Default Puerto Rican Pique

I know every cook likely has his / her own version of Pique, but I was
wondering about the following terms, if there is much difference
between them or if most of them are synonyms.


Pique criollo
Pique boricua
Pique boricua de botella
Pique Puertorriqueño
Pique verde boricua (presumably same as Pique boricua but made with
green chiles?)

(I have also seen, in searching rec.food.cooking, one person refer to
it as "curtido" http://groups.google.com/groups?sour...y+lady+curtido,
presumably in the sense of something being pickled, but of course very
different from all other "curtidos" made in Nicaragua, El Salvador,
Honduras, etc. I wasn't able to find anyone else on the web referring
to pique as curtido.)


Many thanks

Bill

evidently, 'pique' is vinegar that has been stored with hot peppers in it.
the vinegar itself is used as a flavoring.

on 'curtido, wikipedia sez:

Curtido (pronounced coor-tee-tho) is a type of relish. In Salvadoran
cuisine, it resembles sauerkraut and is usually made with pickled cabbage,
onions, carrots, and sometimes lemon juice. It is commonly served alongside
pupusas, the national delicacy. In Mexican cuisine, curtido consists mainly
of pickled carrots mixed with onions and chile peppers (usually jalapeño).
It is used to accompany virtually any dish and is commonly found at
numerous taquerías.

i have seen curtido in jars at the grocery store, and would be interested
to know if anyone has tried it.

your pal,
blake

i don't think it's nearly as pungent, more like a cabbage slaw or mild
sauerkraut.

I have not purchased it at the grocery store, but have had it many
times with pupusas at restaurants. It tastes like a vinegery cole
slaw. It's really good.
