“…a salsa that consists of charred tomatoes 🍅, minced onions 🧅, chiles 🌶️, thyme, salt 🧂, oil, and vinegar. Which happens to be exactly how salsa is made today in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Latini suggests that his salsa be served over boiled meats ‘or anything else.’”

Of course there’s a tomato museum. I need to go.
