I've been asked by a well-known national trade publication to do an article on consumer opinions about hot sauces. I know all of you are experts in the field and would love to include your opinions in my article. After all, you are the "top of the food chain" in the hot sauce business" as the editor put it and I know will make a great source for me. I would like to know what prompts you to buy one hot sauce over another. What rings your chime, so to speak. It is taste, heat levels, color, labels, price, advertising, word-of-mouth, salesmen's advice or anything else that causes you to reach for that "special" bottle. Also, if you don't mind, I'd also like to quote some of you in the article because I feel there is a great cross-section of people on the list. If you feel that this is too commercial for a discussion on the list, please feel free to e-mail me privately. I hope that this isn't the case, however, because I think (in my own mind, of course) that this would be an interesting topic. Looking forward to hearing from you. Judith
