First it was tomatoes, then it was jalapeños, now it’s serrano peppers the FDA says are linked to salmonella. Well, at least the irrigation water at one Mexican farm in Nuevo Leon was found to be contaminated with salmonella. Which is way more proof than anyone needed to ban tomatoes! One thing’s for sure, the government is trying to ruin our pico de gallo fun this summer. Fortunately for us, we don’t believe they have the slightest idea what they’re talking about so we never stopped eating fresh jalapeños in the first place. We mean, there’s only so far a person can go for their health. As long as we have those, we can forgo the serranos since you can almost never find them in New York, anyway. Also, if you can verify that your serranos are from Minnesota or whatever, the government says bon apetit.
