I think I like Louisiana Brand for the same reason most people don't: salt and vinegar. It is that vinegar taste that I remember from Trappey's on my grandmother's table over 60 years ago.

Willie, what you said about seasoning vs heat. Same holds true for lots of Mexican cuisine. So many people think good chili, guisada, or enchiladas has to be scorching hot but the original chili from way back when was/is not. It's all about blending flavors, and too much heat prevents ya from even know what it tastes like. The super hot dishes are a gringo thing.



I've always felt spiciness was a pleasant side effect of adding chile for flavor. My family is from New Mexico, and there's always been way more focus on the flavor of chile than the heat. Sometimes you get a hot batch of chiles and whoops your enchiladas/stew/whatever into being too spicy; the variety of heat levels in hatch chiles is bonkers.

I've always associated super spicy dishes with Thai and Indian food.

Tabasco sauce is fermented in whiskey barrels that were used to age Jack Daniels Whiskey..
