THE TYPES OF TABASCO

Some of these are completely new to me.

no gay "i prefer to use frank's" answers because i prefer others in general too but fuk u this is about tabasco.

i picked green!

Yeah I was about to post what I use instead but I shall refrain. Next time I'm in a restaurant (only time I use Tabasco) I'll try the green.

i have about 40 various bottles of hot sauce in my house. original tabasco basically sucks in the grand scheme of hot sauces but it is useful for a couple of things and also in a pinch.

xpost christ wtf

gotta be the original, though the habanero does intrigue me.

I like the idea of setting a world record by cooking the world's largest mess of scrambled eggs, then lightly seasoning them with a gallon of tabasco.

Someone gave me Tabasco soy sauce recently.

Gotta be original really. ALthough there are many better hot sauces out there, cf. Encona.

i like how the chipotle label is all singed like oohwee this sauce right heres on fire

but i think i like green the best

I want that ketchup.

i really like that heinz "kick'rz" ketchup :x

I like it too :(

I'm all about the habenero at the moment, it's great in omelettes for a little extra kick.

i don't actually eat food without putting hot sauce on it. like how nabisco is gay for salt, i am gay for hot sauce. i would go through one of those gallons in 2 weeks u_u

I like Tabasco, esp. the Chipotle one and the Habanero. But this stuff is the best (at least for tangy spicy bottled condiments, not spicy stuff in general):

habanero or chipotle are the only acceptable answers people

all other options are as they say "weak sauce"

Nah, you'd just end up with 40 gallon jugs of different hot sauces in your house.

beartraps

Someone send my some Crystal pls, I'm out.

I like that GIANT COCK up there /\ it looks tasty.

i don't actually eat food without putting hot sauce on it.

Almost everything I eat is topped with either red pepper flakes or very hot salsa. I don't really like the flavor of Tabasco and other hot sauces though. There are a couple of non-Tabascos that I do employ with greens though.

I actually really like the chipotle tabasco. Never had the habanero or the sweet & spicy. The other two are just okay.

the green is relatively mild, I use it in guacamole "by request"

what's the sweet & spicy like? the brown color looks gross

I don't like original. Tough choice between green and chipotle, will probably go with green.

*refrains from re-igniting guacamole wars*

"the brown color looks gross"

The brown color is the chipotle. It's basically the color of A1 (but a little thinner obv.)

had chipotle for the first time the other day, it gets my vote

I like that GIANT COCK up there /\ it looks tasty.

yea that cock is HOT STUFF

(voted original, never had chipotle)

i like the green one because it tastes green if that makes sense. it's not v spicy though so i have to use a half bottle at a time.

i eat the green nearly every day. it's good.

other than that and the red, never had any of these.

it does taste green!

It's base is probably tomatillo rather than tomato, no?

i'd love to go the tabasco island

yeah i mean does anyone reaaaally even like tabasco

it is subpar fo sure

wait...none of them are tomato based afaik

Yeah it's just peppers and vinegar, I think.

yeah i mean does anyone reaaaally even like tabasco

Not really. It's too boring for me.

The brown color is the chipotle

whew ok i like chipotle salsa etc which is brownish come to think abt it. i was afraid S&S tabasco was sweetened w/chocolate like mole in a bottle or something...anyway original gets my (uninformed) vote.

I think tha green is jalapeno?

it doesnt taste that good

i like their labels tho. and their island.

packaging overall: A

I'm missing the island.

Tapatio!

^^ I have consumed this.

Those big jugs of hot sauce are wrong. Hot sauce should come in tiny bottles, because you're like "WAU it must be really spicy and you must not need to use very much and that's why it's in a tiny bottle." Big bottles imply you're going to need to use like a cup of the stuff at a time.

no gay "i prefer to use frank's" answers because i prefer others in general too but fuk u this is about tabasco.

xxpost Choulua! It has a wooden top! Also Lousiana Hot Sauce. (sorry Ally)

xpost I think you do need to use a cup at a time with most Tabasco.

N/A, nobody likes a thread Nazi.

yeah i mean does anyone reaaaally even like tabasco

well... I mean... yeah, I do. It's literally nothing but red pepper, salt, and vinegar, but that's it's charm. It's good on so many things, because it's not really as much a flavor as a flavor enhancer.

I didn't know about that island thing at all! Very cool - is it like some kind of natural thing in the middle of the swamp or is it completely artificial?

SIG HEIL

Search & Destroy: Hot Sauce
What is your favorite hot sauce?
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=66&threadid=17

I think the vinegar is key to why this is U&K for greens.

well in general heat is a flavor enhancer. but the original tabasco does have its own distinct flavor. i mean youve got your ingredients, but then theres waht you do w/them. xp

cooking with tabasco is a fine way to use it

i have to use cupfuls of any hot sauce, so i'm not holding relative mildness against tabasco personally. and yeah, jhosh correct, what on earth are you talking about re: not having a flavor?

there is also a nb thred about hot sauces

i mean youve got your ingredients, but then theres waht you do w/them.

SAGE

GREEN, BITCHES.

Yes, sage is an ingredient. Good job.

xpost

Much of ILx is not Noize. Also unlike all the links n/a posted, this is a POLL. about one type of sauce.

well, original tabasco has a flavor in the way salt has a flavor, of course, but Tabasco doesn't have the complex flavor of, like, Sriracha, which I'm speculating is why people find it boring. But I think it's supposed to be exactly what it is, and no more, and it's classic and I like it.

Also unlike all the links n/a posted, this is a POLL. about one type of sauce.

YES WHICH IS WHY I AM BEING A "THREAD NAZI" ABOUT PEOPLE GOING "WAA WAA I LIKE CHOLULA WAA WAA"

I hate you people

Green basically tastes like jalapeno vinegar, but it's still my favorite for some reason.

because jalapeno vinegar is a delicious idea

xxxpost

We can talk about whatever we like. Who are you, Kate?

Also there is another ketchup made by Tabasco:

http://www.tabasco.com/images/content/mc_farms_ketchup.gif

well, you can talk about whatever you like, it's a free message board, but it is kind of dickish to keep butting into a conversation specifically about which of these five things is the best to keep pointing out that you don't like any of those five things. we get it.

also that ketchup is in an awesome bottle!

garlic!! i have a lot of affection for green, second favorite, bc i associate it with jazzing up crappy papa john's pizza in college but i also sort of burned out on it after four years of that jazz. original recipe is gross

ally, do you think you might have an uh under-performing palate? a friend of mine was just speculating abt this. but she puts hot sauce, lime and tons salt on everything. thats 3 flavor enhancers right there. i mean she could just be mexican or bhutanese but she's not.

xxpost

FTR, several people on this thread have given their alternatives. I
believed I was the last one to give in and do so and I apologized to you Ally when I did.

If people don't want a topic discussed, they shouldn't start a damn thread.

The habanero is super-hot. Maybe i'm a pussy. I'll go with original.

Habanero is indeed the hottest pepper except for that one in Nepal that can't be exported.

its possible to make a habanero sauce thats not that hot

But that defeats the purpose!

it has great flavor too

I've probably missed this due to the blinding hotness of all habanero-related things I've had.

oh its so smoky and good

I think Jess, FB, and I should go into business marketing a Nipsy Russell flavor to tabasco.

Garlic...I went through a large bottle in a day and half, sprinkling it on fresh, crusty bread. Habanero is good too, but in hot sauce-deprived Ireland I have to take whatever I can get.

Green all the way. I haven't tried the garlic. If it's as good as ABC and Rottenhat seem to think, I'll head out to the grocery store later and pick some up. However, I think that going through an entire bottle in a day in a half might lead to more than just a rotten hat, if you catch my drift. Yikes!

Habanero is too much for the wuss known as Magill.

the chipotle one is very very good.

my sister introduced me to the chipotle one. i'm normally skeptical of chipotle but it's great.

though not better than green!

sorry, off-topic but just came across this:

http://www.shoppinglouisiana.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/Caj-Inj-trio.gif

I like the chipotle one specifically because it's fairly mild and mellow -- you can actually spread it on like a heavy sauce, which is useful if you're eating something bland and want saucy coverage, not just a few drops of zing.

Also good for dumping on POACHED EGGS, nomnomnom.

tobasco sauce

No, it was grozart who did.

The hottest pepper in the world comes from Eastern India, and is, in Scovilles, about twice as hot as the hottest habanero. And it is very hard to get outside of the immediate region, much less the country.

As for Tabasco, I dig on the green. The chipotle is pretty good, too, but I like Tapatio for my chipotle-style hot sauce.

You live in Mississippi, spend a lot of time in New Orleans, then move to Northern Mexico, all the while cooking and having a crazy, hot pepper cultivating uncle, you develop a taste for these things.

i eat the chipotle one straight on crackers somethimes

fuck sriracha. original flavor is the best of the tabascos.

hot hot hot

Original. Too vinegary for some uses, but otherwise, a great all-purpose condiment. Hot sauce people don't seem to respect it, which is sad. Why I respect it: peppers, vinegar and salt. That's the entire ingredient list.

The hottest pepper in the world comes from Eastern India, and is, in Scovilles, about twice as hot as the hottest habanero.

wiki says it's more... 350,000 scovilles for the hottest habanero, vs. over a million for the Naga Jolokia

DAMN!

My recall of the disparity was obv. effected by my consuming a Guatemalan Insanity Pepper.

i have done this too "sometimes" meaning hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times :\

^yes

(except w/some kind of Louisiana hot sauce and maybe cheese)

have you guys tried tabasco chocolate? its yum

QUE?!?!?!

omfg you are not lying

u can keep your weed in the cans when you're done

WAIT THERE IS ALSO TABASCO LOLLIPOPS!!

i eat tabasco pepper jelly by the jar.

there was just a jonathan gold restaurant review in the la weekly about this southern thai restaurant in my hood that's supposedly spicier than any thai food any american has ever tasted ever.

Snak King® Pork Cracklins Spiced with TABASCO® brand Seasonings

These products are no longer available.

lol

"cracklins"

I would eat anything named "pork cracklins".

Srsly, it could be "Swamp Bucket honey-roasted frosted pork cracklins", and I would eat it.

I had some pork cracklins as a bar snack last time I was in New Orleans.

pork cracklins = pork rinds, or is this some new fantastic culinary adventure?

nope, you got it right the first time

that's what I was wondering

i always vote chipotle whenever possible

homemade sauce is the best.... we made some habanero and mango hot sauce at the weekend, and it's awesome...

we have about 130 chile plants on our rooftop and we're overrun with the things.. Just tasted our first tabasco chile of the season, and it's much hotter than i expected...

having said that, Tabasco sauce is too vinegary and watery for my taste..

one time i put 100 Naga Jolokia right in my eye

ow!

original tabasco taste weird

130 chili plants is a bit excessive - maybe you should take some of the chilis chop them up real fine like then put them right in yr eye

ow!

http://chilepepperinstitute.org

i'm suprised no one has mentioned yet the use of tabasco that we learned from Curb Your Enthusiasm

I think people were just assuming you would?

I think I just did. :(

if u get tobasco on yr dik put it in yogurt

Greek? Fruit on bottom? Plain? Fruit mixed in?

Microwave chimichangas + white rice + Dixie sour cream + a scattering of habanero = my favorite homemade dinner in the world.

Nicely done. A simple one: Ramen noodles, throw away the flavor, start boiling the noodles, half-way through add cheese, tobasco, peanut butter, and fresh spinach. Other combinations available.

Wait wait what other combinations?

Someone I know has been eating a lot of ramen lately and is about to lose mind. Pls help.

xxpost or, as i have done, eat the flavor packet for a mouth-shriveling shot of sodium

you know those little packets that say "do not eat"? They're filled with Ramen flavoring.

There was this whole thing on Yahoo - recipes. That's the easy one I've been doing. Let me see... http://food.yahoo.com/blog/continentalchef/739/dress-up-ramen-for-dinner-in-minutes

I believe you Kenan. O do I.

I never got past substitute [peanut butter + garlic + sri-racha] for packet dust. With maybe some green onions. Cheese + spinach = evolution (the good kind).

Yeah see that does sound good with the garlic. The Spinach is ready in no time so it is ideal. With the cheese, you have to soak your pot RIGHT AWAY. Otherwise, your house will begin to smell like fungus (doesn't come off).

With some ketchup, lime juice & bean sprouts, above = phad thai.

Tabasco OTM

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

omg these ramen recipes = ....next level camping foods????

seriously, peanut butter and cheese are already two of my favorite fatty, dense backpacking food. to mate them with noodles and hot hot is SHIFTING MY PARADIGM

Are you posting from an internet cafe in North Dakota?

No, from a Burger King in Gillette, Wyoming!

not tabasco but

http://www.goldenflake.com/secured/GoldenFlakeStore/prodimages/lahotskin_sm.jpg

are good

dude, get out of wyoming, it's not safe
the calls are coming from INSIDE THE LARAMIE

silly. there are no phones in wyoming.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

can someone report on the sweet and spicy????

omg ORANGE JUICE in a bloody mary innit

Is the green just made of green chiles? Green sauce is my favoritiest on any ole enchilada.
