RE: Hot Sauce
Tabasco and Crystal are fine, but as a very long time "pepper-head", I got tired of their "vinegar-y" flavour. For the best taste, I'm a big fan of Melinda's. It's from Belize, and is a Caribbean-style habanero sauce. Very tasty with good heat, not like some other that are made with Habanero extract as well as hanbanero paste...they're high on heat and low on flavour.
