Neolithics to be of limited intelligence since
they lived over 17 thousand years ago in
the most primitive conditions. Then, pale-
ontologists unearthed mortars and pestles
used in the grinding of grain for the produc-
tion of a humble bread. We now know
that these Stone Age people lived in small,
moist caves and cooked on heated stones
for a reason..,it allowed them to make
great bread. Which is probably why the
Neolithic period lasted nearly 7 thousand
years...until a better method for making
bread presented itself. Watch for our next
"little slice of history",

Kosher Bites

Wednesday Bread of the Month: Sourdough Rye

JILL DAVIDSON SKLAR STAFF WRITER

HI ola!
As you have by now discov-
ered, Kosher Bites has
moved from Business to
head up the Food section of The
Jewish News. How exciting!
And for the occasion, this
Kosher Bites consumer subjected
her colleagues to a zippy snack for
no other reason than to have the
chance to use the word "zippy."
So, with the help of Benji Sil-
verstein, one of the owners of the
new One Stop Kosher grocery
store, we assembled a snack of na-
chos made with Garden of Eden's
Original Blue Corn Chips, Gold's
Extra Chunky Hot Salsa and
Golan's Cheddar Cheese.
It was the salsa that cinched
the sale. Who knew that a bunch
of Jewish guys could manufacture
salsa?
The product, new to the Detroit
market and available through the
Southfield store, comes from the
makers of Gold's Horseradish, a
New York manufacturer run by
first cousins Marc, Steven, Neil
and Howard Gold.
The family business started in
1932 with horseradish but has
since expanded to include four
kinds of borscht, catsup with
horseradish, cocktail sauce and a
popular duck sauce. The compa-
ny also manufactures and market
Nathan's Coney Island Mustard.
"The move to salsa was a nat-
ural one," said Marc Gold, noting
that salsa is a favorite condiment
among New Yorkers. "We already
made spicy products."
The pareve salsa, like the rest
of the Gold's line of products, car-
ries the heksher of the Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations
of America's kashruth division
and costs $2.19 for a 17-ounce jar.
The salsa is relatively easy on
the heart, contributing no fat and,
unlike the competition, only 90
milligrams of sodium per serving
to the daily diet.
The chips are manufactured in
Los Angeles and carry 55 mil-
ligrams of sodium, 7 grams of fat,
1 gram of dietary fiber, 2 grams of
protein and 18 grams of carbohy-
drates. They cost $2.49 and are
available through specialty gro-
cery stores such as One Stop
Kosher and Holiday Market in
Royal Oak.
The cheese is distributed from
Brooklyn and available locally in
the Southfield kosher store. It did
not carry a nutrition label but did
have an expiration date of May
1998 on the back. It cost $2.59 and
is under the supervision of Star K.
The Rating:
Growing up, I remember my

mother always kept ajar of Gold's
Horseradish in the refrigerator. I c--/\
really didn't begin to appreciate
this staple, though, until college
when I was introduced to spicy
Bloody Marys. Made with pepper
vodka, tomato juice, jalapeno
stuffed olives, pepper and gener-
ous helpings of horseradish, the
drink is enough to clear even the
most congested head cold.
So, you can see, spice runs in
my blood; in fact, I consider sal-
sa a helping of vegetables in my
daily diet. I have a refrigerator
door dedicated to the condiment,
with four different kinds ranging
from mild to extra spicy. Eggs,
baked potatoes and tofu are a few
of the many things I have con-
sumed along with generous help-
ings of salsa.
This salsa, though, won't make
it to the fridge of fame. It tasted
metallic and was more smooth
than chunky. And, as far as heat
goes, this was closer to medium
than burn-the-roof-off-my-mouth
hot.
The chips, however, had a nut-
ty flavor and were exceptionally
tasty and crisp. They stood up to
melted cheese and didn't wilt eas-
ily under the salsa.
The shredded cheese, with its
somewhat frightening expiration
date, was somewhat bland. Al-
though the shredding made for
more even melting on the nachos,
Golan's left small pools of grease
on the plate.
The Jewish News stafFliked the
cheese and chips but gave the sal-
sa a forks down rating. Here are
some of their comments:

"Finally, a blue chip I can af-
ford. The chips were great but for-
get the salsa."
— Jennifer Finer

`The chips are yummy! The sal-
sa is from hell."
— Elizabeth Applebaum

"The salsa is neither hot nor
good. The chips and the cheddar,
on the other hand, are great."
—Alan Hitsky

"Chips are good but I am not
crazy enough to try the salsa."
— Paula Smith

"The chips and cheese were in-
credible. The salsa, on the other
hand ... ewww!"
— Debbie Schultz

"Chips were excellent. The sal-
sa was hot but way too tomato-ey
tasting."
— Susie Sherman ❑
