot like curry, which we tend to think of as a specific food, but it's actually just a generic word for sauce or gravy across Asia.

This is my current jam. Chunky and fresh, the Medium is as spicy as most brands Hot.

God's had his chance.
The fuckin safeway, roths and lifesource grocer locations that i almost always go to in my neighborhood all stopped carrying HOT HOT HOT salsa almost a year ago or some such bullshit. It's infuriating. Gotta go to Winco to get my fiery fix. Or taco hell (fire sauce packets like what up in here...)

Get a rope.
Already made it and other variations. 1/2 to 1 jalapeno is honestly not very spicy. I use 1.5 jalapenos and 1.5 serranos; spicy enough to make you pause after a while, but not so spicy as to be all heat and no flavor.
Pepper oils make things nasty and harsh, sort of like using red onion (as opposed to white or, in a pinch, yellow). That's why I don't like dicing everything up together nor do I like over-blending. I've ruined way too many salsas this way and I've learned my lesson.

So....
It's pronounced 'Hwacamole'.
Herdez salsa verde a sharp, acidic, tomatillo/vinegar/onions-centric taste. It's not sweet like a Mrs. Renfro's. And it's definitely salty, so it's better put to use as an ingredient and less as a standalone (it doesn't have the complexity to do that anyway). Basically you just use less salt in whatever recipe it's added.
