Old Bay is spicy, IMO. Maryland born and bred. But I am a sissy girl when it comes to hot pepper stuff. I was well into adulthood before I even put pepper on my food, and even then I use just a little.
I’ll make you a Bloody Mary, Cboldt. Everyone says my recipe is great. I use horseradish — a good kind of hot — and some Tabasco. At my Bloody Mary bar, I put out a bottle of Tabasco for crazy people — like my favorite sister — to add more heat.
I'd not be just pleased to drink it, but honored. The thought of horseradish scent makes my mouth water.
Hot sauce preference is Texas Pete, Tabasco will be fine and honorable substitute.
I'm the guy who orders six stars when the menu max is five.
“Old Bay is spicy”
That there is funny. I don’t care who you are. LOL
I visit local hot sauce stores every time I go on a trip. Almost every culture has different peppers, and I want to try them all.
Old Bay physically burns my lips and tongue: I personally think it was invented as a pretext for Marylanders to drink more beer with their Chesapeake Bay blue crab...
