That is what about 95% of hot sauces taste like to me. There are slight differences in their version of spicy vinegar. I like and use them on occasion and not knocking them but realistically, that is all it is.
Some of the ones like Cholula or the chipotle versions with smoke, chili powder, etc. give a different flavor profile.
But Tabasco, Red Gold, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Frank’s……
Texas Pete has the best flavor. Hotter Texas Pete is legit.
My 92-year-old mother carries a bottle of Tabasco in her purse at all times.
I was actually born in New Iberia and lived on Avery Island. I remember my eyes burning as a child..
On a side note, I planted a scorpion pepper plant as a novelty. Dang thing is taking off and putting on peppers. Not even sure what I will do with them.
Why would anyone want to destroy all their taste buds?
Stuff like that with 300,000 Scoville units would kill some people.
Might as well drink nitric acid.
I wish HEB would carry more of the tobasco flavors. There are several that you have to order or pickup local when i go back home to visit family. There is more tobasco flavored stuff in the gift shop than i can count. Pepper jellies, seafood boil, ice cream, soda, you name it.
