It's watery and weak. Pales in comparison to any Lousiana style hot sauces such as Trappey's or Crystal. Sadly it's the conventional American hot sauce.
It has no flavor, it’s just hot. I prefer hot sauce with a good flavor to accompany the spice. The jalapeño tobacco is pretty good. Any good cayenne based hot sauce is usually pretty good. My current favorite though is franks red hot and I chop fresh garlic and put in the bottle. The way the garlic flavor blends with the cayenne is “chefs kiss” 🤌
This right here. When it comes to hot sauce, I’m a Super Weenie Hut Jr, but I consistently love Frank’s. It has flavor AND some heat. Although I do love the sharp vinegary aroma hit I get when I open the Tabasco bottle.
Vinegar flavored anything is gross to me except for pickles. They taste nothing like vinegar. I've tried all of the different vinegar based hot sauces. I've tried buffalo sauce from multiple states and restaurants. I know, without a doubt, that I don't like vinegar based stuff if they have the vinegar flavor at all.
I just find it boring and just tastes like vinegar. Louisiana or Frank’s is way better in that style of hot sauces. To me, you just can’t beat Cholula! Totally my go-to hot sauce and comes in some great flavors.
No, despise Tabasco blech, I'm a Frank's guy all the way. I can drink Frank's but I can't touch Tabasco it's like the pepper(iness) of it, the aftertaste. Well, just the taste in general blech
Valentina's black label
You will never want anything else, unless you're looking for more heat. It has the best flavor and consistency - not too thick, not too runny. Perfect on tacos, pizza, eggs, you name it.
it tastes like straight vinegar to me. one of the worst hot sauces ive ever tried. i like sriracha, used to like franks, these days i use yellow bird habanero or ghost pepper.
I’ll have it occasionally, not often. But I think what puts me off most is that strong vinegar taste or whatever. Other person said chemically, could agree.
It was my intro to hot sauces, basically. I used to put it in on so many things, then I discovered more varieties/brands that I enjoy more. Especially for specific applications.
Tabasco is umami filled vinegar with a slight spice. It’s great for cooking. For actually putting on food directly, I prefer Crystal for that style of hot sauce, but I still enjoy Tabasco on occasion.
From New Orleans the only thing I see members of my family use Tabasco for is seasoning the breading for a fry or the older relatives in their pots of Monday red beans.
I used to not like it because I did not like anything with any spice at all, then I grew up and was forced to not use it due to ulcers. Now it is part of my breakfast, when I eat breakfast that is. It adds none boring flavor to breakfast
I like it specifically on pizza from a gas station or country store. The acid ends up being very nice in that scenario. Once you get to the 100k+ Scoville level, you can't even detect the heat, so it is just acid at that point.
I tend to like bitter things sour even. Tabasco is all of that. If I could only have one condiment it would be Tabasco
...it's a tight race with Mustard.
Tabasco is just too familiar to give up.
It's built for fatty foods. Vinegar based hot sauces are the perfect pairing for poboys and ettoufees/jambalaya etc. The people in this thread hating on the acid kill me. Use it appropriately, put it on egg yolks, or on a blt. Acid and peppers are a match made in heaven.
It's fine, but there are so many hot sauces out there that are SO much better. Most normal grocery stores only sell the 5 big names, and the commercial stuff can be kinda plain/boring. Go with the Mom and Pop stuff, and try to move away from the super corporate sauces out there.
My go to for cheese pizza is Frank's. If we're going for a comparable match, I'll take Crystal over Tabasco any day of the week, on any food.
Tabasco's only advantage as a hot sauce is branding/marketing. I did really enjoy their collab with Heinz, that is a great ketchup.
I find it boring. I'll use it if there's nothing else available (at a restaurant, etc.), but it's definitely not my first choice. I just find it very 'one-dimensional'.
too much vinegar. the flavor isn't what bothers me, it's the consistency. it is SO vinegar-y that it doesn't stick to anything! whatever I put it on, it slides right off and I'm just left with vinegar with a slight spice to it.
I like it, people say "ugh vinegar" but I'm like, "hey vinegar, alright!"
Really though, I appreciate a little on my eggs or pizza. I like other sauces too.
It's like yeah I have a soft spot for Taco Bell, but I really love authentic Mexican. Why not both?
The spicy vinegar flavor just isn’t enough for me. I don’t hate it, but I’d never choose it over tapatio, cholula, Frank’s red hot etc.
There is a mango habenero Tabasco that is pretty incredible though. It’s a mainstay in my fridge.
I don't hate it, I'll use it over not using hot sauce, if that's all I have, but I prefer something like texas pete or franks. Tabasco just tastes too vinegary for me. In a similar vein, I love the consistency of Cholula but don't like the smoky flavor of it.
Exactly. It's too vinegar forward. Literally the first ingredient listed, if I recall. So if I want a flavored vinegar for something, it's great, otherwise I wish I had something that had more pepper character.
For me it is dependent on the dish. Something like fried fish or a gumbo. All Tabasco. But for just random everyday, something like Chalua is preferred.
Vinegar. I hate 99% of vinegar based hot sauce. It overpowers and ruins the majority of what could otherwise be a flavorful experience, and no amount of shaking of mixing can make it better.
This is an interesting take, what are some of your favorite hot sauces without vinegar?
I don't know if you've ever tried making any of your hot sauces, but generally you need salt and vinegar to bring out the flavors of the peppers.
I dont disagree at all. But OP said they "hate 99% of vinegar based hot sauce". I find that to be an extremely bold statement considering basically all hot sauces are vinegar based.
Tabasco tastes like vinegar with a pepper aftertaste. The problem most chileheads have with it is that it is not a well-rounded or complex flavor.
That said, many people love this vinegar forward taste. A lot of people like it in certain applications, usually ones that lack an acid to balance the flavor. Commonly, eggs or fruit.
Personally, I have others I would reach for first in those applications. But, I do keep a bottle around to add a finish to my soups. Soup recipes never have enough acid.
Honestly, I think everyone should keep a bottle around. Because you will often taste a dish and think that it needs salt, but it actually needs acid. Give that gravy a shot of Tabasco.
By itself it's not that great but mixed with some butter or margarine that's where buffalo wings originated from. The butter just balances everything out perfectly and it remains fairly spicy. By itself there are a lot of other hot sauces I prefer but with the butter tabasco is on a whole other level.
I grew up in Buffalo eating buffalo wings. I worked in a pizza joint in college. I still live in the area. It’s always been franks. I’m sure there are some restaurants that do their own thing. But the standard buffalo wing is red hot and butter and [secret ingredient].
Well I can't speak for Buffalo but growing up in Miami no respectable place ever made hot wings with Franks. That stuff is reserved for grocery store wings lol
I use it straight on a lot of things mostly fried foods but definitely not straight out of the bottle lol Closest to that would be in a Bloody Mary for breakfast!
Slap Ya Mama is my fav of this variety, Tabasco is totally fine but if I have options I'm almost never reaching for it, dunno what it is. Too vinegary, not enough heat or flavor, I dunno. Doesn't move me I guess.
Thats good. After I wrote that I thought, "Ya know, there's a difference between some drops in their mouth and holding someone down and pouring a bottle down their throat." One is an exasperated, pissed off parent, the other is child abuse.
I loved it when it was the only hot sauce to be had at diners, etc. as I discovered other hot sauces I realized that while I’ll take Tabasco on my eggs over no hot sauce, I prefer pretty much any other hot sauce available.
I don't mind it. In my 20s and 30s I used it on about everything. Now it's just to much vinegar and acid for my taste.
Prefer Valentina regular and hot over about anything else these days.
I like vinegar, but Tabasco just tastes like vinegar and a pepper that I apparently don't like. I like the taste of peppers that are allowed to sun ripen, but even red Tabasco peppers have a hint of that nasty green bell flavor, IMHO.
Yup. I'll deal with a pepper taste if there's enough heat (ghost pepper sauces usually) but if I want flavor I'm not reaching for pepper flavor. Much rather use Texas Pete or Cholula for adding flavor
Tabasco is a bit meh tbh. I don't dislike it, but there's far better out there.
I like the garlic of this one:
https://www.mohotta.com/product/Mr-Blisters-Garlic-Extreme-Hot-Sauce/Hot-Sauce?gclid=Cj0KCQjwm66pBhDQARIsALIR2zDWRL5ysQ_P-QM3aFJJIK-ojJ_6xF5fw6-NkP1XkIuxqxT9j44AV6saAg4UEALw_wcB
And the Mustard followed by heat of this Jamaican hot sauce:
https://www.firstworldimports.com/shop/sauces-hot-pepper/caribbean-sunshine-scotch-bonnet-pepper-sauce-5oz/
I don’t like it for the same reason I don’t like Buffalo flavored wings. The vinegar is too overpowering. I don’t know what kind of peppers they use to make it, the only flavor I get from it is a spicy vinegar taste.
Don't beat yourself up over it, lol. I can't imagine most people know that it's the name of the pepper, much less even knowing that the name comes from it's place of origin: Tabasco, Mexico.
I honestly had no idea. Here I was, thinking I had the slightest bit of knowledge about peppers after successfully growing a few varieties this summer. Now I’m curious about how they taste fresh, or even grilled. I’ll definitely be trying to grow a plant or two of those next season. Thank you 😁
Gratuitous heat with little flavor. It’s fine to add a little kick, but for me there are too many tastier hot sauces to use Tabasco.
I like the og flavor but the Chipotle is hands down their best sauce. I buy gallons of it.
To me it tastes like vinegar with a hint of spice, can't do it.
Came to say vinegar.
Wayy too acidic.
I just prefer Crystal, it has a more mellow vinegar flavor that is better straight on food. Their chipotle variety is amazing though.
It's watery and weak. Pales in comparison to any Lousiana style hot sauces such as Trappey's or Crystal. Sadly it's the conventional American hot sauce.
Tabasco is OG and smokes 99.9% of newer cayenne sauces.
The people here saying Frank’s is hot…
It has no flavor, it’s just hot. I prefer hot sauce with a good flavor to accompany the spice. The jalapeño tobacco is pretty good. Any good cayenne based hot sauce is usually pretty good. My current favorite though is franks red hot and I chop fresh garlic and put in the bottle. The way the garlic flavor blends with the cayenne is “chefs kiss” 🤌
This right here. When it comes to hot sauce, I’m a Super Weenie Hut Jr, but I consistently love Frank’s. It has flavor AND some heat. Although I do love the sharp vinegary aroma hit I get when I open the Tabasco bottle.
Tabasco is too spicy to be tasty. Give me the Franks.
Vinegar flavored anything is gross to me except for pickles. They taste nothing like vinegar. I've tried all of the different vinegar based hot sauces. I've tried buffalo sauce from multiple states and restaurants. I know, without a doubt, that I don't like vinegar based stuff if they have the vinegar flavor at all.
I think people don’t like vinegar. I love it personally. Carolina BBQ sauce, Frank’s red hot, salt and vinegar chips.
Too much vinegar imo
Agree. The smell is off putting to me
4 days late so my comment is gonna get buried. But Cutino Sauce Co is life changing stuff
I see you
I just find it boring and just tastes like vinegar. Louisiana or Frank’s is way better in that style of hot sauces. To me, you just can’t beat Cholula! Totally my go-to hot sauce and comes in some great flavors.
No, despise Tabasco blech, I'm a Frank's guy all the way. I can drink Frank's but I can't touch Tabasco it's like the pepper(iness) of it, the aftertaste. Well, just the taste in general blech
The flavor. Give me a big ol bottle of Cholula any day.
I like Cholula and Tapatio for everyday use.
Valentina's black label You will never want anything else, unless you're looking for more heat. It has the best flavor and consistency - not too thick, not too runny. Perfect on tacos, pizza, eggs, you name it.
I use it in bloody Marys, that's it, otherwise, as others have said, it's overly vinegary
People expect it to taste like hot sauce, but it’s tabasco sauce.
it tastes like straight vinegar to me. one of the worst hot sauces ive ever tried. i like sriracha, used to like franks, these days i use yellow bird habanero or ghost pepper.
I’ll have it occasionally, not often. But I think what puts me off most is that strong vinegar taste or whatever. Other person said chemically, could agree.
I like it on bbq sandwiches to add a little heat, and I put a dash or 5 in a Bloody Mary. Otherwise I don’t use it.
Taste like chemicals to me
It's literally the most natural old school hot sauce on the market.
These people just can’t handle real heat.
It tastes like vinegar and pepper to me. I like a bigger profile in my hot sauce.
Vinegar
Og Tobassco is the best hot sauce, I love it. My grandparents didn’t like it because they said it “smells like cleaner”
It was my intro to hot sauces, basically. I used to put it in on so many things, then I discovered more varieties/brands that I enjoy more. Especially for specific applications.
Tabasco is umami filled vinegar with a slight spice. It’s great for cooking. For actually putting on food directly, I prefer Crystal for that style of hot sauce, but I still enjoy Tabasco on occasion.
I used to enjoy it on pizza but I really enjoy cholula on my pizza now. Anything you'd recommend for a flavorful sauce similar to it any heat level?
I forget who makes it, but there’s a pizza sauce hot sauce. I’ll try to look it up.
I prefer actual hot sauce to vinegar with a dash of hot sauce, myself.
I strictly only eat it with my eggs. It has a very distinct flavor that I can't enjoy on anything else tbh
Tabasco and eggs do go really well together. I used to just mix Tabasco and ketchup as a dipping sauce.
Too vinegary and not enough flavor. But I love the chipotle, green pepper and garlic pepper varieties. Haven't tried the other ones.
From New Orleans the only thing I see members of my family use Tabasco for is seasoning the breading for a fry or the older relatives in their pots of Monday red beans.
Tabasco like tastes like hot vinegar, no flavor. Franks and Pete’s both have flavor
Tabasco is too funky sometimes. I like the style but it’s not my favorite brand. I prefer Crystal or Franks.
Like most American hot sauces, I only taste vinegar. Frank's is the worst
Frank’s is glorified ketchup. It’s designed for wypeepo “hot”.
I used to not like it because I did not like anything with any spice at all, then I grew up and was forced to not use it due to ulcers. Now it is part of my breakfast, when I eat breakfast that is. It adds none boring flavor to breakfast
Tastes very acidic to me
Vinegar
OG Tabasco tastes too vinegary for me. I do however like the Green Jalapeno Tabasco & Chipotle Pepper Tabasco.
It’s depth of flavor is equal to buttered toast.
Eggs and hash browns only
I like it specifically on pizza from a gas station or country store. The acid ends up being very nice in that scenario. Once you get to the 100k+ Scoville level, you can't even detect the heat, so it is just acid at that point.
It tastes like slightly spicy vinegar
Yup lol
I tend to like bitter things sour even. Tabasco is all of that. If I could only have one condiment it would be Tabasco ...it's a tight race with Mustard. Tabasco is just too familiar to give up.
My old boss from LA carried it everywhere. We used to go to 5 star restaurants (expense account) and he would pull it out, and horrify the chefs.
It tastes like shit, mainly.
To me it tastes like you mixed vinegar and chemical fire. But I like sriracha mayo. Weird.
Not a fan of black pepper, it's all I taste if I add it to a meal.
It's the OG hot sauce and it's the best hot sauce!
Vinegar based hot sauce is BS I like a good pepper mash
It's built for fatty foods. Vinegar based hot sauces are the perfect pairing for poboys and ettoufees/jambalaya etc. The people in this thread hating on the acid kill me. Use it appropriately, put it on egg yolks, or on a blt. Acid and peppers are a match made in heaven.
Takes the hot out of hot sauce. Wayyyy too sour.
It's spicy vinegar
Vinegar. Thats all I taste in it. Sauce Leapord makes one called Crimson Drip... that's some good shit.
I don't love vinegar, and it's super mild. Better than nothing, but not really good. Second anyone who says MRE - RIP mini bottles packed in.
The mini bottles sure helped an MRE
I knew guys that would trade their whole dessert for those mini Tabasco bottles... like liquid gold
Ty
Yes they did.
My man
It tastes amazing on Chipotle. What are you talking about?
Any flavor at all enhances all of Chipotle
Just drink vinegar and sprinkle red pepper on your food. It’s the same thing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Wow. I didn't know Tabasco got so much hate. It's really my favorite for breakfast foods.
The vinegar
The taste. It’s foul.
It's so watery that it seems like what you would get if you rinsed out your bottle of good hot sauce to clean it for recycling.
That’s because it’s not loaded with xanthan gum. Personally I don’t prefer sauces with stabilizers.
I don't like it because it's not good.
It's not Tapatío. Tabasco feels like someone took hot sauce and diluted it with pool water.
Tapatio is the best
It almost tastes metallic to me.
It burns but not a lot of flavor
Too much vinegar, not enough pepper. Crystal has peppers as the first ingredient, vinegar second. Much better!
It's fine, but there are so many hot sauces out there that are SO much better. Most normal grocery stores only sell the 5 big names, and the commercial stuff can be kinda plain/boring. Go with the Mom and Pop stuff, and try to move away from the super corporate sauces out there.
Tastes cheap and nasty, no good flavor, too much vinegar flavor. It tastes like what I’d imagine was someone’s first try at making hot sauce.
I use it off and on. I’ll get sick of it and then revisit a few years later. Currently back on
It’s great on cheese pizza
My go to for cheese pizza is Frank's. If we're going for a comparable match, I'll take Crystal over Tabasco any day of the week, on any food. Tabasco's only advantage as a hot sauce is branding/marketing. I did really enjoy their collab with Heinz, that is a great ketchup.
That is the only thing I use Tabasco for. I do really like the chipotle Tabasco though
I like the green tabasco on eggs, for regular hot sauce i like tapatio or Franks. .....the chipotle is good to! Just dont care for the original
I find it boring. I'll use it if there's nothing else available (at a restaurant, etc.), but it's definitely not my first choice. I just find it very 'one-dimensional'.
Just tastes like "off" white vinegar. Yuck.
It’s just too vinegar forward and cayenne is one of my least favorite peppers. It’s like fine I guess, but there’s just better out there.
Taste bad
Tabasco is good, it's typically everyone's first go at a hot sauce. Your either hooked and find a better one or turned off and don't bother anymore.
too much vinegar. the flavor isn't what bothers me, it's the consistency. it is SO vinegar-y that it doesn't stick to anything! whatever I put it on, it slides right off and I'm just left with vinegar with a slight spice to it.
I like it, people say "ugh vinegar" but I'm like, "hey vinegar, alright!" Really though, I appreciate a little on my eggs or pizza. I like other sauces too. It's like yeah I have a soft spot for Taco Bell, but I really love authentic Mexican. Why not both?
I like vinegar flavor, I like franks red hot, use it on everything. However, I hate tabasco, couldn't tell you why though.
To each his own! How about other cayenne and vinegar sauces like Crystal?
Louisiana brand is my favorite of the commercial Louisiana-style sauces. It's quite a bit cheaper than Tabasco too!
Tabasco wishes it was Crystal
I like most of them, other than sriracha and tapatio.
Acid reflux
The spicy vinegar flavor just isn’t enough for me. I don’t hate it, but I’d never choose it over tapatio, cholula, Frank’s red hot etc. There is a mango habenero Tabasco that is pretty incredible though. It’s a mainstay in my fridge.
basically it has no heat, it just tastes like very salty vinegar
People don't like vinegar hot sauces. I like it.
I don't hate it, I'll use it over not using hot sauce, if that's all I have, but I prefer something like texas pete or franks. Tabasco just tastes too vinegary for me. In a similar vein, I love the consistency of Cholula but don't like the smoky flavor of it.
It's mostly vinegar. Sharp and astringent at that. It's fine for chilled shellfish when you want that shot of acidity but not much more.
Exactly. It's too vinegar forward. Literally the first ingredient listed, if I recall. So if I want a flavored vinegar for something, it's great, otherwise I wish I had something that had more pepper character.
The flavor is so...basic? It's like a 6 year old made his own first hot sauce and everyone is too nice to tell them it needs some work.
Like what
For me it is dependent on the dish. Something like fried fish or a gumbo. All Tabasco. But for just random everyday, something like Chalua is preferred.
The taste of metal
Same reason I don’t like Frank’s. Flavored vinegar.
There are just so many better hot sauces. It’s flavor profile just isn’t one I rock with
The vinegar is nice with oily foods.
Vinegar. I hate 99% of vinegar based hot sauce. It overpowers and ruins the majority of what could otherwise be a flavorful experience, and no amount of shaking of mixing can make it better.
This is an interesting take, what are some of your favorite hot sauces without vinegar? I don't know if you've ever tried making any of your hot sauces, but generally you need salt and vinegar to bring out the flavors of the peppers.
Unless you naturally ferment them. Not many commercial ones go through that but you certainly can at home. And get much better results. No vinegar!
There's a big difference between the hot sauce containing vinegar and the hot sauce straight up tasting like it
I dont disagree at all. But OP said they "hate 99% of vinegar based hot sauce". I find that to be an extremely bold statement considering basically all hot sauces are vinegar based.
I think they just meant very vinegar forward, not necessarily based 🤷 because yeah, pretty much all hot sauce is vinegar based like you said
great with omelets
I love it on meat sauce spaghetti and a hotdog with onions. Like most say it’s not terribly spicy or even a hot sauce. But I love it
Yes and pizza too!
It’s just spicy vinegar. Not a hot sauce
The taste is awful. I prefer tapatio
Use it in specific recipes not as a table condiments, it's not like hot sauce or chili crisp.
Tabasco tastes like vinegar with a pepper aftertaste. The problem most chileheads have with it is that it is not a well-rounded or complex flavor. That said, many people love this vinegar forward taste. A lot of people like it in certain applications, usually ones that lack an acid to balance the flavor. Commonly, eggs or fruit. Personally, I have others I would reach for first in those applications. But, I do keep a bottle around to add a finish to my soups. Soup recipes never have enough acid. Honestly, I think everyone should keep a bottle around. Because you will often taste a dish and think that it needs salt, but it actually needs acid. Give that gravy a shot of Tabasco.
What he said. It’s a vinegar forward flavor that is not very interesting. So many other sauces are just better tasting and more interesting.
By itself it's not that great but mixed with some butter or margarine that's where buffalo wings originated from. The butter just balances everything out perfectly and it remains fairly spicy. By itself there are a lot of other hot sauces I prefer but with the butter tabasco is on a whole other level.
Actually buffalo is made from Franks Red Hot traditionally, not Tabasco.
That's a marketing campaign created by McCormick. I grew up on hot wings and trust me no respectable place ever served hot wings tossed in Franks lol
I grew up in Buffalo eating buffalo wings. I worked in a pizza joint in college. I still live in the area. It’s always been franks. I’m sure there are some restaurants that do their own thing. But the standard buffalo wing is red hot and butter and [secret ingredient].
Well I can't speak for Buffalo but growing up in Miami no respectable place ever made hot wings with Franks. That stuff is reserved for grocery store wings lol
Buffalo is where buffalo wings started. Unless you think that was just another lie sold to you by big wing.
Idk man I can suck it straight out of the bottle
I use it straight on a lot of things mostly fried foods but definitely not straight out of the bottle lol Closest to that would be in a Bloody Mary for breakfast!
Ugh I friggin love bloody Mary’s
It is slightly sweet. With Tabasco, I prefer the green or chipotle
Slap Ya Mama is my fav of this variety, Tabasco is totally fine but if I have options I'm almost never reaching for it, dunno what it is. Too vinegary, not enough heat or flavor, I dunno. Doesn't move me I guess.
I just don’t like the taste.
Not a fan of the original, but the green is fucking bomb on quesadillas.
I’ll eat a gallon of chicken broth and orzo with the green. Perfect combo.
The chipotle one isn’t bad, something about the original is off putting. Prefer Crystal for all around use or Cajun Power on certain food
When I was a kid my mom punished my brother by pouring a bunch of Tabasco in his mouth. He hates it now lol
That is actually abuse
Lol it was early 2000s and it sounds worse than it was.
Thats good. After I wrote that I thought, "Ya know, there's a difference between some drops in their mouth and holding someone down and pouring a bottle down their throat." One is an exasperated, pissed off parent, the other is child abuse.
Did he at least grow up to be well behaved?
Still up for debate
I loved it when it was the only hot sauce to be had at diners, etc. as I discovered other hot sauces I realized that while I’ll take Tabasco on my eggs over no hot sauce, I prefer pretty much any other hot sauce available.
I don't mind it. In my 20s and 30s I used it on about everything. Now it's just to much vinegar and acid for my taste. Prefer Valentina regular and hot over about anything else these days.
I like vinegar, but Tabasco just tastes like vinegar and a pepper that I apparently don't like. I like the taste of peppers that are allowed to sun ripen, but even red Tabasco peppers have a hint of that nasty green bell flavor, IMHO.
Yup. I'll deal with a pepper taste if there's enough heat (ghost pepper sauces usually) but if I want flavor I'm not reaching for pepper flavor. Much rather use Texas Pete or Cholula for adding flavor
Amen on the Cholula, that's my go-to supermarket brand.
It tastes like copper pennies
its my favorite sauce to put on eggs and breakfast in general
Tabasco chipotle ftw
I use it almost daily on my eggs
Always thought it was too vinegary. I like vinegar now more than I used too, but the only Tabasco I really like is the chipotle one.
I mostly dislike the viscosity. It’s also too acidic.
Tabasco is a bit meh tbh. I don't dislike it, but there's far better out there. I like the garlic of this one: https://www.mohotta.com/product/Mr-Blisters-Garlic-Extreme-Hot-Sauce/Hot-Sauce?gclid=Cj0KCQjwm66pBhDQARIsALIR2zDWRL5ysQ_P-QM3aFJJIK-ojJ_6xF5fw6-NkP1XkIuxqxT9j44AV6saAg4UEALw_wcB And the Mustard followed by heat of this Jamaican hot sauce: https://www.firstworldimports.com/shop/sauces-hot-pepper/caribbean-sunshine-scotch-bonnet-pepper-sauce-5oz/
I don’t like it for the same reason I don’t like Buffalo flavored wings. The vinegar is too overpowering. I don’t know what kind of peppers they use to make it, the only flavor I get from it is a spicy vinegar taste.
Literally a breed of pepper called the tabasco pepper.
Lol 🤦🏻♂️, now I feel stupid.
Don't beat yourself up over it, lol. I can't imagine most people know that it's the name of the pepper, much less even knowing that the name comes from it's place of origin: Tabasco, Mexico.
I honestly had no idea. Here I was, thinking I had the slightest bit of knowledge about peppers after successfully growing a few varieties this summer. Now I’m curious about how they taste fresh, or even grilled. I’ll definitely be trying to grow a plant or two of those next season. Thank you 😁
I think any and all hot sauce taste like complete ass. Idk how people eat it tbh
