Tabasco is good in certain, particular applications. For example, in the cocktail sauce that is often served with shrimp in the U.S. Using it as a general purpose, "broad spectrum" hot sauce is a mistake. Actually, the Tabasco brand has a habanero sauce that is not just habanero pepper but a combination of flavors, that I much prefer for more general use (when choosing from amongst their products). In addition to the balance of flavors, the "pepper" flavor of the habanero is much more enjoyable in it than is the pepper flavor, of itself, in their traditional Tabasco Sauce.
