The Jamaican grocery/diner down the street carries it and a couple of other
Jamaican hot sauces; I do like the Calypso particularly. I think it's the
mustard base and the considerable heat, plus that nice tinge of sweetness.
It's great with eggs (never mind that Tabasco stuff...) Matouk's also makes
a "Hot Sauce" which is reddish instead of  yellow; don't know what that
one's like as I've never picked it up. The Calypso certainly is a good
value; I pay about $2.50/10 oz., which is about twice the volume of your
standard sauce bottle.  

Anyone tried the Baron's brand of pepper sauces? I've seen two or three
around the stores; never picked one up as they didn't seem to have much in
the way of distinguishing recommendations. Anyone have any comments on them?
