The good news is that people who want to keep Kosher are generally aware of the rules and can decide for themselves the positions they want to take (some change out the silver and plates between the Gefilte Fish and the main course while others would never think of such a thing!) or do the research to be sure they're making the right choices -- for them.
It's the vinegar that makes the Tabasco questionable, for instance. But, some people aren't going to make the choice to care about which kind of alcohol was fermented to make the vinegar that went into the tabasco. Corn, ok. Barley, not so much. But, again, drilling down to that level of detail isn't for everyone.
But, here, everyone gets to be right. And, I would argue that if this level of detail is very important to you for what goes on in your kitchen, then you should never take ANY recipe at face value that includes a few dashes of any sauce out of a pre-made mixture. But, I'm guessing for the crowd that knows all the rules are already double checking everything anyway.

This looks absolutely delicious. Ok and I think adding a cup of wine instead of water will really make this dish. (Don't shoot me down I am not Jewish) But enjoy food from all cultures and countries. :)

Tabasco sauce is not kosher for Passover. Please be aware.

And neither is Worcester sauce. Not to mention as its made with fish it's not kosher to mix with meat.
You really should make your readers aware that your recipies are not kosher, let alone kosher for Passover. Perhaps before posting a recipie for a Jewish holiday you should run it past a competent rabbi.

Please be aware......There are alternative hot sauces that are KFP and Liebers makes a KFP Worcestershire sauce. Let's also review kosher rules, fish is parve so it can be mixed with meat. Any other "facts" you want me to debunk?

While there may be kosher Passover hot sauce, actually many, Tabasco is not. And while fish is parev and can be eaten at the same meal, fish may not be mixed into meat dishes. Many in fact change silverware and plates after a fish course before eating meat. Any fact you would like me to debunk? . Please check the schulchan aruch, the gemmorah, and rabbinic opinion first. (PS, I do have simcha)

You have a simcha? Who doesn't at some point in their life? BUT not so many have a smicha.
