Hot sauce

[RussianParasite]

Tabasco Chipotle,

This is my go-to for Mexican food. I play around with other sauces which are also good, but if I want to know I will enjoy some food with my hot sauce I reach for this.

I purchased the below sauce on a whim the other day. If any Kiwis have expierence with it and have recommendations on what it goes well with please let me know. I’ll update this post after I try it and give a brief review.



ETA: this is my promised review. Taste is really great when combine with Mexican food. The spice level is mild or mild-moderate (to my taste but this may vary). It’s a nice, somewhat sweet, garlic taste that blends well with rice and beans. I’d give it a solid 8/10.

Cholula is my go to. Usually green pepper or chili lime. Chili garlic is good too. I saw Old Bay hot sauce at Dave's before. Bottle said limited edition so I got some. Basically your standard Red's-tier hot sauce blended with Old Bay seasoning. Pretty good for eggs or pizza

I like most hot sauces, except for Tabasco which I hate. This is my favorite though. It’s got a thick consistency that I like and the garlic flavor is nice. Someone that isn’t used to eating hot sauce may find it too spicy, a little hotter than your average sauz.

As an American, I eat hot sauce with most meals. In my kitchen are:

Tapatio (default)
Frank's Red Hot (chicken & pizza)
Green Tabasco (eggs, breakfast stuff)
Valentina (not a big fan)
Crystal (pork)
Da' Bomb (cooking only)
Salsa Huichol (not sure how I feel about it)

I will often just dash a little Frank's or Tapatio in my mouth when I see it in the cupboard. Recently got Reaper Sauce from Puckerbutt and fuck is it hot. It actually has a nice fruity flavor to it though. I recommend it.

I'm a big fan of hot sauces, usually the hotter the better - however, a milder one that I've formed a definite fondness for recently is this one.

This is basically a good quality Worcestershire Sauce given a decent kick of chilli heat. Marvellous on scrambled eggs, fry-ups in general, and will probably make a Bloody Mary with a bit of bite to it.

whatever the generic packet of HOT SAUCE they have at WaWa
it was pretty good

Most overrated sauce: sriracha. This is okay for the kind of foods it's traditionally served with but is not the kind of all purpose hipster sauce that can just be put on everything for no reason.

I have to disagree with this one. This is actually sriracha's main selling point--it's essentially a condiment for anything that could use a more garlicy flavor. Sriracha on pizza, for example, is amazing. I use it often in cooking when I want both heat and garlic in the flavor.

it's very good on pizza
but it's in a weird spot
it _is_ really good for a lot of stuff, but it's still overrated for the way it was memed to death a few years back

Well, it's funny because I got into sriracha for that reason before it was memed heavily. Then again, I make a lot of stir fry and Asian food, so it's perfect for my usage.

that Selma Hayak stuff is good too, stronger but similar

I really like the super-hot ones but I have to admit Cholula is one of my go-tos. Great flavor that goes well with a ton of foods and it has a different taste from other brands with a similar heat level.

Next time you pick up something from Puckerbutt, buy some of the Gator sauce. It's easily one of my all-time favorites.

This stuff right here is the nectar of the fucking gods.



Damn Yankee, "Too Much".

It's a blend of green bell pepper, Chipotle and Habanero. I normally hate Habanero, not because it's spicy because it's just so fucking sour and makes everything taste like Habanero. But combined with smokey Chipotle and Sweet Bells? Fucking perfection.

I pay to have this shit mailed to me.

I actually picked it up recently and I really like it. I also got the reaper squeezins: holy fuck.

I also got some Melinda's ghost pepper wing sauce and am enjoying it a lot. Very nice balance between big heat and big flavor. Undeniably "wing" in flavor (Vegans be aware, it has a tiny amount of butter in it).

Oh yeah, I've got the Squeezins too...used too much at first and the ringsting left my cracks of doom raw. Great flavor though, if someone bred a Reaper with low heat it'd be an amazing base for any hot sauce.

Need to see if he's got the Reaper peanuts back in stock.

I'm the sort of lucky son-of-a-gun who both likes really hot food and never pays for it later. I think my gut magically neutralizes just about all capsaicin. I'm sure this will change as I age but the only heat that's made me burn from my esophagus to my stomach was when I chewed 16,000,000 sco. bubblegum not too long ago. That was one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had. My stomach was upset for over a day but still no sting.

I've got pretty good tolerance too...Gator is about the highest I can go without ringsting, but it depends on what I'm having with it. Anything at a habanero's Scoville rating or below is 100% safe.

The worst was back when I was in college and did a ghost pepper hot sauce "drinking contest" while drunk at the bar. That capsaicin pain is something else without anything to absorb it.

 

[AnOminous]

I recently got some Famous Dave's Devil's Spit sauce. It's really a barbecue sauce and not a hot sauce per se, but it's hotter than normal barbecue sauce while being on the low end of hot sauce levels of spice.

I normally hate Habanero, not because it's spicy because it's just so fucking sour and makes everything taste like Habanero.

Habanero isn’t usually sour if it is used when it is ripe. They usually have a sweet almost floral flavor with a bite of bitter tropical heat for the hotter ones.

Melinda's ghost pepper wing sauce and am enjoying it a lot.

That sauce is tits!

I don’t have that problem either. People have told me that it is some kind of super-power.

I’ve recently been enjoying “Blair’s Sudden Death sauce with Jolokia.” I can’t find the equivalent in America and most of the type on the bottle appears to be Japanese. It is a nice ‘middle of the range’ hot sauce if you really dig spicy like I do. (Everyone else around here thinks it is too fucking hot though.)

Accidentally got the extra hot version of Sriraja Panich. Great sauce. Somehow never get the ring of fire. Only time my body reacts badly to spicy food is when it's pickled jalapenos. I'm not sure why.
