Hello All-
My lovely wife, always looking out for me, came home from our local HEB
market with a jar of Dave's Gourmet Insanity Salsa.  First time ever
seen in Abilene.  It really is quite good, and significantly warm.  The
books call it gustatory perspiration (or something like that) but the
phrase "sweating like a mountain pack mule" actually comes to mind.  The
ingredients are listed as tomato sauce, onions, Red Savina Chiles,
Habanero Chiles, Pineapple juice, Thai chiles, garlic, cilantro, spices,
salt. (NO VINEGAR!!!!)  For a 12 ounce jar it was $3.67.  Unfortunately,
there were only 2 jars on the shelf.  My first contact with Dave's
(another product) wasn't too favorable, but this is pretty good.
Another flavorful one available here is "Talk of the Town", at about the
same price but not nearly as hot.  I recommend both products if you
prefer salsa without vinegar.
