The word 'tabasco' is actually a Central American Indian word and there is some debate over its actual meaning. Some claim it means "land where the soil is humid", and others claim that it means "place of coral or oyster shell". Either is appropriate to the soil and/or nearby seabeds of Avery Island, Louisiana.

FAQ181-2886
As a circle of light increases so does the circumference of darkness around it. - Albert Einstein
 
Indeed, Louisiana is where most hot and spicey stuff came into American cuisine. Heavy spicing was a good way to preserve food, and disguise potential rancidness.
As people moved further west, they were introduced to the "southwest" flavors of Mexico, and Central American use of the jalapeno and habanero chili peppers.
Early Scottish settlers brought with them the method of spicing and curing foods by burying in the ground.
My local Chuy's bar/restaurant has six or seven sauces for their salsa bar. And on request, will make up the most killer, smokingest sauce that will make you cry.
In contrast, India's range of hot spice is not agreeable, or palatable to me personally, but none the less very powerfull.
I am partial to mustards, {not the bland yellow slop}
and will put it on most anything.

<mustards, {not the bland yellow slop}
What I call "American mustard" or "shirt-ruining mustard".

I'm fond of Colman's, personally, although I found Grey Poupon to be a huge improvement on what was previously available and still like it.

Don't know why I'd like to eat sauce that makes me cry and leaves me in pain for a half hour, but to each his own. :)
 
I guess I would like this thread to be closed, but I do not know how to do that. I believe it is an improper title, and I should just leave this area to all of you who best fit in.
If any one can accomplish this, thanx. So long.

I'm not sure what lead you to feel that you don't "fit in". I hope we didn't scare you off with the directionless meanderings in this thread.

Alas, there is no real way for the OP to "close" a thread when (s)he is done with it. After enough time has passed with no new entries, a thread will automatically lock down.

Michael, I hope you will reconsider. I have been a member of Tek-Tips for 4 1/2 years now, and I can honestly say that no one here has ever posted anything with malice or ill intent.


This forum, and many others here, are just like family and friends. I have seen nothing that would indicate that you don't fit in. It has been a pleasure to have you here so far, and I hope you will elect to stay and be part of The Gang.[2thumbsup]

Good on ya'll.
Just have not been feeling very social lately. I'll stay.
Corrections are appreciated, not disdained. I am still very active in the printers forums as that is what I do all day.
Thanks for the care. Michael
