Ran across a couple of things over the holidays I'm not familiar with, and
decided to come to the experts!

1. A customer originally from the East Coast told me that the sub shops (ie
grinders, hero sandwiches, etc) have something they just call "hots" for
putting on the sandwiches. The clerk will ask "Do you want hots?" So what kind
of sauce is "hots"? Is it a specific brand or some generic concoction made up
by each restaurant? Or is it that (dare I say it?) Tabasco sauce? Any of you
on the East Coast know what this is? Sounds like something we could enjoy on
our sammiches here in Seattle!

2. Another request is for a spice called "Bijol", apparently pronounced "bee-
zhol". Originally purchased in Tampa, FL, but unknown origins. Does this ring
any bells with anyone? Spelling and pronunciation are not guaranteed to be
correct!

Thanks for the help!
