@ThatDamnCat (IMO a lot of texas salsas over-emphasize tomato and tend to be closer to pico de gaillo which is okay but not usually what I'm looking for)

@ThatDamnCat (on the other hand, a lot of arizona salsa tends to be a miss for me too -- goes too far in the opposite direction of being a homogeneous heat paste)

@starkatt

Arizona is also another animal.

Either way, we get a lot of New Mexico style influence here because it's trendy. It's okay to share shelf space here because the variety of salsas is so huge there's no lack of something new to try, and the demand is high enough that a large portion of aisles is dedicated to salsas.

@ThatDamnCat Having not actually spent a lot of time in Texas, can you get green chile burgers there yet?

@starkatt

Of course

Austin has exploded with variety over the last 15 years. I couldn't say about other parts of Texas because I don't spend enough time eating in other Texas cities but Austin has had that for years, and many more choices to boot.

@starkatt

New Mexico does have an entirely different taste than Texas. I've sampled the fare a number of times to experience the differences.

I get ya.
