Title: I'm sitting here eating some salsa
Post by: Tyler on April 20, 2013, 08:02:02 PM: I'm sitting here eating some salsa and reading SBG and all the sudden I realize there's sweat running down the side of my head. Turns out the salsa is a little on the fiery side!

In the San Francisco Bay Area we have a lot of Mexican grocery stores, so there's one chain that I buy a lot of my meat and salsa from called Chavez Market. Their salsa is amazingly addicting, but it has that "hurt so good" type of heat.

How do you guys like your salsa?

Post by: marshd1000 on April 21, 2013, 08:12:12 AM: I am a heat whimp! I like my salsa in the mild to medium category! If I can only taste the heat, then it is no good to me. But I was at Taco Time yesterday and I do like their hot sauce. But I apply here and there on my food but I don't drown the food in the sauce. I should also note that I get a sweat on my noggin from Italian Dressing too! :*))

Post by: TheSlyBear on April 21, 2013, 11:52:43 AM: I like heat -- anyone who's tried my hot pepper jelly can attest to that -- but there is a point where it goes from enhancing the flavor to just plain hot. That's where I draw the line. I want the heat to boost the flavor, not hide it. That's just "culinary macho" 8)

Post by: CraftyGuy on April 21, 2013, 12:35:53 PM: I like a bit of heat, but not too much. It has to be all about flavor.

If pain > flavor, then too hot!

So could I. I think that's my favorite.

Post by: TV guy on April 23, 2013, 07:08:48 PM: I'm a fan of subtle nuanced complex flavours so I rarely eat hot food as the hot >:D tends to dominate everything else...but I do like medium hot (plus) occasionally

Post by: warhawk on April 24, 2013, 11:00:12 AM: I love hot but hot doesn't like me. So... I prefer it on the medium side.

Post by: benlen on April 24, 2013, 01:27:49 PM: What about sweetness? Personally I'm not a fan of pineapple/mango salsas, though my family LOVES sweet salsa. :/

As for heat, I'm distinctly medium.

Post by: MarshalArtist on September 28, 2013, 12:11:11 PM: I used to be a maven for Szechuan cuisine, but I developed an allergy to the pepper they use to give it its kick. :( I still like it, but like staying alive better. As for salsa itself, I was never a fan. I like Indian curry and some thai food though--as long as the Thais do not use that pepper in their sauce, I'm fine.
