I guess I was being too subtle in pointing out that there is a difference
between tObasco and tAbasco. Going to the tObasco web site gets you
something only peripherally related to tAbasco brand products.
I like vinegar, too. Use it a lot. Heck it's 50% (more or less) of Yaaaaa
Hoooo Ahhhhh Hot Sauce!!!. I have straight chemical vinegar (dilute acetic
acid), cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, champagne
vinegar, malt vinegar and three different ages of balsamic vinegars. But, I
*still* don't like the nasty, sour vinegar taste of Tabasco (tm) hot sauce.
'Nuff said. I vote with my wallet. I like Tapatio, too. But, no one around
in my corner of the Great American Outback here carries it (that I have
found anyweay). And the 90c/quart deal I got on the Trappey's is hard to
beat... and probably unrepeatable.
ENJOY!!!
