Hot Sauce. What's your favorite?

[RandyWayne]

I have several! From the very mildest to the barely tolerable.

None of the above.

[The Matt]

I like tobaccer sauce

[stony ground]

My favorite hot sauce is El Yucateco Chile Habanero, or as I affectionately call it "I Can't Believe It's Not Lava" :uhoh

http://www.hotsaucesnmore.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/EYGHS40_265.png

If you like habanero sauces, you will be hard pressed to find a better one than this one.

[MawMaw]

I like the regular Tabasco Sauce.

[Pressing-On]

I don't care for Tabasco unless I am making BBQ sauce.

I love my sauce to be HOT and any sauce with tomatillo and a little cilantro is great. We like to make our own.

[Dagwood]

Since I don't care for hot sauce, here's what I eat in its place...

From the mainstream selections, On The Border's Medium salsa...

When I want something different yet oh so awesome, Albert's found here: http://www.janannafoods.com/products.html, finely produced from Kilgore, Texas!

[Bro. Robbins]

Not a real fan of hot sauce... but I do love my Pepper Vinegar Sauce for my collards.... just Sunday I ate an entire jar of canned collard/mustard greens that had been cooked in good ole bacon greese and then drowning in that wonderful pepper Vinegar Sauce.... but that's the extent of hotness at my house.

[Hoovie]

I enjoy most freshly made super hot salsas - including Habs.

[Barb]

I don't like things too, too hot, but if I need it I use Frank's Hot Sauce...

For BBQ, I use Sweet Baby Ray's Honey or Brown Sugar for chicken, ribs, and sausage, and Kraft Honey for sloppy joe's.

[Pilgrum]

I don't like most hot sauces because they are way to vinigery. Otherwise I love a good habenaro based sauce. One I found that is REALLY! good is "Pain Is Good" from Original Juan, Batch 37 Garlic Style Hot Sauce. http://www.originaljuan.com/hot-sauces/batch-37-garlic-style-hot-sauce
It's a little pricey though so as of late I've been making my own which is very similar and a lot cheaper. When it makes your lips numb then you know it's hot enough.

I actually like the flavor of Frank's Hot Sauce (especially when drizzled on a hot dog in a bun!), but really like stuff to have a bit more of a kick to it. When we go to Buffulo Wild Wings I always get my wings with the Wild sauce (one step down from the Blazin) not because the Blazin is too hot (it isn't) but I just like the flavor of the Wild soooo much better.

Now if we're talking BBQ sauces, my ALL TIME favorite is Famous Dave's Devil Spit. :)

I have tried THIS stuff a few times and while it is definitely hot enough for me, I just don't care for the flavor that much.

So, are you a Ghost pepper type gal?

[Ferd]

I use Tabasco nearly every day.

Matouk's Calypso is also a HUGE favorite and its several times hotter than Tabasco.

Siriacha is also in my regular rotation. if it is asian food, this stuff goes on. be careful its flaming hot!

I only use this as well. I can and will not stand anything else. (Mom tried so hard to change my taste in food, but in this as other things, I am my father's son.):highfive

Just sayin'!

[Ferd]

I love hot/spicy food. My wife gets mad at me for hitting my food with heat before even tasting it. Spice is a flavor people. and a good one...

having said that, I do not like the idea of hot sauces that just bring heat. if they dont bring flavor that is good then they are useless.

[RandyWayne]

I have no clue who this guy is but I survived the same challenge and have the bumper sticker to prove it. :)

Which is why I choose the Wild sauce instead of the Blazin at Buffalo Wild Wings even though the Blazin is a bit hotter -it just doesn't taste as good.

I make my own BBQ Sauce. Pour Ketchup in a bowl, cover Ketchup with Worcestershire, squirt some mustard, a little Tabasco and honey. You can use brown sugar if you don't have honey on hand. It's a good sauce.

[KeptByTheWord]

The only hot sauce I like, is salsa. I make my own with tomatoes from my garden, and jalapenos, Rotel, and fresh cilantro. I could care less for any of the above mentioned varieties compared to the freshly made sauce from my own backyard :)

Isn't salsa generally, ohhh, one or two degrees hotter than, say, peanut butter? LOL



Unless of course your talking about THIS kind of salsa.

On the subject of Peanut Butter, I bought an organic brand that is so much better tasting than Peter Pan or Jiffy. It's made by Nut'N Better. Very good! :thumbsup

[RandyWayne]

Back in Wisconsin, THIS is generally what much of the population considered to be "spicy!". It literally begs to be openly and loudly mocked! LOL

I only buy Heinz. Now they have a corn syrup free choice. My husband wants to buy the cheapest and says, "It all tastes the same. You never eat Ketchup anyway. Why do you care what brand you buy?" LOL!

Haha, well... actually if you add enough jalapenos and the hot Rotel, it is pretty warm, at least for me! My taste buds are still intact, I think yours must have burnt up a long time ago ;)

I had to. My eyes were getting blurry. Then, I thought maybe it was one of those pictures where you have to stare at the center for 30 seconds and then look at a blank wall. Still, no salsa. So, then I thought maybe I had to get back from the screen, depending on whether I saw Albert Einstein or Marilyn Monroe......still, no salsa.

So, I'm seriously stumped.

I am with him! I cannot stand the stuff!

Every burger I have ever ordered from any fast food place over the past 30 years has been a special with "No ketchup!". The only time I have ever consumed it is when it has been an ingredient in bbq sauce, where the vinegar is usually enough to mask the dead-body like stench.

[KeptByTheWord]

I will. I'll make some this weekend and let you know :highfive

[KeptByTheWord]

My hubs eats his burger plain and dry, cheese only. Ketchup nowhere in sight. But the potatoes will be drowned out in the ketchup, and it has to be Hunts. LOL!

What Mexican restaurant do you think has the best salsa/hot sauce?

[Pressing-On]

Awesome. I have some tomato plants coming up in my compost pile! I'm going to leave them there and see what they do. I love growing peppers, okra and tomatoes. I can buy anything else I need, at a more affordable price than growing it, in the organic section of my grocery store.

I can't stand Mayo or Ketchup - yuck! And he says the same thing about the Mayo. "You never eat it, why do you care?" LOL!

I have tasted my BBQ sauce because I have to serve it, but I don't use it on my meat. I can't imagine ruining the awesome flavor of a steak coming off the grill. Can you imagine the free range steaks the trailriders ate, back in the day? That had to have been some good beef!

We ate at a place, in Austin, called Torchy's Taco. They had the best Queso I have ever eaten. They put a dollop of sour cream, chopped up green onions, grated cheese, cilantro and more hot sauce in the middle of the Queso. The most wonderful, fattening, glob of calories in the world!!!!!

Ditto. This is a hot topic.

[forgivenson]

Actually, my favorite hot sauce is straight fresh ground Horseradish.....w/ no mayonaise or anything added. There's a little pub in Cascade Locks, Oregon that has it made special for them. I don't go there for beer anymore, but I still buy thier Horseradish.

[seekerman]

Depends, but this goes great with chicken or seafood.

Seekerman, that's some great hot sauce!!!!

I'd sure like to know how we can go from talking about HOT sauce to talking about ketchup tho. Eewwwww, not even in the same ballpark, people!

As far as a favorite, I really like fresh homemade HOT HOT salsa the best. We have a couple of Mexican restaurants around here that make it fresh themselves. They're my favorites. But they are not chains so it wouldn't do me any good to tell you what they are. Sorry :(

My mom bought me a 3 pack of hot sauce for Christmas. One was Butt Buster Hot Sauce (that's the one I'm using right now), but I can't remember the other two. They're all of that caliber tho. Yum!

Amen on the homemade salsa!! I don't buy canned or bottled salsa anymore. Just chop up fresh tomato, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, add some of my special homemade hot sauce, or use fresh habenaros, process in a processor for a few seconds and wah-la, super fresh super healthy salsa.
