Rhetorical question?

does any body know the history of this food—166.127.1.35 14:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Health?

What's the reason behind including a seemingly-unrelated thing about salsa health scares? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.24.203 (talk) 15:18, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not unrelated. — O'Dea (talk) 04:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

it's somewhat incongruous on this page: Does the page about H20 mention how you shouldn't drink it in India? 62.56.97.146 (talk) 17:19, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Italicization of pico de gallo

Capitalization (like "Pico de Gallo") seems inappropriate, but I am unsure about italicization. Loan words are normally italicized, but once they fall into common usage in English, they are normally written in Roman (upright) type. Is pico de gallo at that stage yet?—mjb 00:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relish, Not Salsa

I believe that pico de gallo is a relish, not a salsa. Should this be changed? Does anyone disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.150.253.55 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 30 March 2007

It kinda falls into both categories. All condiments made of minced savory fruits and onions are relishes, and all sauces of mexican origin made of savory fruits and onions are salsas.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 19:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology Questions

1) I always heard that it was named for the rooster because it was made the morning or the same day that you planned to eat it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.164.93.234 (talk) 15:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2) The article says, "One of the sources for the name 'rooster's beak' could be the beak-like shape and the red color of the chiles used to make it." But previously it stated that it is tipically made with jalapeños or serranos. Jalapeños and serranos are green unless aged. Whenever I make the salsa I always use green chilies. Though it may be true, that sentense seems un-trustworthy. 75.102.227.238 (talk) 22:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC) Naali (just passing by)[reply]

Michael Sanchez?

Michael Sanchez is the leading authority on spelling Pico de gallo.

This statement seems out-of-place and is not referenced. It looks to me like someone was trying to re-write the article to joke around. Deleted. HealthySkepticism (talk) 20:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The girl eating pico de gallo

That's the cutest picture i've seen on wikipedia (tho that isnt saying much) Sebastian341 (talk) 14:32, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not entirely true in Mexico

This is not "Pico de Gallo" in Jalisco, Mexico. There this is called "Mexican Sauce" and "Pico de Gallo" is a mix of jícama, orange, lemon juice and powdered chile piquín and salt; no onion, no tomato, no cilantro, no garlic, nothing else. --Maybrick (talk) 05:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
