This review is from: Crystal Hot Sauce Louisiana's Pure Hot Sauce - 12 oz (Misc.)

Coming from south Texas with most of my family from generations of south Lousianans, hot sauce has been a staple condiment for most of my 50+ years. Certainly, my family never had the mania seen by some today for the absolute hottest sauce one could stand.

The most common hot pepper sauces are still staples in my kitchen: Crystal, Frank's, Louisiana, and Tabasco. They all have their uses, and I must admit I use Tabasco less than any because of its heat. One little drop can be enough for me. I enjoy Frank's most on meat products, not just Buffalo wings. I really like Louisiana Hot Sauce on eggs and other egg products. However, the most-used in my home is Crystal. Why? It's certainly hot, but not so overwhelming that heat drives out foods' flavors. I really love the Louisiana Hot Sauce's smoky flavor, but it's also twice as salty as Crystal. The garlic used in Frank's is also not desirable for all uses.

No, Crystal gets more use than any other. It costs a fraction of Tabasco--but then, someone has to pay for all that Tabasco advertising. I love the fact that I can actually fill a teaspoon with Crystal and down it straight without cauterizing my oral cavity.

Crystal may be considered the poor man's Louisiana pepper sauce, but it has been around a very long time and has endeared itself to an awful lot of people down here! Worth a try, and quite inexpensive to boot.

I eat this on everything that isn't sweet in taste. chips, burgers, salads, mexican food, chinese food, bread, sandwiches and my tongue:) this is an outstanding Hot sauce. It's not too hot but it tastes fantastic! it's easy for me to pour this and completely cover your food in it and that's what I do.

I don't know what else to say other than it's well worth a try if you haven't tried it already and at a cheap price, about $1.59 at the grocery store for this size, it's about 59 cents for the smaller I think.

bottom line, my favorite and the best I have tasted that won't catch my head on fire:)
