We live in a different world
I bought a chili cookbook in a thrift store a few years ago. Titled Chili Madness, it was published in 1980. Not too long ago really.
Page 39, in the recipe for Jay's Chili has the following note about one of the ingredients:
Note: Chili salsa is a relish made from equal parts of finely chopped raw onion, tomatoes (peeled, cored, seeded, and finely chopped) and canned chopped green or pickled jalapeno chilies. It is widely available in supermarkets and specialty foods stores.
In 20 years salsa went from unusual enough to warrant a note in a chili cookbook to the most popular condiment in America.
