Talium liquaminum nostro tempore celeberrimum Tabasco appellatur; cuius famam iam diu aemulant Crystal Hot Sauce et Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Origo et historia

Liquamen sub nomine Anglico pepper sauce primum ut videtur descripsit Gulielmus Dampier, qui anno 1686 in insula Iamaica observavit. Eo tempore sucus lumiarum in hoc liquamen incorporatus est, cuius locus recentius ab aceto suppletus erit:

The lime is a sort of bastard or crab-limon ... The juice is ... used for a particular kind of sauce, which is called pepper-sauce, and is made of cod-pepper, commonly called Guinea-pepper, boiled in water, and then pickled with salt, and mixt with lime-juice to preserve it.
