solid stuff. It's good to have it as a standard in your kitchen for some things. Don't put it on everything, that's weird

>>13207810
why not its great

>>13207869
i put hot sauce on everything for years and now i get acid reflux if i eat something too spicy or acidic.

>>13207804
Personally my least favorite hot sauce. I'd rather have Frank's or Cholula if we're talking something basic, but I understand the appeal.

>>13208067
i already had acid relfux for years before i started using it, so it doesnt make a diffrence

>>13208083
there isnt a big selection of these type of sacues shere i live, the only ones i saw in stores is tabasco and lousiana hot sauce which isnt that great

>>13208103
I'd prefer the Louisiana in that situation, but that's just me.

>>13208112
not sure if were talking about the same one because its sort of a vague name since theres probably hundreds of hot sauces from lousiana.
the one they sell here is pic

>>13208116
There's lots of Louisiana style sauces, but that's actually the one I had in mind. Pic related is my personal go to sauce for putting on everything. Just the right amount of heat with amazing flavor to go with anything.

love it on eggs, basically make eggs just to eat it, I like vinegar though, I mean, I like salt and vinegar potato chips quite a lot too so maybe I'm just weird

the family reserve is worth it

>>13208127
i really like the tabasco because of its vinegary flavor and being spicy without being too hot.
if its too hot its no longer pleasant and it kills all the other flavors, if i ever see that one in a store ill be sure to give it a try

>>13208138
If that's what you like about Tobasco then you'll likely enjoy the one I posted. You could probably find some cheap sauces online if you're really wanting to branch out and there's no variety in your town.

>>13208149
yeah eastern europe isnt really known for its hot sacues, but maybe theres some shops that imports them at a decent price

>>13208166
I traveled a bit of western Europe, Prague being as far east as I got. Really had trouble finding anything decent anywhere, at least in grocery stores. Good luck finding anything anon

>>13207804
its ok

>>13207804
>the habanero one is good too
this
imo habanero has the best taste of the tabasco sauces

I used to like it a lot when I was eating junk food like frozen pizza every day.
Now that I'm pretty good at cooking I don't like it anymore, then tabasco just overpowers any other flavour of the food and the food tastes of tabasco only. In terms of masking other flavours it's even worse than ketchup.

Tabasco is good on eggs. So is Crystal, though, and Crystal is better in other applications.

>>13208310
is crystal widespread in the US?
never seen it where i leave, is it worth it trying to order from amazon or something like that?

>>13207804
Tabasco is my favourite commercial hot sauce by a pretty good margin and is what got me into fermenting peppers when makingmy own sauce once I realized that's where it's special flavour was coming from.

>>13208251
wrong.
Chipotle Pepper Sauce is, by far, the best Tabasco sauce.
This sauce is key to the perfect bloody mary.

>>13208404
Yes it's very good and yes order it.

>>13210123
How would you describe it's flavour is different from regular?

>>13208310
based crystal poster. tabasco is for bland food you need to give some life. crystal is for elevation of flavors. it doesn't mask anything but takes everything you put it on and makes it drive an LS trans am.

>>13207804
goes great on literally anything
>>13208083
franks sucks shit
>>13208251
i was so excited to get this and it tastes like shit? i normally love habanero sauces
>>13208304
what hot sauces or what do you use for heat? on eggs say

>>13208310
crystal meth?

>>13210123
>not hot nor spicy at all
literally faggot tier

>>13207804
I usually use it for just spicing things up in a hurry. Otherwise I need to be in the 'mood' for it's flavor, and rarely use it as a flavor enhancer.

I fucking love it, nice balance of heat and flavor

>>13208116
this is the best hot sauce from Louisiana. Fuck Touristo

Its in my top 3 of hot sauces.
Id with they had a bigger bottle than the puny 2oz one here

>>13211335
i saw a gallon bottle online, generally you have to order online to get bigger sizes
i saw 60ml 150ml 350ml and a gallon

>>13210181
Smoky and funky

>>13207804
I've learned to love it since the doctor told me to minimize salt intake. Of all the sauces I keep on hand, it's the lowest sodium.

>>13212747
is it really viable to replace a lot of salt usage with it? wouldnt that bring its own problems

>>13208067
t. Pussy

>>13210123
That's probably the best BBQ sauce I've ever tried but we're talking about hot sauce itt

>>13212697
Ahh okay, I don't care for smoky flavor unless I've actually cooked on a fire.

>>13212792
I just meant for things that I would use hot sauce on. Just a little splash goes a long way, and doesn't add more than a negligible amount of salt.

>>13207804
My secret french fry dipping sauce™
>2 parts chup
>1 part tobasco
Voila, sweet umami and tangy spice

>>13207804

bologna egg and cheese on grilled toast with some tobasco, shake it on the egg while you cook it, really opens the sinuses

>>13210123
True. very flavorful, not very spicy although if im looking for a really spicy dish i get the heat from fresh peppers and just use a little hot to boost flavor

>>13210287
> i only eat ghost peppers

>>13207804
I'd rather have a more vinegary sauce. But that's just my preference.

>>13210123
This, is barbecue sauce?

>>13210200
>makes it drive an LS trans am.
under steer in, over steer out, body roll for days yet stiff as a gokart, more power then traction, more speed then brakes. ...so basically its wild and demand your attention?

>>13213705
>more vinegary than tabasco

>>13207804
I love it. But i also dont pretend it isnt a little overbearing in the vinegar department. On the other hand i fucking love vinegar so take that for what it is.

I used to put that stuff on my chicken breast back in my old bodybuilding days.

>>13213711
no he is just trying to sound tough by saying its not very hot

>>13213757
> little overbearing in the vinegar department.
i'm so sick of hearing this, stop drowning your food in it and it won't be to vinegary ffs, if you want more heat buy a hotter version like the habanero.

>>13213925
Putting Tabasco on anything just makes it taste like barely-hot vinegar though

>>13210261
Yes.

>>13208251
It is much too fruity. A hint of it is fine, but when I use enough to make my food spicy it will taste like a fucking fruit salad.

>>13213757
That's the point of it for me. It has a certain sharpness and funk that I can't anywhere else.
Using tabasco for heat is just silly.

>>13213925
>>13213939
It is very sour as well as hot but that's what I like about it. It's a combination of the vinegar added and the fermenting of the peppers first, it's tartness is strong. Some like it, some don't. Good either way imo.

I've kind of gotten sick of spicy stuff but I still love to drown my eggs in Tabasco. I've tried all the other basic bitch sauces and they're all too salty (Louisiana, Crystal) or muddy (Texas Pete).
For stuff that benefits from an actual pepper flavor I use habanero stuff like Marie Sharp's. Tabasco is basically vinegar with a bite.
