    Why is "Pico de gallo" called "rooster's beak?"

    Question #81013. Asked by zbeckabee. (May 25 07 8:30 PM)

    		How interesting, I never realized "pico de gallo" was Spanish for "rooster's beak."
    "One of the sources for the name "rooster's beak" could be the beak-like shape and the red color of the chiles used to make it. Another explanation is that the heat from the chile makes ones tongue feel as if it has been pecked by a rooster."
