Just a short blurb to say I tried this last night, with Tostitos
"Scoops" shaped chips.

Good stuff! A nice medium bite to the salsa yet with a fruity tang.

Who knew Paul had it in 'em?

Yeah, I've had it, too, and liked it. Nice and chunky.

Mr. Newman's popcorn, salad dressing and lemonade are all great, but I
steer clear of his salsas. They just aren't good. they're too soupy,
with a few large chunks of tomato tossed in, and there's virtually no
roasted pepper taste. I'm a salsa nut, and to me the right salsa can
make or break your tacos, burritos, etc. There are hundreds of great
salsas on the market, and I hate to say Mr. Newman's are just slightly
above Pace in the pecking order.

Apparently someone likes Pace.. isn't it the top seller?
I liked his Pineapple salsa. This isn't a salsa I'd want to put on tacos
or burritos. Just a nice salsa for chips and a snack. Not all salsas
need to have a roasted pepper flavor for enjoyment.

Now, I can't imagine buying bottled salad dressing or powdered lemonade.

Tastes vary, eh?

A few weeks ago 5 lb bags of russet potatoes were on sale at my local store.
Interestingly, they were the Paul Newman brand...

I like buying his stuff because I like him, plus which his profits go to
good charities...

Organic potatoes I take it?
Donating profits sounds good in theory, but apparently finding out
exactly which charities is near impossible? I suspect some goes towards
drug issues as his son died from drug abuse years ago.
Inversely, I know some people choose to not support particular
manufacturers for whatever reason. I know a cop who won't buy Ben and
Jerry's ice cream because of past corporate support towards the defense
of a man who shot and killed a police officer.
I just recently learned on RFC about the boycott of Coke products by
blacks in the US, as well as union supporters in South America and
environmentalists in India.

Anyway, I like Paul Newman as a person myself. I love that a man his age
is passionate about racing cars and keeps active. I love that he's been
married a long time to the same woman, a rare thing in Hollywood types.
I like that his daughter runs the organic end of his line, as that was
her own personal interests before she started. Nice to be able to do
things to keep the family involved together.

This sounds good. I often make similiar fruit salsas depending on who is
coming to dinner to use on pork, chicken and fish. I will have to try this
to see if this can be a one jar, frozen chicken breast, quick meal thing.

weber.com has one I put in my MC cookbook that I use on Rock Fish, can't
get a real fresh Red Snapper here in the PNW.

Red Snapper With Pineapple-Peach Salsa And Mango "Guacamole" . love the
sweet fruity heat flavors

I guess...I didn't know he had branched out to produce items. Does he do
bagged salad mixes and such like...???

I'll alter my buying habits for political reasons, plus which I like to
support the smaller and well - run businesses in my neighborhood. I buy my
coffee at the local place on the corner, not the Starbucks down the block.
I'll buy books, etc. at my local bookstore instead of Borders when I can.
Unabridged Books here in Chicago has been heavily - involved with the local
nabe here since it's inception. They pay their workers the highest wages of
any bookstore workers in the US, plus good benefits. Their service is
really personal, etc...

I'll also go out of my way to spread the "bad word" about crummily - run
small local businesses, too. I'll contact city regulatory officials, write
letters to local media, etc. I've helped put a real dent in the business of
one place in particular, another place I actually helped to shut down...

Man, I still think of Paul and Joanne as "young", I'm remembering them
especially when they were the "golden couple" back in the 60's...do I feel
old!?

I adore them both, what can I say?

They're American treasures. Newman companies have donated over a
hundred million to charity.

I saw a segment on him on some news program that offered a few
specifics. They have a few camps for kids with cancer -- "Hole in the
Wall Gang" camps, and I believe there are eight of them. Free for kids
to attend.

Sigh; now I feel stupid. I'm heading out to buy pineapple salsa as we
speak.

That's what I have heard as well. He donates all proceeds to the 'Hole in
the Wall Camps' named for his 'gang' from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
movie. It is a camp for children with cancer, I think it works along the
lines of the Sunshine Foundation. His daughter is an MBA and run the both
corporations ..the camp and the food line. I don't know if there is any
family connection the way there is for NASCARs Kyle Petty and the 'Victory
Junction' a camp very similar started when Kyle's son Adam was killed during
a race.
