Never heard anybody claim Rooster Sauce tastes like tomaters or even vaguely resembles the flavor of Tabasco. Have you ever tried any of it? Not sure where a person might get hammered for six bucks to buy the stuff. The Chinese section of Wally World normally has it for less than 3 bucks a bottle and it last a long time. Its the only hot sauce allowed at my house and has been so for quite a few years now. Starting right about the time the stuff was discovered. .
