salsa is the fast growing condiment. Just because you dont eat it doesnt mean it isnt eaten everywhere.
see any salsa in these top selling condiments??? no? just think of it as mexican ketchup if it makes you feel beter.
Yeah. I do.
Tostitos Salsa
Pace Chunky Salsa
Chi Chi's Salsa (medium)
Herdez Salsa
Newmans Own Salsa
Ortega Salsa
6 out of the top 25 condiments are Salsa. Now if you factor in Hot Sauces (Kraft Chipotle Mayo, Frank's Red Hot Original, Tobasco, Texas Pete Hot Sauce, Cholula Hot Sauce), that brings the number up to 11.
Well the apple pie, to begin with, isn't an American invention. It originated as a "Tart" in England, and the recipe can be traced back to 1381 (the first known recipe to be discovered).
Let me know when grits and biscuits and gravy become a staple up north in restaurants
Oh but grits, biscuits, and gravy are "mainstream America", even though they're mostly consumed in one geographical area of the country . Nobody eats biscuits with grits and gravy up here except at Cracker Barrel
So what? Mexican salsa is not culturally mainstream America.
Salsa has permeated enough of American culture that it is, in fact, now a "mainstream American" food. I serve it at almost every party, alongside the Lays and onion dip.
That, and Guacamole.
This fourth of July weekend I will be serving tortilla chips and salsa, and my very Anglo mother is going to be making her famous taco dip.
(Which was a hit amongst my brother's Mexican fiancé's family during her wedding shower).
I remember when California was the greatest place on earth. Illegal emigration isn't the only thing that destroyed the promise land, but it was definitely the biggest component. Oh well, it was stolen land anyways. What comes around goes around.......

I didn't say that I don't eat it sometimes. It depends on which part of America you are talking about as to what is popular. In Arizona, it's probably Salsa Verde. In New England, it's probably maple syrup. In the Deep South, it's likely going to be BBQ sauce (of which there are dozens of kinds and styles such as mustard base, ketchup base, brown sugar base, vinegar base...) In Tarpon Springs FL, where there is a huge Greek population, it's going to be white yogurt dill Tziki sauce for gyros and cucumber salad. In New Orleans, it will be tabasco pepper vinegar or hot sauce. So there is nothing special about Mexican salsa and as I said is only prevelant in the southwest.
