I sometimes use Tabasco sauce to calm down haberneros when I want them a touch mild.

You can buy gallon jugs of Frank's at any big box grocery store. It keeps well if refrigerated, and can be used refill small bottles. The same goes for hot horseradish.

That is a scurrilous falsehood. Tabasco is a fine aged pepper wine, well loved for its delicate, nuanced flavor. Frank's is OK, but too heavily salted for my taste. It needs to be used on something that needs a lot of salt to bring out the flavor, like bbq meats.

It occurs to me that the recipes for turning Tabasco into Frank's have omitted the salt.

Two different products. You need more than one hot sauce for more than one kind of use. I have a bottle of Predator that gets applied with a toothpick.

I used to visit Avery Island quite often when I lived in Louisiana. the making of it is fascinating. They do take pride as if brewing a fine wine.

Several times along with the little tiny sample bottles. Although I was more interested in the Bird sanctuary they established there. the family is quite amazing and very involved in conservation.

I actually like Tabasco sauce, but when i want HOT I use Haberneros.

I can't eat scrambled eggs without soaking them in Tabasco.

ADDENDUM: Just found they have a website HERE

I agree. Franks and Tobasco are nothing alike.
