Only thing I use Tabasco for is gumbo, with Louisiana Hot Sauce being a good substitute.
For all other hot sauce needs I prefer Cholula, either original or lime.

Growing up in Pennsylvania, one of my favorite autumn/winter treats was hot spiced cider. In addition to ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, I would always give it some added warmth. When I was living in Louisiana, I decided to add a splash or two of Tabasco which not only gives it a little extra heat, but provides a magnificent compliment to the tartness of a good cider.
