What is the difference between picante sauce and salsa?

[Lachesis00]

I always buy picante and I am not even sure why. And it has to be medium heat please!


I do dig the stuff!

Good question. I have often wondered this myself...

 

[OK!]

In my experience, picante sauce is a lot less chunky than salsa, but I could be getting it confused with taco sauce.

Hmm...I have no idea.

 

[Papa Deuce]

OK! has it exactly correct... picante is just less chunky / thinner.

 

[OK!]

Well yay me!

 

[Papa Deuce]

Well yay me!

I was looking for a gold star smilie for ya!

Picante - cooked

Salsa - fresh

no can do that Pace stuff, theres a restaurant around here that has the best salsa.

Why do we like to say salsa?? Do you ever get confused when someone asks for Salsa, thinking they may have said seltzer?

I said salsa, not seltzer. (George Costanza.)

I prefer Picante at home. Less lumps!

I REALLY prefer the salsa they have in Mexican restaurants. Just smooth and flavorful and hot. No lumps!
