The McIlhenny Company has made Tabasco sauce using the same recipe since 1868: red peppers, vinegar, and salt. Since the hot sauce is aged in bourbon barrels, it takes five years to fill just one bottle. And most of this process still happens where it all began: Avery Island, Louisiana. Six generations of McIlhennys have lived on the island. But with disappearing marshes and more intense storms along the coast, the family is fighting to protect their, and the hot sauce's, home.

Tabasco brand could be a whole study into Quality Control. You can get it ANYWHERE, from the largest super stores down to bodegas and even gas stations where I live. And somehow it ALWAYS tastes exactly the same. It's one thing if you think about say toothpaste, where everything is made with chemicals in sterilized environments, but Tabasco is using old school techniques and out sourcing their mash internationally, but somehow they deliver the same product to millions of people every single day.

As a kid tabasco was not my favorite, but as a chef, tabasco is by far my favorite and I'll tell you why. Tabasco's taste is nothing but peppers, people say it's too much vinegar, but vinegar cooks out, salt does not. Tabasco has so little salt in it, that you can add it without screwing up the overall flavor of the dish.

2:58 White oak is very commonly used for barrels due to the presence of tyloses in the pores. These are growths of parenchyma cells which move into the vessels and help slow down/block water from moving through. This also helps with rot resistance and longevity of the wood. Basically it has clogged pores.

I personally hate tobasco on anything except maybe scrambies but putting it in MREs was a great idea. The high vinegar and salt content keep it edible for a long time. I've seen MREs decades old with the food in retort packages being dubious but the tobasco is still edible

It’s extremely easy to replicate a bad flavor, over several generations. It’s mostly vinegar…with some peppers and salt. You can make it at home. Just remember…if it tastes really nasty and bitter…you nailed it.

White oak is pretty much the only wood they used in North America to make barrels out of. Because of its tylosis it’s a almost water tight wood. Red oaks on the other hand are more porous, can hold any liquid.

I absolutely love Tabasco. I've moved away from the original over the years and use the family reserve and scorpion versions now. I always keep a big bottle of the original on hand. It's the best all around hot sauce that you can genuinely put on almost any food. It's incredible for cooking as well.

6:13 Major props for that proper pronunciation of "habanero" !! Tabasco is an icon for a reason, even if it's a flex some folks don't like these days. It was one of the O.G. American hot sauces, one that I don't think I'll ever get tired of sprinkling on dishes that go well with its vinegary pepper spice. It's also low in sodium, at 35 mg/teaspoon!

The only way the Mississippi Delta can survive, is if _every single state_ along the river *removes* their levees. Every single one. All of them. They all have to go, even the ones around the cities. You _must_ let the water spread out into the flood plains the way it used to. Not only will this cut back on the severity of the floods, it will also lessen the effects of drought, and most importantly of all, it will _slow down the river._ Right now, the river dumps all of the silt it carries far out into the Gulf of Mexico, where it rains down into the abyss at around 1700 feet. Not only is it not doing any good down there, it's doing damage! But if you slow the river down, it will dump the silt in the delta, where it belongs. It will also mean losing depth for transportation of goods, and so more money will need to be spent on dredging and erosion control, but at least it will reverse the loss of all of New Orleans.

Ever since I discovered the secret of putting tabasco in my noodles I've been a complete tabasco fan. Have bought and tasted every flavor and I just can't get enough of them. Habanero specifically is my personal favorite since it pares extremely well with sweet & sour chili sauce both put together in the noodles. Creates an amazing combination of sweet vinegary saltiness that I can't get enough of. Scorpion sauce is also amazing as a way to add even more heat if necessary without compromising too much on the flavor and I found it to also pair really well with chicken curry salad. The fruitiness of the scorpion sauce definitely adds to the mild curry taste alongside seriously amping up the heat if desired.

There’s a reason for white oak. It gives a vanilla flavor to many different foods. Whether it’s smoking meats. Aging whiskey or bourbons. It’s the flavor profile of the white oak.
