Get the hard mangos, not the really squishy ones. Firm to the touch. Chop. Get a fresh pineapple, and cut it up. Squeeze it to remove excess juice. Mix excess juice with vodka and ice. Yum. Drink vodka drink while completing recipie. Cut jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. Cut into small pieces. You may want to add other peppers for flavor and color. Also remove seeds. One white onion, add as much seems reasonable compared to the rest of the vegetables. Fresh cilantro. Salt, pepper. Maybe some crushed red pepper. The hardest part is to get the heat from the peppers to mix well with the mango and pineapple. You want to taste the heat, but not create a situation whereas you would be eating along quite swimmingly and then hit this clump of jetfuel. The easiest way to do this is to do it the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator. Or mix very well. You are trying to achieve a balance between the sweetness and the heat. Your brain doesn't come across those two tastes in the same place too often. So that surprise, along with the nuanced taste of the fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs is what makes it good. As far as chips, get the organic sesamie blues. They can be found in health food stores. They have been hard to find as of late. They are the only ones I know of that hold up when you try and scoop salsa. Serve with wine. Spend $15 on a chardonnay. Read this poem - Wine Ode By Pablo Neruda Wine the colour of day, wine the colour of night, wine with purple "legs" or topaz blood, wine, starry son of the soil, wine, smooth as a golden sword, suave as brushed velvet, wine swirling and suspended, loving, of the sea, never bounded by a glass, a song or man, choral, gregarious or intimate and shared. You may want to serve with raw (or raw-ish) tuna. Seared in a little soy sauce. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
