only one problem....... no jalapeno in the tartar sauce (Tabasco discontinued their Jalapeno flavor sauce last year in favor of the green pepper sauce)

i know a jalapeno IS a green color pepper but the current GP Tabasco tastes like green bell peppers(YUCK)..... so when i found out they were discontinuing the jalapeno stuff i raided the local Farmer Jack for 4 bottles
