Brad....I think Peter has already said that he was replying to another's post, either Dave's or Carp's which included yours, as it happened. Now, I have known Peter for quite a number of years, we have spoken by phone and we live not all that far away from each other, and I really do not think that he intended any problems. If he likes Tabasco, that is his perogative. If Dirty Dave does not, that is his also. I have it in the cupboard, but I also have a dozen at least of more interesting, more flavorful, better tasting sauces, and I am certain that Peter has others as well as Tabasco. As this all started with a query as to whether McIllhennys had survived Katrina, as well as others, my only comment would be that if Avery Island was inundated, all it would do would be to build up the salt domes a little higher :-D and so make that stuff more salty! Enjoy whatever it is that turns your crank....I still remember feeding our Mr. Campbell and going easy on the heat, as there was another guest, and then having him ask me why it wasnt hot???
