Texas Pete's Pepper Sauce

I received a jar of this as a gift. It's little tabasco peppers soaking in vinegar. It has a shaker top so I think the idea is to shake out the vinegar like a hot sauce.

But the vinegar tastes like vinegar - no heat. Should I smash up some of the peppers? How do people normally use this stuff?

Never heard of it, so I looked up some reviews.

My grandmother -- an old-school Southern cook -- would not be caught DEAD without TPPS on her table. Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, crayon greens -- if it was green, she'd eat it, after dousing it with Texas Pete.

Sure, with the number of peppers in the jar, you run out of vinegar quickly. So, put some more in, goober! White vinegar, red vinegar, rice vinegar -- it's all good.

It's not often that you can stump the Google, but "crayon greens" does it.

Anybody know what crayon greens are?

I never quite understood these. My impulse would be to eat the pickled peppers as a condiment and treat the vinegar as just something they need to sit in.

I’m aware of the brand, but if the vinegar doesn’t take the heat I don’t see the point.

It’s possible that it takes the heat, just not enough for me to notice.

Pepper sauce like Texas Pete’’s is a standard accompaniment for greens where I’m from. It’s not supposed to be particularly hot. That’s why God gave us Tabasco sauce (or Louisiana Gold or Crystal...). It’s just flavored vinegar.

Some people use it on fried fish, too. I just use it on greens.

MA, do you have an answer about crayon greens? Or was that just a joke about the grandmother using the pepper sauce on anything.....

I've never heard of crayon greens.

I think it was meant to be a joke, but it would have been more effective if it had been written s "green crayons."
