Mcllhenney's Tabasco! The most famous and best hot sauce. Found on just about every table/bar/counter in the USA. Made in Lousiana on Avery Island.
Lot's of history behind it.

Yes........the popcorn! My first bar...we had a popcorn machine to give to our clients something to chew on.... the demand for Tabasco Sauce was
amazing.
I just use the stuff on Tacos....and eggs
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Pico Pica is my favorite, Challula is my 11 year old sons favorite, my wife likes tapitillo, and we always have 2-3 others on the table that we are
trying out.
Our favorite salsa is the roasted salsa from El Napilito in Cardiff, that stuff is crazy addictive once you start it is hard to stop eating the stuff.

Learned about Mcilhenny's Tabasco in the service ... was an eating necessity on "Chow Hall Row" in Biloxi MS.. Especially on SOS day's .. or "meat
loaf" ... or ... or ..
During the Vietnam War, BGen. McIlhenny issued The Charlie Ration Cookbook.[4] (Charlie ration was slang for the field meal given to troops.) This
cookbook came wrapped around a two-ounce bottle of Tabasco sauce in a camouflaged, water-resistant container. It included instructions on how to mix
C-rations to make such meals as "Combat Canapés" or "Breast of Chicken under Bullets."[5]
During the 1980s, the U.S. military began to include miniature bottles of Tabasco sauce in its MREs. Eventually, miniature bottles of Tabasco sauce
were included in two-thirds of all MRE menus. (These same miniature bottles are also included in British MOD rations.) During the same period,
McIlhenny Company issued a new military-oriented cookbook using characters from the comic strip Beetle Bailey, titled The Unofficial MRE Cookbook,
which it offered free of charge to U.S. troops.

Count me as another lover of Pico Pica.
I've never seen it sold in Mexico, so I bring bottles of their "hot" setting down. I would call it only "moderately hot", but that's OK. Too much hot
tends to mask flavor. It's the Pico Pica flavor that has sold me.
I probably have about 10 bottles of different Mexican hot sauces down here. At one point I was down to my last bit of Pico Pica, so I decided to see
if ANY of them were similar.
I was surprised to discover that Salsa Huichol was actually pretty close. Huichol is pretty much the Tabasco sauce of Mexico; it's on more restaurant
tables than all the others, combined, IME.
On our travels last summer, we discovered a chunky, jar-type salsa we hadnt see, that we loved. Arriba Fire Roasted Mexican Chipotle Salsa. Hotter
than most mediums, it's too hot for many. If it wasnt rather pricey, it would replace Herdez' Salsa Casera as our jarred salsa.

Pico Pica... just another salsa from East LA? You need to bring it down with you. If you share w/others you will need to bring extra, or you will run
out. i know.

Another great hot sauce in our frig is Scorned Woman. You only need one tiny drop of this hot sauce. Their motto "Don't get mad. Get even!"

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

I earned my"salsa on everything" stripes at an event in downtown Tucson, eating ground chiletepin on vanilla ice cream. It was actually pretty good.
For bottled salsas, we like La Costeña Taquera. For small bottles of hot sauce, I am another lover of Sriracha (Thai), La Guacamaya, and the line of
Hechiza hot sauces. If you have time and ingredients, fresh is always best. Of the fresh salsas, the simplest ones are the most attractive. One of
my favorites is roasted habanero (habanero chiles, garlic, lime juice, salt and water). I add some carrot to take the edge off the heat and give more
body to the salsa.
A day without salsa is like a day without sunshine.

It's around, Mike. But not in cans. It's in jars.

Arriba also makes a fine jarred tomatillo salsa, very chunky.
Cholula Chipolte salsa is my favorite for the morning tortilla y queso fresco.

thx Hook - i never knew that!
i'll keep asking the stores in phx area i go to.
they have other herdez products in jars locally. casera is wife's fav. too mild for me.
Saul's also carrried what i remember as herdez products that were ground meat molida meat products and sardines etc wrapped/stuffed in chilis, maybe
jalapenos, in cans - yummy snacks.

Tabasco Rules!! All those small time hot sauces are a dime a dozen. Yea, they're good, but the hot sauce from down in the bayou country of Louisiana
sets the standard. When you sit down at most any table/bar, north or south, east or west, it's the one you'll reach for.

LOL! Tabasco ain't much different than white vinegar with red dye #9 and maybe a little cayenne for heat (not flavor).
There are better Louisiana hot sauces out there than Tabasco, Cypress. I prefer Trappey's, of the national brands. Or Frank's.
