Crazy Good Salsa

Salsa is one of those fantastic, versatile foods that tastes good on or with nearly everything. Trendy food-ites have adapted it in all kinds of fun ways: mango salsa, citrus salsa, and my personal favourite - salsa with goat cheese. Bin 941 on Davie Street does this tomato/goat cheese combination so well that when plans were made to stop by for a few drinks, I found myself dreaming about their salsa for a significant part of the work day.

After all the hype and glory, the Bin did not disappoint me. Served with their navajo fry bread (which is really some kind of deep-fried, frittery goodness), the salsa was tangy and cheesy and everything fun. I almost didn't even notice that their sangria (cheekily called "Bingria" on the menu) was a little bit potent and all the fruit was cut into symmetrical squares. I used to have a roommate who, when making her own pizzas, would insist on placing all the toppings in a symmetrical manner on top of the crust. This fruit put her to shame.

I'm pretty sure there was some kind of crazy pommes frites type dish with a balsamic reduction and cracked black pepper involved as well, but at the end of the day the salsa was my raison-d'être. There are some things you can't go wrong with, but they can still be done very, very right. Yum.
