Agreed. Tabasco is just spicy vinegar. Tapatio, Chalula, and La Victoria are preferable.
Amen
Ditto.
Can’t stand the vinegar.
Local California Tortilla restaurant wall of sauces for the most part ALL taste like vinegar to me.
I finally chose Arizona Pepper products’ Arizona Gunslinger Habanero and Chipotle Habanero (and another brand, Woman Scorned sauce) for my kitchen when I’m not tinkering with my own sauces.
I grow habanero peppers - have a four year plant that is nothing if not prolific - for fun, maybe profit someday, and habanada.
But tabasco? Pedestrian, acidic, gives me heartburn.
Yuck, sour American crap. Gringo hot sauce sucks compared to the varieties you stated + Picamas.
