this is a hate post

i hate runny sauces. what the fuck is the point of them? you make a sauce to make a thing you put the sauce on or in or otherwise dip into the sauce taste good, but if the sauce is runny, it just, slides off. What the fuck is the point of that? It's so stupid, fuck them, fuck. Biggest culprits are usually soy sauce based dipping sauced at restaurants but I just tried a hatch chile salsa that is like 60% liquid, god damn, how the fuck is that gonna stay on a chip??? thicken your sauces people, I need it, I need the sauce to cling

Is the extra liquid adding anything or is it just cost cutting to get the same volume by adding more water to the same amount of pepper chunks?

I think in this case it's a side effect of being basically finely minced chiles and tomato, if the tomato were pureed or thickened with paste I think overall it would be thick enough, but it's just minced veg and the water the comes out of it, so, it's overall kinda runny unless you get a glob of the veg solids

The only way I can see that working is if it was intended to, as others said be absorbed by something under it, or be served inside something. Or alongside those bowl shaped chips. Those slap, you get to treat the salsa like it’s a bunch of mini servings of soup with an edible bowl.

I'm with ya, a fewt part of running the show is coming up.with funny voices to soften the impact of a criticism that doesn't have time for discussion, funny voices stop arguments. I use this voice when a sauce isn't reduced good:

I know the feeling; I'm of the same mind when it comes to gravy and like mine thick, whereas the rest of my family like it thin.

we throw away so much mashed potato at work that it's like, what is this, what are we doing? that's butter cream and starch, like, just, like, throw it into a soup or something?? who are we

consider the following: use rice to soak it up

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

using rice to soak up this salsa would just be makign like really poor, lazy "spanish rice" basically, I would rather just have a thicker salsa for my chip

i would rather turn the rice into rice flour and use that as a thickener

At some point it should just be soup.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

You can thicken things though
