It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Tabasco's refined taste all the way.
It is about quality, that's why I freakin' hate tabasco
So your personal preferences dictate whether a product is good or not, and whether other people should also like it ("I do not like Tabasco, therefore its quality is shit"). Right. I'll be sure to defer to you in my future personal tastes. 🙄
This is not a pissing contest about who can hold the most Carolina Reapers in. It's a really subjective thing, which is why when the other commenter implied it was about hotness scale (which is valid foe those who go by it when choosing their preferred hot sauce), I personally go more by flavor. At least the other comment, while somewhat in condescending tone, was a way more productive opinion, backed with sources and actual measurements. 🤷♂️
Cheers.
I didn't say anything about heat, just that tabasco is not a high quality sauce - It's basically just red vinegar. If that's what you're into, enjoy. But you're missing out on the good stuff if you're settling for that
The quality is fine. It's just vinegar, salt and peppers. It's consistent and the peppers are aged in oak barrels. You may not like it and that's fine too, I don't keep it in my kitchen either, but it's not low quality.
I used to like it, but more recently I’ve tried other brands and now tabasco just tastes bland in comparison. Last I bought it, I had to empty half the bottle in the dish and didn’t even taste it. I know they have different hotness scales, not sure if the one I bought was the hottest out there, but it was the hottest they had at the store.
