A side effect of my Cafe Rio bashing

[FMCoug]

So I brought some homemade salsa into work today. One of my co-workers asked it was "Utah friendly salsa." My response was that you won't find anything like this at Cafe Rio if that's what you mean. He is scared to try it.

It's not even that hot this time around ... store didnt' have habaneros.

I'm glad you didn't put this in one of the other Cafe Rio threads you have started on here.

On Monday, my wife had a christmas get together with her play group. They get together for each holiday and all the kids play at one person's house, all the moms bring some snacks and food, and they basically have a little party. This month it was my wife's turn to host the play group.

Anyhow, when I came home, there was leftover food, including a salsa that someone had made. The salsa contained chopped cauliflower. wtf? I almost threw it out the window.

what is wrong with white people?

Hmmm. I love Habaneros in my Salsa.. Mrs Renfros Habaneros Salsa is my Fav..

I did have this Rasberry Habanero salsa once that was even better, but it was from some small town business that has since gone under.. It was too bad because I would die for that salsa now...

I bet it's a laugh a minute working with FM.

Agreed, I would be buying him cafe rio and offering him leftover casserole at least 3 times a week.

Well this thread was really about homemade salsa, not Cafe Rio. So I didn't want to piss off Space Ghost.

IMO, whenever someone mentions how much they love habaneros, they're just just bragging.

No joke. "I have completely fried the taste buds in my mouth--watch what I can do!"

Yeah, I'm a salsa wuss. And proud of it.

Cauliflower? Don't tell me it had Brussels Sprouts as well. Another reason why I am not leaving New Mexico any time soon.

And here's another thing about salsa - a really tasty salsa does not rely on jalapenos or habaneros. Those chiles add heat, but not flavor. A really good salsa uses red or green Hatch chile, which adds heat, but flavor as well. Without it, the salsa may as well be from New York City!

If I recall, Beto's salsa cache includes carrots and cauliflower, and they don't let white people touch that any more than Willy Wonka lets humans touch his chocolate milk.

that is a traditional mexican side dish, but it isnt salsa. If you look, I am sure Beto's salsa cache also includes napkins and plastic forks.

Summon waup, what picture are we supposed to post?

I know it's difficult to comprehend for some, but it is possible for some of us backward hayseed types to like both Cafe Rio AND "real" Mexican food. And we're not scared to try non-Utah friendly (ie. hot) salsa either.
