The Green Sauce
You've seen it around. The GREEN Tabasco. It is Tabasco Brand Jalapeno Sauce.
Is it tasty? Yes. Is it in any way better than the original, though? No. So therein lies the problem. What is to be done with this much thicker, much greener sauce?
The color is the principal issue, as far as I've experienced. Generally you expect a HOT sauce to be "red hot." Not green. If you put a green sauce on something, it is going to turn it green. Green macaroni and cheese is not too good to look at. Pancakes all warm and buttery, but also GREEN? Nobody wants that.
Also, full slices of jalapeno peppers lend themselves so well to almost any food you might think about adding the sauce too. Scrambled eggs are so good with slices of jalapeno. Tacos, nachos, and DIP as well. Jalapeno slices are even good on pizza, but who wants a green SAUCE on pizza?
But finally, after suffering through a multitude of ill-conceived experiments, I believe that I have finally found the perfect taste companion for green Tabasco. Tater tots.
While not impossible, it's sort of inconvenient to eat a tater tot and a full slice of jalapeno pepper at the same time. Try dipping it in the sauce instead. and if you're about to say "But I like KETCHUP on my tater tots!" I have an answer for that too.
Use both.
That's all for now, more Tabasco thoughts to follow.
Thanks for reading!
