Salsa vs. Picante: Fight!

[Wag]

Was in my local superstore- saw big jars of picante and salsa by the same company sitting side by side. Looked the same to me, even the ingredients were similar.

What's the difference?

 

[pyonir]

No difference...they both suck.

I dont like all the chunky stuff in salsa, so I usually get picante sauce..its alot thinner

 

[PlatinumGold]

picante is less chunks and more sauce. i prefer picante.

salsa is more chunks and less sauce. that's probably obvious.

pace picante sauce rox.

 

[Joemonkey]

yep, what they said

picante sauce is for pussys, it's the really thin stuff, like spaghetti sauce

salsa is the thick and chunky stuff, for the real men

 

[godmare]

To make salsa, add tomatoes and cilantro to picante sauce.

Don't be ragging on spaghetti sauce! Mine is nice and chunky.

Yeah, but why would Pace offer both Salsa and Picante? They even sell them in the sam packaging. Although I did notice at my local Sam's they only had Medium Salsa, yet had Medium and Mild Picante.

Confusing indeed. I guess I'll try the Picante next.

Actually salsa from the Mexican place across the street is best. They make it fresh throughout the day and serve it to me.

New York!?!?!

Salsa or Pico de Gallo. Picante is so ghetto.

 

[ElFenix]

salsa is just spanish for sauce. picante is spanish for tangy/sharp flavor

 

[Anubis]

Umm, no
Great tip, though

Oh yeah, and I forgot green peppers and onions are added to picante sauce as well.
