[CH] Peppered sherry

I was catching up on some _OLD_(Sept) digests, when I saw a reference
to peppered sherry, and its possible uses. I have been using peppered
sherry for years as an additive to cream soups, especially clam chowder.
On another note, today I saw (and bought!) some Pace Chipolte Salsa.
Our store (SE Idaho) had it in Mild(spit) and Medium(hah). I hadn't seen
it mentioned on the list before, so, here what I think:
Typical Pace flavor. Heat level aside, Pace products taste like, well
Pace products. However, there is a definite smoke aroma, and with the
Medium(hah), I found a more-than-expected hotness-well, OK, I got some
heat. Unfortunatly, the ingredients list "Mesquite Smoke Flavoring".
It is obvious. If you have ever had real chipoltes, or real BBQ, the
difference is BIG. They are, I think, trying to cash in on the "smoked
is good, chipolte is better" food craze.
I suppose, if you can't get chipoltes, real BBQ, or any decent salsa,
it might be OK. And I suppose that it mixed with Velveeta (pseudo-smoke
salsa with pseudo cheese) might work better than Rotel(R) dip.
Done with rambling, probably ought to stick with lurking.........
