He kept laying on the horn, and all I had was this bag of tomatoes..."I'll bet you can guess how this ended.

Hey dwarves are really picky about authenticity: just fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeños, mashed in an authentic molcajete and elves will just sneer at you because it isn't bespoke salsa made from jalapeños picked in the reflected moonlight from a mithril mirror by young peruvian virgins...selling a bottle of "Nyoo York City!!!???" salsa can be tough
