That bottle of Taco Bell Hot (sic) Sauce was sent as a horrible example.
(Lest you think we have no taste at all!) At the time there was much
outrage and hand-wringing on the lsit about the stuff so we thought we
would include a bottle in a goodie package to the southern hemisphere so
they could see what all the fuss was about. Not opening the bottle was
probably a VERY wise decision.
Taco Bell has now (minimally) altered their hot sauce offerings. They
have three - Mild (basically salted tomato puree with some vineger in it
- I don't care WHAT the list of ingredients says) Hot (a wee tad spicier
that the mild) and Fire (a wee tad spicier than the hot). None of them
are very good.
I do confess to a great liking for their stuff (especially the new
gorditias - anybody know where I can get a picture of that dog?) but
prefer a splash of Cholula on them. Somehow all Taco Bell stuff needs a
red sauce to taste good!
Peace, love and peppers
