OT: What's your favorite hot sauce?
John Popelish
or fourth bottle, trying different brands and types.
I started with Sontava XX Habanero sauce.
It has a nice vegetable flavor, as well as plenty of heat.
The carrots and lime come through clearly.
Then I went through a big bottle of Franks Red Hot Sauce.
Not nearly so hot, and not as interesting a flavor. Much
more sour than Sontava.
I got a bottle of green Goya Salsita. Fairly mild, and with
a nice fresh jalapeño flavor. I like it in scrambled eggs.
I moved up to El Yucateco Chile Habanero hot sauce. Plenty
hot but still, an interesting flavor that goes with lots of
different dishes. But be careful with the amount, or pay
the price.
I just opened a bottle of Tapatio Salsa Picante, that is
sort of a cross between simple hot sauce and steak sauce.
Lots of spices and complex after taste and not too hot. I
used lots of this at a restaurant to kick up the salsa
served with a bowl of corn tortillas, and went out bought my
own bottle.
Do you have any recommendations of something else I should
try. I'm not interested in the Insanity sauces that are
just mean.

Lingham's sauce, if you like sweet and middling hot. I love the stuff
on Pizza. I had a good friend who swore by "Ass in the Tub" hot sauce.
He also adventured with Endorphin Rush. In the end he died of cancer.
Don't know if it was sauce related.

Never mind the name, just try it:

Actually has a nice smoky taste. And it's hot.

I haven't tried any yet, but this guy
has a selection of hot stuff. I know he
ships to customers all over the place.
There was a mango chutney that looked
interesting ... I should stop by again.

I (and more importantly my wife) swear by Duck Butter. Some hot sauces are
hot just for the sake of being hot without much real flavor. Duck Butter
isn't insanely hot, but it has a real distinct flavor. Last year, a bottle
of Duck Butter was what we gave several friends for xmas.

I agree. I've purchased them mostly as joke items. They're also great for
training cats not to chew drapery or electrical cords.
I currently like simple hot sauces like Cholulas and Tapatio.
And of course, there's always a tupperware of chopped green chilli in the
fridge to put on eggs. The green chilli is bought at harvest time by the
bushel, roasted, bagged in 12oz freezer bags and kept frozen. 50-60 bags are
usually enough for the whole year.

I have a bottle of Cholulas in the cupboard, waiting its turn.

Yum! I may have to roast some, this fall.

I leave it to the pros. They use gas fired roasters where the chilis are
put in a steel cylinder cage and turned while they're roasted.

Melinda's XXXXtra Reserve. Great flavor and near-intense heat combined
brilliantly.
Marie Sharp's (not sure if you can still find it, the Melinda's line
is based on it).

my favorite "every day" condiment is Matouk's west indian hot
sauce...very tasty, and not ridiculously hot like the Insanity
stuff...definitely *not* tex-mex though...Matouk's has a very
delicious Caribbean accent

One really interesting sauce I've tried in the last few years was
AppleSass. There was a sampler at a local Firehouse Subs joint and I
haven't seen it again since (apparently Sam McGee's isn't making it
anymore).
It was hot, but not vicious.
My favorite will always be Tabasco red, but Yucatan Sunshine's habanero
is damn good. It's not overly hot--maybe warmer than Tabasco red--and has
a good flavor.

Or, make your own!
My girlfriend likes hot sauce on a lot of dishes, but was not
satisfied with the taste or the texture of the sauces. So she
basically buys a moderately "basic" hot sauce and adds :
- garlic;
- onions;
- chives;
- chunks of tomatoes;
- celery;
- etc...
Then add your favorite spices to reflect your taste or the "origin" of
the dish. The idea is that from a simple bottled hot sauce, you can
make a tasty variation depending on the dish itself.
Have fun!

Not much to add here, the Tapatio is my favorite, and I like La Victoria
medium to hot taco sauce. I stay away from the Habanero sauces ever since
a very bad flight home from Cancun in 2001. You might try the Chipotle
flavored Tabasco, which is not overly hot, but mighty tasty. I like making
my own sauces with Embassa chipotle peppers (canned). A bowl of mayonnaise
with 5-6 chopped up chipotle peppers in sauce makes a great dipping sauce
for artichokes.

I used to be a chilihead but unfortunately after 20 years developed an
allergy to chilis. Back in the day my favorites were El Yucateco
Habanero and Thai Sriracha sauce, especially the Shark brand. Another
good sauce which calls itself Sriracha sauce even though it isn't but
is still damn good is Tuong OT by Huy Fong. The Shark brand is the most
popular in Thailand. There are a few other brands of Thai Sriracha
sauces but I forget the names. Both of these are heavy on flavor and
moderate in heat for anyone who can handle habanero sauce. The Shark
Brand comes in 1 quart bottles for about $5.00 or so in Thai stores and
you can use it almost like ketchup, so you can really spread the flavor
around in a way you can't with the hotter sauces. A tablespoon or two
in a bowl of soup or a bowl or rice is excellent. This site sells The
Shark and Huy Fong brands:

I like the Tapatio myself. It's just hot enough and has a nice taste.
I've experimented with many, but always come back to Tapatio.

The Tabasco Habanero Sauce is outstanding and available in most grocery
stores. It is my favorite sauce for eggs, and is not a "mean" habanero
sauce like so many are.

Here's the direct link to Duck Butter:

Man, I started noting sauce names on the back of a business
card to put in my wallet. I'm up to a 3 by 5 file card, and
am starting on the back. I may need to reprint it with a
small font, so everything fits.
I went to this web site and think I recognize the Tuong Ot
sauce from the last time I was in Big Lots (of all places).
You never know what you will find there, and it probably
won't be there when you go back. But I doubt I will order
any sauces right now. It is fun to have a watch list and
just have an ongoing treasure hunt while shopping for other
stuff. This thread has been a big help.

That bloody mary is something goofy only a Texan could come up with. Try a bm
with Zing-Zang doctored up with some fresh horseradish, Tabasco, and seasoned
salt on the lip.
