OK... back from a testing.... errrrmmmm tasting. I used to think that
Tabasco was hotter because the heat lasted longer. But, what it is is that
the nasty sour taste stays in your mouth and reminds you that something hot
used to be there. It's a toss as far as heat goes... but good ol' New
Jersey Frank's eind the taste category in a walk. But, my preferred cayenne
sauce is still Trappey's Red Devil (made by McIlhenney at Avery Island).
Mildly spicy and quite flavourful. I often wonder where the world would be
now if the "manly-men" hasd discovered Trappey's as their rite-of-passage
instead of Tabasco.
ENJOY!!!
