Cholula and Tapatio. Competitors or… lovers?
Friday, August 14, 2009 at 5:13AM I’m a fan of Mexican food. And of course, the hot sauce that often accompanies it. So, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I keep a few bottles of the stuff around. Most often my favorites Tapatio and Cholula are stocked. I really have no preference one way or the other. Both are delicious. However, both are competing for our valuable taco space. In a sense, these are the two giants of the Mexican hot sauce wars.
A couple years ago however I made an interesting discovery. With Bart’s recent random Tapatio gift pack shipment to the agency, it’s been on my mind. I opened up my pantry to find Tapatio and Cholula staring at each other. You could see it in their eyes. I had exposed a dark secret of the hot sauce world. It seems to me as if Cholula and Tapatio are lovers. Put them next to each other and you can see it in their ridiculous stares. That is the only excuse I can muster up for why Mr. Tapitio looks so ridiculous. Either that or he’s a chronic mouth breather. I personally would like to believe the former. So, the good news is we need not take sides in this so-called Mexican hot sauce war. And both I might add go well with a cold Pacifico.

I think they both taste equally good, but we get Cholula because we like the bottle lol
Keep up the good work
