	Well, I finally got around to trying that Chipotle Tabasco® sauce I spoke
of in my last post.....It's definitely *not* what I was expecting. Good
aroma and thickness, but the flavor just isn't what I wanted. The
"smokiness" almost tastes man-made, like they added liquid smoke (yech!) to
the batch. I would recommend it as an additive sauce only, not as a topping
to a finished dish. I did add it to a chicken wing recipe, and it tasted
pretty good. It might go will in a spaghetti sauce recipe, too. But if I add
it to a finished product, it's not that great, IMHO. At least 2 bottles will
end up staying on my hot sauce display shelves permanently.
	I do enjoy the Tabasco® Habanero Sauces and the Garlic Pepper Sauces,
though. Also, the classic Tabasco® sauce finds it way onto my plate (as a
last resort) when I'm dining out and forget my own personal stash of sauce
or powder. I just wish restaurants would carry the Habanero Tabasco® Sauce,
but, that would only be a dream.
	JimC's Red Savina® powder (smoked & plain) is my choice heat stash for
dining out. I keep a small shaker in my car at all times. :̃
