If you love Mexican chips and salsa, you'll probably like Italian bruschetta.

Mexican chips and salsa consists of fried corn tortilla wedges and a tomato-based salsa. Although tortilla chips were invented in the U.S., they are considered to be a part of Mexican cuisine. Salsas can range from pico de gallo, which contains chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro, to salsa roja, which is made with tomatoes, chile, onions, garlic, and cilantro. The popular snack is also served as an appetizer before lunch and dinner.

Italian bruschetta (pronounced broo-sheh-tah in America) is a dish made with grilled garlic bread and extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. The bread is usually topped with sliced tomatoes and basil but can also include mozarella cheese, cured meats like prosciutto or beans. The dish is usually served as a snack as well as an appetizer before lunch and dinner.
