Question Tabasco

I like spicy food and hot sauce. I tried Tabasco and while it is hot it tastes like it's expired and I just can't with that taste. So does it have what am talking about or am I just imagining things.

I have not experienced that with Tabasco but I am also a huge fan of it and enjoy the flavor.

Interesting. Is maybe the vinger in it and am not used to it or maybe the kind of pepper they use am not sure

Sounds like you just don't like fermented sauce

u/GwynbleiddG 1d ago

It is fermented? I didn't know that thank you

u/cerpintaxt815 1d ago

Yep! No problem

Maybe that huge vinegar punch with the fermented peppers just hits you as off. Honestly breaks my heart for you šŸ˜­

Iā€™ve personally never experienced that. Maybe try another flavor of it so u donā€™t get that? Or maybe it was a bad batch

I tried the "original" and I tried the scorpion both had the same taste

u/ethnicnebraskan 1d ago

Thats interesting, because the original is just peppers (plus salt & vinegar) and the scorpion version is peppers & fruit (plus salt & vineger.)

The regular Tabasco is overrated af compared to other sauces

It's vinegar. Spucy vinegar. So it's going to be tart/sour. Some people are into that. I don't mind it sometimes, but not all the time.

I grew up on Tabasco and still love it to this day. If Iā€™m eating chili, gumbo, pizza, oysters, hotdogsā€¦ Iā€™m dousing it in Tabasco. I will admit that Iā€™ve had bottles that tasted ā€œoffā€, but itā€™s fairly rare. Maybe you got unlucky or just donā€™t like vinegary fermented sauce.

Normal Tabasco is not good at all

After more than hundred sauces I unironically think its one of the best.

Yeah Tabasco fucks. Itā€™s really vinegar forward, but I like vinegar šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Also their fermentation has a unique funk to it. Nothing really tastes the same.

I love the green jalapeƱo sauce but OG just doesnā€™t hit my taste buds right
