Think about it. How many times have you seen a bottle of Tabasco sitting on a counter in some joint, all brown and watery looking? And when you use it - because (1) you like it (shudder), (2) you forgot your own and can't eat eggs plain, or (3) vapid chile puree that tastes like floor sweepings, red dye #10, and some sort of animal droppings with a vinegary wang is horrid, but it cuts the grease on your eggs, as well as kills fire ants, so there must be some medicinal property to it - you discover that it tastes *exactly* like it does when you open up a brand new bottle. Oxidation does no harm, nor good, to the big T. Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles....... Don "still don't like Toe-basco" M. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
