I buy store-brand for almost everything, but why can't the imitators just get this right?

>buy store-brand processed shit
It's always a gamble. They don't need to perfect it, it just needs to be there for cheap ass bastards like yourself.
>>7329327
the store brand isn't going to spend the time and money to barrel age their pepper pulp
>>7329327
Store brand cereal is the same for me OP.
>>7329327
Because it's a pretty solid product and it's still aged in barrels for like a year or two for what I know. There's still cheap hot sauces that are good but it's hard to mimic the tabasco flavor.
>>7329327
Barrel Aging actually has properties. Other companies don't have the established means to barrel age the same way Mc.ilhenny can.
>>7329327
Tabasco has their own proprietary breed of pepper.
>>7329327
tabasco is based and unique, most other sauces are easily imitated.

I find this to be the most ineffective and bland sauce I've yet found
How do you use it?

How the actual fuck
Generic brand Tabasco producers dont use the same seeds, its a certain type that Mc.Ilhenny grows for seeds and ships to their farms. And they dont use old Jack Daniels barrels to age them in, but honestly i dont think where the barrels come from make much difference, they plane the inside of the barrels to remove the char and then clean them to get rid of any lingering alcohol.

They just don't use the same quality raw material and they water it down a lot more. Got some kroger hot sauce. It ain't awful, but you wouldn't write home about it. Thankfully a good chunk of other store brands are good. Kroger makes a pretty thick chicken noodle broth that I'm crazy about.
