>tobasco
I see this a lot on here.
Is it a regional spelling?

>>13525948
It was always tobasco. The matrix fucked up back in 2001

>>13525940
Tobasco uses a particularl type of pepper that iriginated in Mexico, the Tobasco Pepper( Capsicum frutescens ), and all the peppers used used to be grown on Avery Island, although now seeds from Avery Island are shipped elsewhere to grow the Yobasco peppers, so the Avery Island peppers may be a somewhat distinct breed now.
The peppers are them ground into a mash and mixed with salt, the same day the peppers are picked, then the pepper salt mash is aged for up to three years in oak barrels, then the mash is strained, and mixed with vinegar, and aged some more.
Basically, Tobasco sauce is essentially made the same way decent Bourbon is made.
The aging helps the To asco sauce to get a “sweet” flavor in addition to the spicy flavour.

aged for years in a cask
you cannot replicate that with chemicals
it only has like 3 ingredients which is impressive

simple is best

Here’s a ‘How It’s Made’ episode on the production of the sauce.

Basically, the fermentation changes the flavour of the sauce.

>tobasco
the proper spelling is right there in the picture you illiterate retards
also the habanero version is better

>>13526029
its like 2x more expensive

is it worth it?

>>13526035
Where I live they all cost €3 a bottle
and yes

>>13526029
I always thought it was tobasco this must be the work of the mangina effect and not my faulty memory oh no I shit my pants and I don't remember doing so the mandolin effect strikes again.

>the habanero version is better
this
it's more spicy and has an overall better taste if you combine it with dips.
has anyone ever tried pic related?

The fermentation gives it an umami flavor. I can't think of another hot sauce with it.

>>13526035
It's really good. Probably the best tasting habanero sauce I've ever had.

>>13525993
you taste the barrels.
only other good sauce of that style is lousiana brand, good but you miss the aged flavour.
All the rest are just shit with additives and thickeners and stuff.

Tabasco is awful, it ruins everything it touches. Green Cholula is good.

Might as well just put vinegar on your food.

>>13529221
t. poorfag
wont lie, its 3x the price of chemical hot sauces.

>>13526125
same fruitiness as the habanero. noticeably hotter but otherwise just like the habanero sauce in terms of flavor. very good but that weird fruitiness makes it harder to use, just like the habanero

I'm always varkin bro. Whether I'm shredding fresh pow, or grabbing life by the horns and engaging it in forcible sodomy. Aardvark. It's not just a sauce. It's a lifestyle.

secret vark vermin shit sucks....i dunno what is appealing about it...literally its more of a spicy sauce and not real hot sauce

>>13529221

I'm going to freefall into your house, and sodomize your dad with a bottle of aardvark. It's part of the lifestyle.

It just tastes lile distilled white vinegar and capsaicin extract with salt. Only boomers eat it, and they were raised entirely on fake foods.
