Brevity by Dan Thompson for February 24, 2023

Makes just as much sense as the Florida version

I like Pace salsa.

I stopped at a roadside table once on Long Island and the people there were selling home-made salsa. It was very good. Of course, they recently moved up from New Mexico.

Pace Foods, a division of Campbell Soup. But the salsa comes from Texas. IIRC Pace once had an advertising campaign that making fun of salsa from NY.

I liked those commercials!

Old news.

The best I’ve ever had is the ‘505 Hatch Green Chile’

At last! A topic they can sink their teeth into.

Get a rope…

“New York City?!”

Well it does have a certain grittiness. Ya got a problem wid dat?

I used to use Old Southern taco sauce as a base for my Mexican sauces and salsas. It was great because I could tailor the dish to my guests. Some liked mild; some liked super spicy. Then it disappeared and I haven’t found a decent substitute. Especially since the cilantro craze came in (allergy issues). Sure, I can dump out a store-bought salsa to serve with chips, but it was more fun (and tastier) to start with a bland base and build my own.

Try some La Mexicana brand salsa. Sold in the produce area of markets. Almost “fresh” as it is not cooked down l Iike jarred salsa.

Try spicy peach salsa, a nice change of pace.

I bought some local salsa in Anthony NM a few years ago and it was great. I tried to buy some online and they told me they were not permitted to ship into Canada. Some Canadian government garbage I imagine. heading to Fla next week. They DO ship to Pensacola.

There are many varieties of salsa if you’re ever looking for a change of Pace.

Does Dan get a monetary kickback for product placement, or a defamation lawsuit?

with the really spicy stuff you need to pace yourself…

Not in Florida!
