For the major part, I tend towards sauces that are flavorful rather than (necessarily) brain-bogging hot. My favorite, for example, is Crystal, because of it's salty-vinegary base, rather than in spite of it. Crystal, BTW, tends to be the standard in New Orleans and Baton Rouge ( my old stomping grounds ) rather than Tobasco. To me, the latter has more heat than flavor.Panola, red and green, Judy's, Melinda's and Coyote Cucina have all spent significant periods of time around my kitchen. I think I tend to prefer sauces that have a habenero/scotch bonnet base. Jim
