I bought some Newman's Own peach salsa because it looked like the best thing the small grocery store had.

This was a mistake.

It tastes like peach jelly with a hint of spicy tomato. Way, way too sweet. 3/10 would not salsa again.

We can talk about salsa. I have a good source.

I live in Texas.

I can help you seek good salsa

@ThatDamnCat I grew up in New Mexico so I think I have pretty reasonable salsa opinions (and I don't actually like a lot of Texas-style salsas). A lot of places don't have good salsa up here in the PNW though.

@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.
