July 27, 200817 yr I agree -- but this salsa came from the North side of the Baltimore beltway (Mari Luna Mexican Grill, before anyone asks) -- no way I'm going all the way there just for salsa -- plus, it wasn't cheap (US$14), so we're trying to savor it. Someone made the comment that it tasted better the second day, and I didn't think that was possible. Plus, it tasted just as good to me the second (and now third) day as it did the first. Sounds like I'm asking a bunch of people who wouldn't know. Still wouldn't mind hearing from someone who'd know, if you exist. And yes, Ken, I enjoyed the burn-in analogy. I don't believe they're milspec veggies, in fact, they seem quite garden variety, if you pardon the choice of words.
July 27, 200817 yr i make my own salsa. It's ok after the first day, but not better. The more it's cooked to begin with, the less it loses over time.
July 27, 200817 yr But you've had restaurant salsa, before, haven't you? Specifically, Chevy's? I think this is better than Chevy's, which is a first (Chevy's was the best I'd ever had up until this one). And I'm not sure how much they cooked it -- it's not the pureed variety, it's ...actually, I think this is technically pico de gallo. I like this one better because it has a better attack -- you get its kick right away, it's not a delayed reaction, like it is with a lot of them. Otherwise, it's very similar (to Chevy's). Also, it seems fresher. I suspect they use local ingredients.
July 27, 200817 yr I may have had chevy's. I rarely love restaurant salsa, but it's usually ok. There are probably tricks to make salsa good for more than a couple days that I don't know ( and wouldn't bother with, since it's os easy to make salsa to order )
