We buy Tapatio. I'll eat the McIhenny jalapeno as I like green sauce, but it's hardly stellar. I'd have to try Rickey's before slapping down cold hard cash for it. Next time I'm in FL maybe.
In Portugal, I was impressed with the food:
little custard tarts, (Pasteis de Nata); roast cuttlefish with smashed potatoes with butter and parsley; amazing mushroom risotto; tiny crispy fried sardines; grilled shrimp in butter and garlic; we were sitting around near the Mosteiro de Jeronimos in Lisbon when an American gap year group showed up. Their director had a freshly baked box of Pasteis de Belem (a local variant on the custard tarts). She passed them out to the kids. They were nice and spoke to us for a while, trading experiences of the country. Their director came by and gave us each a tart, and my god, they were so warm and rich and delicious. It was like a religious experience.
