Tobasco sauce is too salty.
I think pointless too - may as well sprinkle some crushed chillies, chillie powder or chop some chillies up and put that on.
I always smell the vinegar. I like pickles, but I think vinegar ruins peppers.
I agree, I use a lot of dried, crushed peppers this time of year and fresh ones when I can get them. Getting peppers in the market is kind of difficult here, but with the influx of Mexican, South and Central American immigrants the supplies are growing.
I think there were about three of us who lived in Indiana who liked peppers when I first moved here.
