When I was in PDC last week my wife asked for some salsa and they brought me something and said "it is *Mexican* salsa." MEXICAN salsa? It's pico de gallo for heaven's sake. Does nobody have this stuff north of Texas? When the waiter called it "Mexican" salsa I just looked at him and said, "oh, pico de gallo" and he smiled and nodded. After that we just asked for "pico" and the world was back in alignment.
I just found it upsetting in the first place because (to me) salsa is salsa and pico de gallo is NOT salsa. So when the waiter called it "Mexican" salsa I was a little taken aback. I'm sure he was just saying it that way for the gringo tourist...he didn't know I was from San Antonio at the time.
