"Tomato sauce" here usually makes me think of the variety in cans one purchases as an ingredient to add to stews or sauces, not necessarily as something to be eaten straight. It's a more fluid version of tomato paste. Are you talking about salsa? If so I give a hearty thumbs up! Chips and salsa is the best snack food on Earth, bar none. I prefer it not too chunky and rather spicy. You could be talking about spaghetti sauce but tortilla chips and spaghetti sauce sounds rather...odd.Gymmie wrote:People in Taiwan think cinnamon is really gross; as is anything super sweet.

Do they have candy there? Chocolate? And a land without chili???

I married a Scotsman who seemed to be as lonesome for his native land as that Scottish soldier of the well-known song, so the first trip I was able to organise for him to go, a three week rushed one for me, was mainly to Scotland with a side trip to see as much as I could get away with of England as well, not counting London, itself, as I didn't like the idea of us driving there without a street directory. Much as I enjoyed the trip, being able for the first time to see places I'd only read about, the high point for me that time was the mean silent laughter I couldn't resist when Mr Scotland got lost in his own home town, because of changes in traffic signs, and when he didn't like Edinburgh weather. I felt like kissing the tarmac when I returned home, myself.
