Chile-Heads:
I have just tried Muir Glen Organic Habaņero Hot Salsa (their tilde, not
mine) and am very pleased to recommend this highly to listmembers. The heat
is quite good, and may be tame enough for chile-heads of the moderate
persuasion to enjoy unmodified. Of course usually I have to modify mine up
several notches, not down. But this salsa satisfied my heat cravings all on
its own. The tomato-garlic-onion-lime flavor that came through was more than
satisfactory for an out-of-the-jar salsa. The main peppers used are
jalapeņos and anaheims, but further down the ingredients list you find
organic dehydrated habanero pepper (this time without the offending tilde).
I have enjoyed other flavors of the Muir Glen Salsa Line in the past,
(Fire-Roasted Tomato being especially notable) but they lacked sufficient
heat on their own to warrant mention to the list.
I ate mine right out of the jar, using delicious Bearito Organic Tortilla
Chips. When the chips got down to the small pieces and crumbs at the bottom
of the bag, I emptied them into a bowl and poured the remaining salsa over
them, and ate this with a spoon. YKYACHI your tortilla remnants become
cereal and your leftover salsa becomes milk.
