Just trying to get a better image of you folks.
Me. Medium for cooking with, hot for eatin'. Yum ;)
-
Hot baby...all the way :-*
I love spicy food which is a hinderance in Minnesota where "hot" is about a degree above ketchup
-
Good topic.
I love hot salsa when it's freshly made, with a good amount of cilantro in it. Not real big on jarred salsa, but Newman's does just fine in a pinch. I'd rather hold out and get some at a good Mexican restaurant.
-
Yeah, we definitely aren't west where salsa is hot. Carrie is of course correct, fresh is better.
In Hawaii this past December, had Maui Tacos. Pretty good and the Salsa was indeed fresh. The pineapple salsa was quite a treat.
I've been pretty lucky lately and more than a couple of local places carry a variety of hot sauces. Initially it was one small kiosk in a mall, but one of the larger grocery chains sort of stole the poor guys thunder, but save me about $4 for the small bottles. I'll get an inventory for you guys in a couple of days so you can see the list of stuff to mess up yer innards that resides in my house.
I will say I'm not necessarily into hot for the sake of hot. I have to like the flavor as well. So the flaming _______ sort of sauces aren't really for me, unless the wife and kid are out of town and lots of beer will be consumed. ;) More importantly so no innocent victims are harmed the next day :o
-
The hotter the better! I can't stand weak salsa that has no zing to it. If I'm not sweating after eating the salsa, then it's crappy salsa. Freshly made salsa is definitely the way to go and to also have a lot of cilantro in it. My wife makes homemade salsa all the time. Yum!
-
HOT! Otherwise, what's the point? Now, I'm not gulping down habanero's, but I definitely prefer my salsa hot.
-
the hotter the better. I usually make my own. swap recepies anyone ;)
As for jarred salsa Ms Renfros Habanaro salsa is pretty good. I haven't tried the other flavors.
-
I loathe cilantro...I'll eat it in a pinch but I really do not like it
-
Super Hot! Habanero Pepper Salsa. My buddy make his own & let me tell you, :o
The hotter the better. Do not try this at home kids. ;D
-
*sigh* Mild.
...I know, I know, my taste buds are a bunch of sissies. :P

It must be impossible for a Spanish person to order seltzer and not get salsa. "I wanted seltzer, not salsa!"
Personally, I like my salsa with a hint of silicon. But eat it fast!

Sad but true...ever since I was diagnosed with the Raging Case of Acid Reflux I've been cutting back on spicy foods...no more jalapenos on my sub at Subway, medium salsa on the Burrito at Chipotle and medium or mild on the tacos at home. I miss the heat but don't miss the esophogial spasms that were a part of my life for a long time
-
mild :-[
-
Mild, no need for anyone to watch me sweat. ;)
-
Mild...flavor not pain.

Old man take a look at my life...
Oh wait, no, I'm not ;D Blazing hot, pay for it the next day, import that sh!t from Mexico where it's made with rodents and stuff HOT!
I get acid reflux occasionally but as long as I eat something before bed, I'm good. It may not be the best for the waste line, but waking up with bile in your throat is a better alternative? I think not. Gaviscon settles it pretty quick and it happens 3-4 times a year only.

So I'm lookin' for stuff. I have ordered in the past and will order again shortly, Lizano salsa. It's not really a salsa per se, more of a very mild hot sauce to go on food - rice, eggs, BBQ, etc. But in my searches, I've come across Lizano Chilero, a red hot sauce that I cannot find for sale at online stores. Anyone have a retailer near them that carries this stuff?
In Hawaii we also rediscovered our love for Maui Tacos salsa as well. Will be trying some of their stuff from their online store (sadly the local shops didn't sell anything :-\)
-
I love Hot Salsa, or any kind of hot sauce for that matter. I've got a few good ones at a local store that sells nothing but Hot Sauce. But I've never seen that one Brent.
On a side note, I accidently picked up a jar of Newman's Pineapple Salsa a while back, but tried it anyway - and it's great. I never thought pineapples and salsa would mix well, but this stuff is great!! I'm hooked on it now.
-
I'll let you know how the Maui Taco in a jar goes. The pineapple salsa on the Island is awesome, we ate there four times :-[ including just before the flight back, possibly not the wisest choice ;) Wouldn't mind doing a comparison with the Newman's.
That Lizano (chilero) is pretty new and I can order it online from Central American retailers, but that makes me a tad nervous. I get the regular Lizano Salsa from Salsasetc.com. Decent enough price, but shipping is a bitch. Local Salsa place doesn't carry it, preferring to go with various ridiculously hot other products. They're fun and all, but I actually like to taste stuff, rather than drown it afterwards.

I'm happy to report that I am also now hooked on Newman's Pineapple Salsa thanks to this thread. Damn is it a great mix of sweet and spice :)

Hot. Hot hot hot hot hot. I was RAISED on spicey foods. I do enjoy a food that makes my tounge hurt. I did learn that some things can be TOO hot. If anyone has been to a hotsauce specialty shop, get them to give you a sample of pure capsaium (capsasian?) extract. It looks just like pizza grease, and they pulled a prank on me. They put it on my pizza, and since I hadn't eaten all day, I scarfed it down...and then I started to cry, and cought, and thrash, and proceded to throw up. Alot.
But back to salsa, I make my own. Usualy just enough for me. 3 seeded tomatos, 1/4 cup chopped onions, 1/4 cup of green (or red or yellow) peppers, 1 seeded and chopped jalepeno, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, some lemon and lime juice (just enough to know it's there), salt and pepper to taste. That's some gooood stuff. Sometimes I add in a bit of tobasco sauce for a little different flavor.
If I can recoment a chip for salsa: Tostitos Hint of Lime. Also a good eat alone chip. ;)

I hate those hint of lime chips. They are just vile :P

It's only because your old. :P I love those chips. They are full of flavor. Whee!

They taste like ****. Try adding fresh lime juice to your salsa to get the same effect and a much better taste.
I usually try to avoid jarred salsa. It's pretty easy to make your own. Plum tomatoes, an onion, garlic, fresh cilantro, S&P, lime juice and a little bit of sugar to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Adjust the heat with jalepenos. The wife doesn't like spicy foods, so it's usually on the mild side.
-
I love the very hot sauces. To me, mild is a waste of time.
Red peppers more so than green peppers, w/ jalapenos being an exception.
-
HOT sauce! Nothing else will do! ;)
-
Medium. I like my salsas and sauces to have a little kick, but I don't need the stuff that peels the surface off your tongue. ;)
-
I like my salsa sweet. Vons has a peach/pineapple salsa. That stuff is great. I also like homemade mango salsa, yum yum.
-
Hot. Hot as you can get it.
-
Medium for me, right in the middle. Not too hot but it has just enough spicyness for you to know what your eating.
-
Target's Archer Farms also has a Peach and Pineapple salsa, and I remember it be mentioned here that it was good, so I picked it up... It is pretty yummy... I'm thinking would be really good w/ grilled chicken, or baked on chicken...
-
Hot!!!!! My favorite is Pablano - Salsa Ranchero imported from Tucson, AZ (Where I grew up). ;D
-
I really am still digging Paul Newman's Pineapple Salsa (I think Dave recommended it at one point)
It is really, really, really good

It ain't salsa if it ain't hot!
-
Ewwww, salsa. I don't like the chunky bits. I do like a little Taco Bell mild red sauce on my chimichangas....
-
I make Salsa's at work. Hot, Medium, and Mild.
I prefer a medium salsa anyday.
oh, and I work at a NY Burrito (a chain that has about 20 location scattered accross the States)
It kind of like Subway but wraps, burritos, and tacos. pretty good food.
I also work at a bagel place. go college summer jobs!

This is some good ****. I love hot food. there is a place in San Antonio that makes some of the best stuff ever, it is a restaruant called La Fogata, they put the stuff in jars too, but it is sooo much better fresh.
-
AAAAAAH! SOME ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT INSANITY SAUCE IS!!! Everyone thought I was crazy when I spoke about this!
That stuff is brutally hot.
Kevin
-
I actually like to be able to enjoy and taste my food, so I go with medium. I've had enough of the macho BS deal with seeing who can take the hottest hot sauce or salsa. Been there, done that.
-
My mom makes the awesomest (it's a word in Iowa) salsa ever. It's mild, but it can't be beat. Newman's comes close, but not close enough.
-
Ususally medium, sometimes hot. Mild is to plain unless you're making it yourself to your personal tastes. The Target Archer Farms salsas are pretty good. I like their blue corn chips also. Chipotle's hot sauce is a bit too much for me. I like their medium, mild and corn salsas. Their guacamole is on my best of list. I do like making my own salsa. I use 2 medium tomatoes, 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, 1 hot pepper, usually jalepeno, 1 lime, 1 toe of garlic and sometimes some cilantro.
