I only voted for salsa since overall it is a more versitile ingrediant. Reply rossitron March 2nd, 2009 that’s a tough one. i think i chose salsa based on ease of preparation. you can get high quality salsa at the store, while you really can’t get high quality guac at the store. making good guac is more work. i probably eat more salsa in general anyways, so while i’d hate to give up guacamole, it loses out in the end. Reply jw March 2nd, 2009 That looks like really good guacamole — and did you know that avocados are high in fiber? -jw Reply Anonymous March 2nd, 2009 Guacamole is clearly superior. I can’t imagine life without Rosa Mexicana’s guacamole… Reply suicide_blond March 2nd, 2009 too easy..i dont eat salsa… it only takes ONE bad experience in mexico to put you off it for life… xoxo Reply Grimace March 2nd, 2009 “No Guac on mine” – Otto. ‘Nuff Said. Reply Eick March 2nd, 2009 I love guacamole as much as the next guy, but for me this is a no brainer given the prevalance of salsa at parties, restaurants etc. Any party or event you go to is probably going to have chips and salsa, almost never guacamole. Same with a mexican restaurant. Sure you can shell out extra for guac, and I sometimes do, but no more enjoying free chips and salsa when you sit down. Also, guacamole really has to be made fresh to be good, it’s pretty hard to find good, store bought guac. But you can find tasty salsa everywhere from Whole Foods to the shelf of a gas station. Plus, when you eat tacos and burritos, you going to have it with no salsa? Reply Yeah, well.... March 2nd, 2009 I like guacamole, but I’m allergic to avacados 🙁 Reply Zenne March 2nd, 2009 Well, I can pretty much do without either one…I guess it’s more likely that I’ll eventually meet a salsa that I like, so out with guacamole! 🙂 Reply Alison March 2nd, 2009 As Daniel said, this is a truly evil poll. But you gotta go with the guac. Reply Walter March 3rd, 2009 I’d have to say no to guacamole. Salsa in all of its tasty, spicy forms is wonderful. Well, except for this one local joint that serves what’s basically tomato sauce and cilantro, but still. Reply shatraw March 3rd, 2009 salsa is PLAYED. that shit is watered down tomato central, unless you get some designer crap with is chock full of cilantro to make the water taste like spicy water. a testament to how boring salsa has become is the fact that it now needs a thousand new and interesting twists to make it good (mangos, peaches, opiates). whereas guac in it’s simplicity is tasty, cool and delicious. not to mention the bitchingest color green ever. down with salsa, ketchup and tomato slave-labor camps ’09! Reply Cary March 3rd, 2009 SHATRAW, NO!!! there are so many variations to salsa. guac is guac. avocados, other fun things, and that’s it. BORING. tomatilla salsa? yum. habanero salsa? OWsome. freaking tostito’s junk salsa? great. salsa is daniel day-lewis, multi-faceted, able to don many masks convincingly. guacemole is dolph lundgren. you appreciate him for his artistry, but he can only play one character. Reply Jesse March 3rd, 2009 guacamole is the devil Reply shatraw March 3rd, 2009 salsa has to mask its bland, soupy nature behind those different variations. guac stands proudly on its own. is cilantro & onion a salsa? Reply Cary March 3rd, 2009 Look, soupy salsa is horrible. Nothing is worse than cheap, watery tomato stuff. But I don’t eat that, and no one should be forced to. You’re just mistaking the low end of the illustrious spectrum of salsas as the end-all-be-all. Don’t be so narrow-minded. Also, avocado is high in calories. So there. Reply Tom March 3rd, 2009 hmmm guacomole u can eat alot of and salsa if u eat alot u could get acid reflux… u really cant go wrong with guacomole. 😉 Reply Eileen March 3rd, 2009 Think about it: guacamole is more expensive than salsa. It’s kind of like why a Mercedes is more expensive than a Ford. Guacamole is the Mercedes of condiments. Reply BS March 4th, 2009 this is a good one – but it’s like shampoo and conditioner…salsa is a necessity, guac is a luxury. Reply Youppi March 4th, 2009 I know dibbes says guac, but I go salsa. salsa you can also use in, say, a spanish omelette. what else can you use guac in? aside from a sandwich, which you could use both, really… Reply Caroline March 5th, 2009 Now I really want chips and dip. Reply Brian March 5th, 2009 I have to go with guacamole. Fresh, well made salsa is great, but guacamole is better. I can use guacamole on anything I would use salsa on. Salsa is guacamole’s bitch. Reply Raiders757 March 29th, 2009 Guacamole can’t even hold salsa’s jock. No contest. There si so much that can be done with salsa, where as guacamole is just that, guacamole. Nasty tasting green crap. Reply Jen May 12th, 2011 Holy sh*t biscuits, people! You can make a guac walk and talk like a salsa, but you can NEVER make a salsa walk and talk like a guac. Keep the guac.
