I put tabasco on tons of things.. I use it in my crawfish dipping sauce, I like it in chili, soup, red beans and rice. It's good in eggs, it spices up spaghetti sauce. I never run out of it. We always had it in my house, growing up.

And I always give my Bloody Mary's a good shot or two of Tobasco.

i think sometimes this is the case. i like tabasco personally, but there's no doubt that other sauces have other properties that might be better in certain situations. anyway i think it's cool that this stuff can be found across the globe and it all started on avery island.

I've noticed that in LA Tabasco seems much less popular than in TX.

Gimme the clean refreshing taste of Tabasco. I suppose things that are made in your backyard become passe.

Plus I've been to Avery Island and those peeps know what they're doing.

it's also fashionable for less refined cooks or diners to get emotional and offended if someone disses a product they grew up using.

Not many legit chefs use Tony's or Zat's. There is a reason.

LA Hot sauce, Cholula, and sometimes Crystal. Only use Tabasco sauce on raw oysters and bloody marys

and i'd assume those two woudl be equated to non-tabasco louisiana hot sauses, correct?

quote:


CRYSTAL HOT SAUCE BEURRE BLANC:

5 oz. Crystal Hot Sauce

Pinch Garlic

Pinch Shallot

2 oz. Heavy Cream

1 1/2 lb. Butter

Saute garlic and shallots in a pan with a little butter. Add Crystal hot sauce and reduce by 75%. Add cream and reduce again by 50%. Slowly whip in softened butter a little at a time.


from commanders.

also, many "top chefs" have their own "season all" (emeril's essence, prudhome...)



why can't people just prefer something over something else? tabasco is obviously La's top hot sauce export, therefore the rest of the country basically assumes that everyone from La LOVES tabasco and "showers in that shite"... i bet there are people from memphis that don't like bbq or people from wisconsin that don't like cheese...

I prefer Crystal. And use Tiger sauce alot also. I am in NC and I have got everyone at my work here hooked on Tiger sauce. I have a limited supply, I can't seem to find anyone to carry it. When I go back to LA I stock up on Crystal and Tiger sauce.
