Herdez Salsa Casera

I tried to read Beagles's article, but at some point I had to get an account or login to something to get it so I stopped there.  But then Saturday afternoon, opening up my Trib in Al's Italian beef, there it was.  Seemed like a few good old boys playing Cowboys and Mexicans.  Probably more a danger to the border guard and to themselves than to any actual Mexicans.  I was thinking I was glad that they were at the Texas border and not here because I'd hate to be around a bunch of guys with the minds of fourteen year olds with guns, but then I realized I am around a bunch of guys like that, and actual fourteen year olds to boot.

I'll buy the story about cranky does kicking henpecked males out of the bosky dell.  I just didn't think they'd do it out of their good hearts.

I guess living in corn country for so many years i was maybe more aware of the generality of corn syrup in our foods.  But the title kind of interested me.  Is ketchup any good in Mexico?  How could that awful concoction be good anywhere?  I don't know how substituting cane sugar for corn syrup could make it much better, the worst thing about ketchup is its sweetness..  Actually I doubt that Mexicans eat much ketchup inasmuch as they have salsa.  Allow me to put in a plug for my favorite salsa, Herdez Salsa Casera, readily available in Jewel stores across Chicagoland, though I don't know if it travels to that other border with maple rather than corn syrup as a sweetener.  And whereas most of those salsas are made in like New Jersey Herdez is proudly hecho en Mexico.  Geez I hope it doesn't fall victim to the trade wars.

I don't think slavery is why the pc folk don't like cane sugar, after all I don't think they hate cotton.  Actually there is a far more potent force than pc and that is the Food Police which has put corn syrup on the shit list, because, well i am not sure, they are even more overbearing and sanctimonious than the pc folk, so I don't linger long on their explanations for anything.

Ethanol seemed like it would be a good idea but it turns out that it costs more energy to extract than oil out of the ground so is a net loss, but the farmers love it and that big primary takes place in Iowa so it remains,  Whatever happened to switchgrass?  .
