  • Chips and Salsa

    In the mid 90's Salsa overtook Keychup as American's number one condiment. So the question here is simple. what is your favorite Salsa? and what are your favorite chips? (tortilla corn chips, not fried potatoes chips)

    Since we are an international forum: are chips and salsa popular at all where you live?

    Personally, I have found various salsas to be good. The chain Burritoville makes a killer tomato based salsa, not to spicy. Commerically, Frontera grill has a nice one, but it is expensive. Here in NYC, a Texas brand, Mrs. Renfro's is actually the cheapest (my guess, they are trying to get market share) to buy, and the best in my supermarket. Hot actually means hot, not like in some other Salsas.

    As for chips: my favorite store bough were in Chicaog: I forget the brand name, but lo and behold, they are the cheapest to buy there, real Mexican tortillas used. Much better than the more common crap. It's also easy to make your own. Just buy good corn tortilas, cut them up, and either bake them, or fry them.

    Chips & Salsa:

    I like the fancy salsa in the supermarkets. They are very yummy!

      I don't normally go out and buy chips/salsa but I do get them in restraunts.

      When reading this thread, I was reminded of the old Pace commericials. They were actually kinda funny. It's a shame they ended those commericials. I wonder what happened.

        Salsa: Our family makes our own. However, coming in second behind that, I like pace.

        Chips, I like the doritos scoop chips, as they hold more.

          Tortilla chips are quite popular, Salsa not so much - jut too hot for our taste, I suppose...

            Roland, do Austrians normally not go for spicy foods? Turkish food, IIRC, has some spice in it. Is it making any inroads?

              I live in San Antonio, TX .. which has arguably the best Mexican food north of the border. Usually I make my own salsa (pico de gallo), just takes a while to chop the ingredients up.

                In Israel, chips are called 'potato fries', and freedom fries are called 'chips', so it's here.

                    Salsa? In this little provincial backwater of England? You surely jest sir.

                    That said, there is a sweet chili one I've been meaning to try. The only thing is I know for a fact the jars only get changed when they sell one and they only sell one once a year...
                    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                        I do not like spicy tomatoe sauce. Salsa should be minced vegetibles and spices. My favorite tortilla chips are... I forget the brand, but it is a small one anyways. Organic and stone ground.

                            I enjoy hot salsa, the brand of it or the chips does not bother me.

                            Since I live in Southern California, chips and salsa are very popular

                              Down here, chips and salsa is mostly for the pinche turista crowd. It's picked up some popularity as sort of gringo-mexican thing, but it's nothing at all like the universal deal at so-called Mexican restaurants up in gringolandia.
