Anyone else found this to be the > same? I also found the habs in the Yucutan to be superbly pungent. I attributed it to being grown in a climate they liked. The local salsa was roasted habs, lime juice (ooh, those sweet little Yucutan limes. DEFINATELY an accessory any well stocked Twister fan would have on hand...) and salt. A Yucutan moment- Small little beach palapa/cantina on Isla Mujeres. " Muy picante, senor." " Si, si." Picks up the cup of salsa, eats the whole thing on 4 chips (small cup...) . Waiter's eyes go big, and the salsa was never empty for the rest of the night, and the cold beers just kept coming. Man, thats living... the gabacho chile picker and Yucatan pyramid fiend <<<boz>>>
