Louisiana Brand sauce

[Ranger99]

I've been a fan of Louisiana brand
Gold sauce for a long time. I had
got to where I was buying a box of
it each time because the stores were
out nearly every time I went to resupply.
Well I'm down to 2 bottles out of the
last case, and from what I understand
the Louisiana sauce people have
discontinued what was their premium
sauce. Aged for so-and-so long just
like premium spirits.

Anybody else have a favorite besides
the tah bas coh ? I had gotten used to
the great flavors of the Gold because
of the aging and you could tell the
different tastes all working instead of
like the cheap sauces that just feature
heat. Probably the best I've ever used
on breakfast eggs too

From cheap and good to more expensive and quite good. Trappey’ red devil, ortega taco sauce, tabasco jalapeno/green pepper sauce.

I learned how to make as good a taco
sauce as can be bought.
Salsa too.
But "loozeeanna" sauce takes an experienced
hand, and can't be made properly (IMO)
by a factory full of illegal aliens.
Takes the proper peppers and good
vinegar and somebody with the right
nose and tastebuds

I've lived long enough to see the premiere
light bread bakery of the region bought
 out by a mex conglomerate and ran into
the ground.
Just as well to buy the cheapest store brand

Don’t knock the green pepper sauce made with jalapenos by your least favorite brand Tabasco until tried. I don’t eat the red stuff although it’s an improvement over regular c rats when all cans combined and heated.

[Ranger99]

I've tried em
Tried many a one from the mex stores
that are mostly obscure in the mainstream
stores, but most of the US manufacturers
from outside of LA go for the heat and
less so the flavors of the peppers.
Kinda like many chain "cajun " restaurants
and "mexican" food joints

Try the green again as they’ve reduced the heat... besides Tabasco is in Louisiana

Frank’s is good.

Trappey’s 32 Oz $3 to $4, Tabasco green not to be confused with red 2 Oz $2 to $3. Berry Berry goood. My go to hot sauces.

If I want heat it's the red Tabasco.  If not much heat, I like the Taco Bell hot sauce.  Found out that they sell it in the bottle.

  Far and away, the most popular brand around here, is FRANK'S  hot sauce. Personally, in sales, I think Frank's beats all other brands combined.
   I prefer it, because once I eat something, I prefer the taste and in the hot sauce case, the heat go away.

  It seems that with many hot sauces, the taste and tongue bite remains long after the the food is gone.

  Perhaps Frank's is popular around here, is partially because it is no secret that Buffalo chicken wings, first ever ... were served at the Anchor
   bar in Buffalo... used Franks, and still does.

  While travelling through Louisiana a couple decades ago, I stopped by the Tabasco producer at Avery Island.. I didn't bother buying the tour, but
   my wife picked up some hand painted note cards from their gift shop.

  Now days, I don't use near as much hot sauce as I used to, since over the last couple years, my tongue and mouth have grown much more
   sensitive to same.

If I want heat it's the red Tabasco.  If not much heat, I like the Taco Bell hot sauce.  Found out that they sell it in the bottle.

  Me too, they always give me extra when I go there, and I REALLY like to put some in each jar when I'm canning pinto beans.

  I canned some a few days ago, with ham that I needed to use up, also in each jar.

Haven't tried it yet but I hear Frank's is pretty good. Seems like Louisiana Hot Sauce has gone down in quality the past couple of years.

[Ranger99]

Louisiana brand has been sold or
so I've been told.
The Louisiana Gold sauce was
aged several years, so I would
imagine what I had bought was
made before their downfall to
the corporate side of things

  I wonder does a sauce being aged, make it any better ?  We know Tabasco sauce advertises that it has been aged, so I asked on line if Frank's was
   aged.  Curiously, they claimed that in Frank's the ingredients are aged.
 
  So how is it , are the ingredients aged or the sauce aged ?  Here's the answer I received (printed in red, of course)..

    Yes, Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce is made with a blend of aged cayenne peppers. The original blend was created in 1917 by Jacob Frank and Adam Estilette, who aged spices, vinegar, garlic, and cayenne peppers together before selling the product in 1920. Frank's RedHot is a key ingredient in many Buffalo wing recipes, and was also the secret ingredient in the first Buffalo wings recipe in 1964
