The Salsa Taste Test
A man from the U.S. travels to Mexico and asks a local chef to make him the spiciest salsa possible. The chef grins and says, “Oh, I’ve got the perfect salsa for you.” He goes to the back, and after a few minutes, he returns with a bowl of salsa that looks fiery red. The man, eager to try, scoops a big spoonful into his mouth. Almost immediately, his face turns bright red, and he starts sweating. “This is insanely spicy!” he exclaims. The chef simply shrugs and says, “I warned you. In Mexico, we don’t just eat salsa. We survive salsa.” The man’s eyes water as he gulps down a glass of water, but the chef smirks and adds, “And if you think that one was spicy, wait until you try la salsa del diablo—but only if you’re brave enough!”
