Some 16th century Spanish writers observed that the natives of
New Spain mixed their chile peppers with tomato, and made a
sauce that they used with many kinds of foods.  The Spaniards
also ate this sauce.  So if someone wanted to serve a period feast
of New World foods, they could include a tomato salsa.
