Hot sauce -

Speaking of Hot Sauce. I just bought these.

I like to make my own. I use a habanero hot sauce in my BBQ sauce fro chicken quarters and pork ribs.

I've made my own out of Everclear and Carolina Reapers my friend grows. That wound up being too hot even for me, so I stick to Valentina Extra Spicy.

 

[PsychoNerd054]

I'd say Louisiana and Tabasco depending on what you put it on.

I really don't like Siracha. I have no idea why people think that shit tastes good, it's disgusting.

Tendies - Texas Pete, tastes better on chicken then most of the common sauces like Tobasco or Franks.
Mexican - I alternate between El Yucateco XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik, Valentina Black, and Iguana Radioactive. All of them are fairly hot, but with a lot of flavor. Valantina is basically unusable outside of Mexican though.
Pizza - Iguana Gold. Pretty mild, relatively speaking with a strong habanero flavor bordering on fruity
When I'm at the local Mexican place with a hot sauce bar- Some random assortment of 3/4 and 4/4 sauces on their heat scale, like 4-5 souffle cups worth mixed in with the salsa or dumped on top of the wet burrito. I die in fire and am reborn.

 

[Mazinkaiser]

Not a fan of sriracha in anything but a burrito, but Yellowbird Habanero is my go to for pretty much anything edible.

 

[[Redacted]-san]

Siracha or regular hot sause for me, and some lime hot sause, but that's not as spicy though.

 

[Orion Balls]

Favourites: Cholula, and Eaton's Jamaican Scotch Bonnet
Least Favourite: any type of sriracha.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Favorite: Gochujang, cholula, Frank's
Least: Sriracha, Lousiana

Still keep my least favorites around. Never know when you need them.

I hate the smell of vinegar so it’s been hard trying to pick out a good hot sauce. Tabasco, no can’t do it. I’ve tried a few Buffalo sauces (the smell isn’t so bad and I love the cayenne pepper “burn”). Nothing I buy compares to the restaurant versions though.

Try a Texas style hot sauce, they're generally pepper mashes where the first ingredients are the peppers, with vinegar low on the ingredients list. There are also some out there with none at all, although I haven't tried them since I like vinegar fine.

Tapatio is my go-to but I've more recently started using the green Cholula. The black El Yucateco I like to use on Egg McMuffins. I got a creamy hot sauce recently that I don't remember the brand name, but that shit was tasty with roasted vegetables.

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

Mexican: Valentina Extra Hot is a good, basic Mexican tasting sauce. Fat Cat Surprisingly Mild Guajillo Ghost is completely mild but has a nice flavor. Unfortunately, a quarter of its volume is seemingly chilis chopped about 1/4" square.

Habenero: I love Melindas. Not that hot, but very tasty. Marie Sharp's stuff is hotter but a bit less flavorful. Yellowbird hits the sweet spot between the two. Secret Aardvark is a great mustardy sauce.

Scotch bonnets: Inner Beauty is similar to Secret Aardvark, though not as funky.

If it's Mexican I typically go for El Yucateco Habanero. If it's fried I go for Louisiana. I tried Yellow Bird once and it was too hot for me, or maybe I just put too much in my wrap. Del Taco Inferno sauce if I don't have a bottle on hand.

 

[Don Juan El Tardo]

I have hot sauce at least once a day, and what I put on depends on what I am eating. The sauces I consume the most are:

Sriracha, Tapatio, Valentina (Extra Hot), Franks Red Hot, Tabasco, Louisiana, and Cholula. Been meaning to add a Jalapeno pepper based sauce into that mix but I haven't found one that really stands out to me.

 

[Ciscoipphone]

tabasco

 

[Buster O'Keefe]

Encona (might be a Britbong company: website is fucked atm) made a Jamiacan 'inspired' sauce a few years ago that was outrageously tasty and goes for serious money on ebay now.

 

[Screw Danlon]

Just wanted to show off my first not-shit batch of homemade hot sauce.

Decided it would be something to do during lockdown, and this was my first good one.

Approx. 400g habaneros.
100g jalapeño
150g onion
30g garlic.
1/4 cup lemon juice
And then cover in 3.5% brine

2 weeks fermenting, then blended with rice vinegar and oil.

next I have my eye on making a Scotch Bonnet & Scotch Whiskey hot sauce.

 

[AmbiTron]

I'm a big fan of Secret Aardvark habanero sauce. It is a bit chunky, great flavor and packs a good amount of heat. Probably too much for those unaccustomed but I enjoy it.

 

[Jeff_the_Thriller]

Cholula for breakfast food and Yucateco for everything else. I love the taste of habanero but anything spicier is just hot for the sake of being hot with no real taste.
