That's my take too. http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/2004-07-22/space.html Couldn't really care less. What DOES irritate me is renaming pepper and tomato varieties in order to sell seeds as something 'new'. anon ----- Original Message ----- From: jeff@chileheadsonline.com To: jim@wildpepper.com Cc: terrabyte@tds.net ; Chile-heads@globalgarden.com Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 3:26 PM Subject: Re: [CH] Relabeled Hot Sauces Quoting jim@wildpepper.com: > I too, am guilty of having at least a couple of different labels for > some of my sauces. I try to be sure and let folks know up front And that, Jim, is where you differ from the masses... I really have no problem at all with slapping a new label on an "old" sauce. Really I don't. Just don't try to pass it off as some "new" creation. I think that for the most part, people who collect hot sauces are really collecting the labels. They collect what they like the look of (I'm guilty of this too) but I only eat what tastes good. There are very few sauces that I actually use regularly. All to often one sauce will taste an awful lot like another. Unless there's some "twist" or special use of an ingredient in just the right combination there are only so many ways to make a sauce. Everybody seems to have a different idea as to what a "perfect" sauce is so I guess all's right with the world. Just my 4 cents worth, Jeff
