A rimshot is a percussion technique used to produce an accented snare drum backbeat. This sound is produced by simultaneously hitting the rim and head of a drum with a drum stick: "the sound is part normal snare and part loud, woody accent, generally sharper, brighter and more cuttAAUGHGHGhghighosfdigsdhfs

Rimshot indeed, my friend.

No, I think they took the chihuahua's share of the market!

That's true. There will be much yelling (and rolling) in 2019.

Why do I think-- no wait, let me rephrase that -- why am I fifteen thousand percent sure that this bit is going to backfire on <s>Flack</s> all of us the next time Paul makes his rounds here.

Thankfully in this thread, it was the last post on the previous page, which Paul never looks at until years later.

I know, right?

In 1981, the company introduced “mild” and “hot” varieties to accompany the original “medium” Picante sauce. In 1989, Pace Foods added Thick & Chunky salsa to their product line. It is a thicker salsa with large chunks of vegetables.

The growing demand for picante sauce and salsa reflected the changing demographics of America as well as the increasing popularity of Mexican restaurants and cuisine. Over time, consumers preferences turned toward Mexican foods, such as salsas, and in 1991, Mexican sauces overtook ketchup as the top-selling condiment in the United States in total dollar sales, with Pace Picante sauce and salsa taking the lion's share of the market.

Rochester based hot sauce? Are you kidding? Somehow I see a rerun of the commercial for Pace picante sauce, where the guy mentions to a bunch of tough Texans that it's made in San Antonio while the other guy's salsa is made in New York City.

"New York City!" they exclaim in horror and look at each other, then one says, "Get a rope."

Yesterday I received Heartbreaking Dawn's "Reapercussion" limited edition sauce with "7 Pod Primo" chiles, supposedly one of the more flavorful X-TREME chiles.

It tastes like pure pepper mash, with just enough vinegar and agave syrup added for some texture and to round it out just enough to be edible. It is incredibly, searingly hot for a non-extract sauce, and it impressed me so much I went back through my Heartbreaking Dawn's catalog, tasted 'em all, lined 'em up by heat level (most to least) and gave 'em a whole shelf of my fridge.

Going from left to right, the fourth one (1542) is the first one I would recommend to anyone who wasn't already a serious, serious heat fanatic, because the first three, while very, very tasty, and perfectly good on all sorts of food, will likely kill anyone who hasn't worked up to them.

Also, check the fine print on the bottle. Some sauces are other sauces that folks have paid to put their own labels on. So there's a (small) chance I've actually already had it, but with a different name.

Certainly! My hot sauce enthusiast career is at a REBIRTH!!

So i was at the grocery store today and I saw a line of Rochester based hot sauces.

If I mail you (Pinback) a bottle can I get an honest review? Generally speaking, I know little about hot sauce. You drip it on food and the food becomes spicy. Sometimes the sauce is green but mostly red in color.

No, no no! The Avery aisle is the place in Staples where they sell label sheets.

And who eats Tabasco? Come on, they water it down when they sell it, the way drug dealers cut heroin! I'll tell you what's hot sauce: the uncut stuff. When McIlheny Co. moves the unaged barrels, a fork lift usually good for twenty years wears out in three because the fumes rot the steel. The fumes alone! Now that's what I call spicy!

Although, in the end, don't we all arrive at the same conclusion:

That Huy Fong Sriracha is all you really need.

Sometimes you find a domain name so good you just have to buy it.

I can't believe "averyisle.com" was not taken. I mean, I know nobody calls it "Avery Isle" instead of "Avery Island", but still. You'd think Tabasco themselves would have snapped this up.

Maybe they will later, for a million dollars. Then I can stop posting about Tabasco to you miserable ingrates and get my ticket out of this dump.

I'm in a ridiculously overpriced hotel. There's a sushi bar down there. I order a spicy tuna roll to go. Since it's twice the price of anything else, it ensures nobody will do anything right.

I didn't get any wasabi.

Oh what's that? A bottle of Tabasco?

Guess what's better than sushi with wasabi.

Fuckin' TABASCO SUSHI.
