First things first: buy yourself some Pico Pica immediately. Then buy me some for recommending it.
Secondly, this is not salsa. I cannot emphasize this enough. Every time I start talking about how much I love my Pico Pica, people try dipping chips in it. It’s not dip, dammit, it’s a condiment. Think of it as a replacement for Tabasco or Crystal, but with a deep, complex flavor and no vinegary smell or taste. It’s got heat, but the heat is second to the flavor.
This is the sauce I grew up on. My parents, because they love me so much started putting this stuff on my food when I was a year old. I put it on eggs, I put it in Chili, I put it on tacos and burritos and enchiladas and anything else I want to improve. The company recommends it on steak, and while I wouldn’t go pouring it on a porterhouse, it’s pretty good on carne asada.
I wish that I could invent some kind of internet-based scratch and lick that would let you taste this stuff. But honestly, that would be too cruel: you’d end up spending the whole time you were waiting for it to arrive licking your monitor.
Me, I’m nursing my last quarter of a bottle and cursing myself for blowing my allowance on getting my windows tinted. Stupid windows! You are flavorless and uninteresting!
