message: Capitalization (like "Pico de Gallo") seems inappropriate, but I am unsure about italicization. Loan words are normally italicized, but once they fall into common usage in English, they are normally written in Roman (upright) type. Is pico de gallo at that stage yet?—mjb 00:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that pico de gallo is a relish, not a salsa. Should this be changed? Does anyone disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.150.253.55 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 30 March 2007
:It kinda falls into both categories. All condiments made of minced savory fruits and onions are relishes, and all sauces of mexican origin made of savory fruits and onions are salsas..  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 19:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Michael Sanchez is the leading authority on spelling Pico de gallo.
This statement seems out-of-place and is not referenced. It looks to me like someone was trying to re-write the article to joke around. Deleted. HealthySkepticism (talk) 20:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The girl eating pico de gallo 

message: This is not "Pico de Gallo" in Jalisco, Mexico. There this is called "Mexican Sauce" and "Pico de Gallo" is a mix of jícama, orange, lemon juice and powdered chile piquín and salt; no onion, no tomato, no cilantro, no garlic, nothing else. --Maybrick (talk) 05:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

message: We are now one week into an edit war going on regarding whether or not effing cumin is a standard ingredient in effing pico de gallo. Guys. Your lives are precious, beautiful, & brief. They matter so much more than this. Go do a deep dive into the history of Ethiopian jazz. Learn to cook a rolled omelette. Start learning Khmer so that you can finally get into the neglected experimental fiction of the '70s. Learn some coin tricks. Fall in love or some ish. But poorly sourced edit wars on a stubby little no-account Wikipedia article on pico de fricking gallo?
However, if you really thing this is how you want to spend your few breaths on this mortal coil:
I've undone the most recent undo (Lord help us) because its justification didn't hold up: the source in question in fact did not mention cumin. I also checked the first two pathetic sources in the pathetic list of sources for this article, & neither listed cumin as an ingredient. It seems to me that with the current state of the article & the sources employed, we can't justify that inclusion. I am certainly not, however, trying to assert that as some final word. This is a very bad† Wikipedia article. It's on my watchlist because of ongoing vandalism. If someone actually cared about what Wikipedia has to say about pico de fudging gallo, they might try to bolster it with actual reliable sources rather than personal information or rinky-dink commercial Websites.
† Okay, not very bad, but certainly at least flagrantly mediocre.

thread_title:  Effing Cumin 

message: why does it say "citation needed" after the last paragraph in the "etymology" section? It is simply stating the meaning and declension of the noun "picar." Basic information found in the lexicon and encyclopedia don't generally need citation. Dougjaso (talk) 02:28, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
