(and another snip for brevity's sake)
I agree with Porter - on both accounts. I received some of Chef Paul's
Magic Pepper Sauce for Christmas '96 and really enjoyed - to my
surprise. I like his food, but not his commercial style. So I was
prepared for 'just another Louisiana hot sauce', but it had good flavor
and decent heat - much better than Tabasco for most things. So I
recommend it (and look for it when I shop.)
