I once went to a pub in the UK , and being as I was cold and wet from fishing decided to order a Chile con carne ..
I think the chef was annoyed because I ordered just before 2pm (A lot of places in the UK stop serving food at 2) and I think he was a touch surprised when I asked for the bottle of Tabasco from the bar and proceeded to Finnish most of it ..
The downside was it gave the food a bit too much of a vinegary taste for my liking ..

Amen to that! I've gone to a local seafood restaurant and got an order of
mussels and asked for some hotsauce. They gave me a standard size bottle of
Tabasco which was a quarter full. Of course 2/3rds the way through the dish I
had to ask for more...
