Out of curiosity, how many members bring back "Salsa Lizano" from Costa Rica?
No, I don't work for customs. Just trying to settle a bet with a buddy.
Thanks for your input.

I think that Lizano is a brand name. I always bring back large bottles of "Chilero" hot sauce. That and coffee are my main things to bring back. |

They must be joking. It's on every restaurant table. It's key to Gallo Pinto. Used to be called Salsa Ingles and is sort of a tropical Worcestershire. It combined with Chilero make the best marinade for meat for the grill. <ov>< |

I always thought that salsa ingles was just vinegar. You learn something new every day. |

I sometimes bring a bottle back but since that option wasn't available I chose "never". I don't use that much at home and one bottle lasts a long while for me. I occasionally use it as a condiment but never as a marinade (more into Mojo Criollo for that). I'll have to try it though. I too am surprised that so many regular CR travelers don't know what this is. It is a staple in CR and the prime ingredient in Gallo Pinto. In a pinch, you can definitely use worcestershire (sp?) sauce when making gallo pinto, but its not quite the same. |

I always bring these things back: Salsa Inglesa Salsa Chilero the Costa Rican tabasco Tirrazu Coffee Centenario rum and some bags of gnocchi for some reason, the gnocchi over there is really cheap. |

I used to bring back a small bottle of salsa Lizano on early trips. Then I discovered it was commonly stocked at the Krogers I usually shop in. |

Although I've never brought any back, I really like Salsa Lizano. As someone mentioned, it's on many tables in restaurants in CR. The Ticos/Ticas use it like we use ketchup. That's one of the first things I learned about CR...they hardly ever use ketchup, only 'salsa'. |
