Do they sell Tabasco sauce outsie the US?

zamboe · February 25, 2003

Tabasco is made from red peppers. And yea, i know about habanero's...the hottest peppers on earth. so hot they are handled with gloves. now that is hot dude!! and nooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaay would i eat one of those.

I know habanero's, here we call them "puta madre" which translated is "mother fucker".

Sooooooooooo good, I eat them in at least 3 ways, with salads, in a sauce and ALWAYS with soup.

When I eat sandwiches, then I eat them directly (habaneros), soooooooo good.

Sure, later you get used to it, and after you'd love it. Keep going.

Well it is well known that the "southern american" countries like their food very spicy. They use chili and sauces like tabasco in all their food.

I still remember the food i ate when i was in mexico..

Very "hot" indeed and i needed to extinguish the fire in my mounth by drinking ;)

In greece they also use the "hot stuff"

lol! no way. no one can eat raw habaneros....can they? are you sure we are talking about the same thing???

I have this stuff called Tabasco sauce that I use on virtually every food item that is not sugary. I love the stuff. I have a bottle here at my desk in fact. I'm curious if any of my friends here (c'mon friends right? :) ) who lives outside the US knows what I'm talking about.

I've never seen something like tabasco sauce in the Netherlands ;)

They do have it in the Netherlands (at least in the part where I live). I never used it though. I do like spicy sauces, so who knows I might try it :)

ken124578 · February 25, 2003

Yeah, there are spicy sauces, but none with the name: "tabasco sauce" ;)

Sure, it's really good stuff. Raw habaneros with sandwiches, great, better with soup.

I have now in the refrigerator a few "puta madres" (habaneros). There is no hot natural thing on earth that I know better than those, we don't call them "mother fucker" with no reason. ;)

I don't have a digital camera, otherwise I'd posted a pic of those. Maybe you can.

Anyway for me the hottest the better.

emprworm · February 25, 2003

man i'm sorry but i'm really having a hard time living down Zamboe telling us that he eats raw habanero's. man that is crazy. i surely didn't think anyone did that. i really wonder if we are talking about the same pepper. A red habanero pepper is 65 times hotter than a jalapeno!!!! they are so hot, they are handled with gloves. I just cannot believe someone could eat these things raw!!!!

Yes, those are. And sometimes are in yellow color too.

Some of my relatives don't even matter when they eat them raw and eat the seed too (little seeds inside the habanero).

They are handled with gloves, only in factories or big supermarkets, when the people have to hold a lot of habaneros, in case they touch their eyes or if they have sensitive skin. But if you just eat a couple then no problem.

Slightly off topic, but this article has some interesting insights into why you may like tabasco so much:

I read it. Thx, number6. I didn't know about the Scoville units.

Now I have to find something.

I'll quote :

"The heat of chilies is traditionally expressed in Scoville units, a subjective scale devised by the pharmacist Wilbur Scoville in 1912. Jalapenos rate about 4,000 Scoville units, while the hottest habeneros score up to 400,000. One variety in southeast Asia has recently been evaluated at an incredible 850,000 Scoville units, a veritable vegetable Chernobyl. "

A veritable vegetable Chernobyl !

Twice hot than an habanero ! 850,000 SU.

I WANT THAT. I MUST TRY IT.

U lucky Asians !, why we don't have it here.

Dude_Doc · February 25, 2003

Ehh... we have American Food Stop (or something like that) here... so yes, there should be tobasco somewhere in there...

I would imagine you would pass out after eating one of those :) .

WOW! I learned something. Yes, indeed there is a hotter pepper than the Habanero.

Up until this year, the Red Savina Habanero pepper from Mexico, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's hottest chile, held the capsicum championship, ranking at the top of the Scoville Scale with 577,000 units. But according to scientists in Assam, in northeastern India, their local Naga Jolokia pepper is almost 50 percent hotter than the Habanero, measuring 855,000 Scoville units. But the Naga Jolokia, according to the scientists, is so hot that it cannot be eaten by most mere mortals. Only the local tribes people eat it -- every day

Major_Gilbear · February 25, 2003

Both Red and Green Tabasco Sauce types are available here in the UK, but I don't really think that the green ever caught on...

I love the red sauce though, and frequently have on chips....

Cyborg · February 25, 2003

Tabasco sauce is available in norway, but it's only called "tabasco saus". I don't think we have both types.

Everyone should have Tabasco sauce available in the "foreign stores" in their city.

Yeah, They call it CHERNOBYL.

I wish I could try that pepper, since I longer feel pain when I eat the normal habaneros. Unfortunately they say, that this pepper is only in Asia.

yes, Major, the red sauce is yummmy! Try this: Mix tabasco sauce (lots of it. he he) with a can of bean dip ....add grated parmasean (not powdered) cheese and have with corn chips. GOOD STUFF!!!! Try it man, you will not be dissappointed.

Major_Gilbear · February 25, 2003

Hehe, thanks Empr!

And here's a little drink that uses it;

Double Tenement Fire

Take a double shot of good quality vodka, and stir in four dessert spoons of red tabasco sauce. Down in one! ;)

I once mixed a PINT of this stuff, and... um got quite drunk...

Enjoy!

nemafakei · February 25, 2003

Here, it is, I think, possible to buy everything mentioned above in this thread, if you look for it.

Anyone else like HP sauce here?

Major_Gilbear · February 25, 2003

I like the various HP barbecue sauces that they do...

But not the Brown sauce. :-X

nemafakei · February 25, 2003

What? The HP BBQ sauce is horrid! The normal sauce,and the fruity one that they used to do (do they any more?) are far better!
