Salsa is a spicy fruit salad.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So I can put marshmallows in it then

[–] context@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

yeah find a mango salsa recipe and replace the mango with mini marshmallows and you've got yourself a solid contribution to the reader's digest recipe section

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Salsa is Spanish for sauce. So, it’s a sauce.

At what point does a tomato cease being a vegetable and become a sauce.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's a fruit, so never.

[–] glingorfel@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it's a fruit botanically but it can still be a veggie

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure it only becomes a vegetable when made into ketchup.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

when you crush or puree it to a sauce like consistency

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But at what point does it go from one to the other. How many seconds of blending or crushes before it's no longer tomato and is now sauce.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

About half a second or 3-5 pulses, you're welcome

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Oh that makes sense thank you

[–] crime@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

no it's a soup

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There has to be a limit on how much of a process something can go through while still being considered a vegetable, otherwise meat is vegetable.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Checkmate vegans your beef is made of water sun and grass so it's vegan smuglord (This is a joke don't ban me)

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

Vegetable is a culinary term that doesn't follow strict guidelines but is commonly understood

[–] PapaEmeritusIII@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s not a vegetable, but it is made of (mostly) vegetables.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

I second this!

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

Nope, it's a dance.

Ole!

White man spotted

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't grow on a tree, so it's not a fruit.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Unlike pineapple, watermelon, banana, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, prickly pears, cantaloupe, honeydew, and many others.

Or the popular fruits: cinnamon, cork, or leaves

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

botanically or culinarily?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

In my tummilarily

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

It's fruit salad

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes of course, there's nothing in it but vegetables

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

that's only if it's homemade

[–] hallmarkxmasmovie@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Jarred salsa barely has any nutritional value if the back of the label is to be believed so I'd say no. Like, black beans should have a ton of potassium in them but if you buy black bean and corn salsa it'll have very little potassium so I'd assume any of the other nutrients like vitamin A that aren't required to be on the label are also lacking.

But it tastes good so who cares.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

My continued existence proves it is possible to subsist on homemade salsa so I say it counts

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It's a mix of vegetables (which have no clear definition according to one funny video and no further personal research) and other stuff.

Is a car a metal? Is a pillow a plant? Is a human a cell?

Its a condiment.

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

it's a medium-rare smoothie

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Its a jam or preserve

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

No, it's a salad. Anything you put it on instantly becomes salad.

[–] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

no it is a recipe
