As Art knows, I have opinions
On at least two occasions I have been "gifted" with giant bottles of Texas Pete. This has been in wry response to prior comments on the topic of hot sauce. Over Dunn (who may chime in if he reads this thread) tried to poison me with it on a BBQ joint crawl in Lexington a few years back and my contest cooking partner BMerrill (who witnessed the crime) later tried to foist some off on me. Neither attempt was successful.
Fact be told, TP has a superb marketing force and, I am told, GIVES IT AWAY to restaurants. Being cost-conscious, they easily fall into the trap. Fact be told, if TP was the only hot sauce available I would probably consume it since I am rather fond of hot stuff in bottles and despise bland food, often slathering boring pap with something to wake it up. Indeed, I have probably had it disguised as something else or cleverly hidden in something else many times. I am still alive
I have a penchant for the occasional sarcastic remark and do dearly love good sarcasm. However, it is a dangerous form of humor and it has gotten me in plenty of trouble through the years. Thus, my intent here is comical, not to impugn anyone's favorite brand of red flavoring
. If, perchance, I have offended you, please be assuaged. If you really want to be offended I could do a much better job of it. Just ask my friends on Facebook. I apologize to them on what amounts to pretty much a daily basis.
End of thread hijack . . . we now return to the original topic.
