No offense, but an alternative to Tabasco!? There’s so many good hot sauce brands out there today. Probably cheaper, too…

If you’re happy to accept at least another non-American suggestion, this sauce from here in New Zealand is very much Tabasco-esque (being a thin-textured, barrel-aged sauce made with chilis and vinegar), but in my opinion tastes a lot better due to containing a higher proportion of chilis.

Best of luck in your hunt for the perfect EU-made sauce, I hope we can help out in the meantime :)

Grow your own peppers and cook them in white vinegar and salt before pureeing them with a little xanthan gum (to prevent separation).

Thanks. ;)
