Food Favorite Hot Sauce?

I'm a Texas Pete girl all the way

 

I bring this back every time I go to Ohio.



Otherwise, I just get Franks.

 

Someone gave us a bottle of Melinda's habanero pepper sauce and I really liked it. I just ordered another from amazon when I couldn't find it at the grocery store. Its got a really nice flavor and not too hot.

 

Another vote for Frank's

 

My favorite comes from a local guy at "Freddie's Tortas and Tacos" Ask Eden or Monkie I think they've both had it, I know they've had his breakfast tortas. It's a HOT habanero with a pinch of horseradish thrown in. As far as available internationally I like-



El Yucateco XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Mayan Style Habanero Hot Sauce


I've found it at Wal-Marts and other national chains on a regular basis.

Be warned it will wake you up.

 

Siracha and Franks Red Hot. Will use those two on just about anything.

 

So you're the little old lady in those "Franks Red Hot... I put that shit on everything" ads?

 

haha, pretty much. I've seen a lot of the other hot sauces in the stores but to be honest i'm a little chicken to try them. I've had one at a friends house once that burned the crap out of my mouth and was just a horrid experience.


I do remember going to Chicago to this louisina themed restaurant a couple of years ago, they gave you cornbread as an appetizer and there was like 10 - 15 bottles of different hot sauces on the table. We tried a bunch of them and some were really good. Wish I had wrote down the name of them.

I have tried the Tobasco jalapeno before and it was quite nice. i don't like the red one. too hot for me. Although i will use it in drinks and cooking.

Franks I can have direct - perfect level of heat for me.

 

I tried Scorned Woman hot sauce once and it put a blister on my lip. Ass in Space is also ridiculous. A few weeks ago, I was able to try an unnamed ghost pepper sauce at our favorite brewpub. I put a tiny bit (literally half a drop) on my pinky and touched it to my tongue... Within 15 seconds, I was totally covered in goose bumps, all of my hair was standing up, and my mouth felt like it was on slow, building fire. It lasted 45 minutes. Some hot sauce is too over done. I still love sriracha and the local Cajun place's YaYa sauce. I prefer garlicky hot sauce to vinegary sauces like tabasco and loosianna hot sauce. That stuff has no point.

 

I used to be a Tabasco fan, but then I lived in Portugal where the local hot sauce was oil-based, not vinegar based like Tabasco. Now I find that Tabasco has too much of a vinegar flavour to do it for me. These days, our "go-to, add to everything" sauce is
it's still vinegar based, but more of a sweet-sour flavour. Not too much fire, but lots of flavour.
