[edit] Tobasco/Tabasco

Um...I'm fairly sure that Tobasco isn't a pepper. Klosterdev 17:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Tobasco isn't, Tabasco is a type of pepper, as well as a sauce. Don't know if you were refering to a typo you saw or misspelled it yourself. ~mess

-Actually there is a tabasco chile. Jsderwin 15:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bananas

I have heard from numerous sources that bananas can help with pain caused by spicy foods, so perhaps it should be worked into the article.

[edit] Pain relief

I, or rather, my wife discovered an interesting relief to pain from sauce that is "too hot." Salt. I gave her the "toothpick test" using Dave's Insanity Sauce at a restaurant, and the smallest little dab was too much. We didn't have anything on our table yet, so out of desperation she grabbed some salt and, surprisingly, it gave her some relief.

How can you counter act hot sauce in food or in our case a drink? Just wondering because we were working on a school project and we need to fix it.

[edit] Incorrect use of the words 'pepper' and 'chili'

I have notice the wrong word being used to describe the sauces. Chili: (or chilli) is a Southwest variety of sauce or sometimes a meal. Spices(usually mexican oregano, bay leaf, cumin) and sometimes meat and/or beans are added to the dish. Many times this dish is used to cover another dish, for example enchiladas. Pepper: pepper was the name Europeans called their discovery of chiles when visiting the Americas. Pepper varieties are in no way related to chiles. Though we call green peppers 'green peppers' they are really a variety of chiles. I think it's very important when we discuss this topic that we use the correct nomenclature.

[edit] Remove individual brand references

Have you ever been into the French Market in New Orleans? There are, literally, hundreds and hundreds of brands of hot sauce available, there and elsewhere. IMHO there is no need to list individual brands here where different types are described. It's just an invitation to spammers to create an unmanageably large list that detracts from the jist of the article. --Kbh3^rdtalk 01:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Chili Sauce" is not just Hot Sauce.

Chili Sauce is a condiment resembling a spiced catsup, but not as smoothly pureed. A recipe from 1903 contains tomatoes, onions, green peppers, brown sugar, vinegar,salt, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and paprika. The results are savory but not particularly hot. The present Joy of Cooking recipe uses the same ingredients, with the optional addition of hot peppers.Saxophobia 16:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] help lose weight?

According to the site below rule #30. Hot sauces help lose weight. Should this be added? http://www.rd.com/content/easy-ways-to-lose-weight-50-ideas/3/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael miceli (talk • contribs) 01:47, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
