Tabasco Sauce - 150 Year Anniversary

[dem in texas]

This is one condiment that I cannot live without. I use it all the time, a few shakes works wonders on many recipes. it perks up bland cheese and milk based sauces, Always put a few shakes on my scrambled eggs.

Years back, before I retired, I was on a work assignment in Hong Kong and was surprised to see subway ads for Tabasco Sauce. So it is international.

Do you use Tabasco Sauce, if so how?

1. Good Ole Avery Island MAGIC!

It is my go to jazz it up spice. I love it in Bloody Mary's, on cottage cheese, in my zesty lasagna, and meatloaf. Also Avery Island is also a lovely horse on the Kentucky Derby trail. I won big on Tabasco Cat (Preakness and Belmont winner), and I will be watching Avery Island closely these next few months.

7. Bloody Mary - Yes!

How could I forget, a few shakes of Tabasco is a must in a Bloody Mary. I will follow the horse, Avery Island, too.

9. I follow the horses closely

I will stay in touch with you on Avery Island's progress, this year has a ton of promising contenders. Avery is going to be a strong entry if he stays healthy.

2. On scrambled eggs, cottage cheese...

and in just a little in brownies (of course I also put unsweetened chocolate in my chili).

4. Use it all the time.

There's a shop just near me that sells the larger bottles, and we always have one on the go. It's super useful on eggs and such of course, and all of the obvious things. I like it 100% better than Sriracha for just general day-to-day use because I find Sriracha to be a bit too garlicky for my tastes.

But yes, a couple of dashes in anything that just needs a bit of acid (like a cream sauce or soup, or a even in a pan when we're sauteeing veggies, sometimes).

The other thing my husband has discovered to use that adds a nice bit of flavour and a bit of acid without any heat (we've had guests for whom Tabasco was too much, good thing we kept our homemade fermented ghost and scorpion chili sauce in the fridge!), dry vermouth is amazing. We've sort of settled on Dolin as our favourite, since we can't get Noilly Prat around here any more. Martini's just fine, but nothing great.

5. LOVE IT!!! Im 67 i remember every childhood meal at my grandparents had a bottle of

....tabasco sauce. Grandpa put it on everything. A cpl years ago I took my parents on a road trip thru the south ( they grew up there) and we went to Avery Island La and went thru the factory. Wow its really something. The gift shop has tabasco themed stuff and tabasco flavored samples...like... ICE CREAM!

6. Oh yes, huge HUGE fan. I use it practically on EVERYTHING except pasta

8. every summer for about 15 yrs I met up with a group in OKC to storm chase...

...In Texas (Amarillo?) The Big Texan is a restaurant where you eat a giant steak and if you don't puke you get it for free. Well besides rattlesnake appetizers they serve a Prairie Fire drink...a shot of tequila and a shot of tabasco. The women in the group slammed them down but the men in our group passed. I'm not sure why. Try it!

10. Don't like flavor I use Frank"s Red

Hot myself.

[SCantiGOP]

14. I agree

I know it sounds terribly mundane, but I prefer Texas Pete. You get the flavor without all the heat.

11. Happy Birthday Tabasco!

I keep a 12 oz. bottle of (regular) Tabasco on hand at all times. Also, the Tabasco habanero - if I could find a 12 oz bottle of that, I'd be in hot heaven!

I do keep Frank's around (for wings), and a jar of homemade habanero sauce too.

To answer your question: Tabasco on eggs sunny side, with toast! Any and all Cajun/Creole dishes. And, when I'm in the mood, on a toxic burrito! (Read as cheap frozen 3-for-a buck burritos). I tend to use the habanero sauce for Mexican dishes and homemade chili, though....

12. Love me some tabasco!

I use it in bloody Mary's, eggs and baked potatoes! I always have a bottle on hand!

13. You know what's funny...lived/worked in new Orleans

For three years. They totally shun Tabasco. I was so surprised. People who live there go with Crystal hot sauce. Think more local to Nola...

15. Nice to hear appreciation for Tabasco. When the big

Sriracha fad hit, it seemed to require badmouthing Tabasco, as seemingly as old and out of it as it made me feel. But I like the flavor of Tabasco a lot, and Sriracha's too sweet for me. I'll use Frank's for wings occasionally.

We also sprinkle Tabasco on almost anything, where its flavor stands out. I usually can sub other heat when cooking flavor in if I run out, but I want Tabasco and lemon, no subs, for a favorite cucumber, cottage cheese and green onion salad.
