I have a tobasco scorpion pepper sauce and love the flavor but without fail it turns my rear end hole into a flaming ball of fire every time. It's pretty hot but not excessive and no other hot sauce does this

Was that the super limited edition one that sold out on their website in minutes? I always wanted to try that one.

Literally only a few Yellowbird sauces. It's up at the front, at least at the two REIs I've been to, and it's the only place I've ever seen it for sale IRL.

Tapatio is just Cholula without paying extra for the wooden cap

I can't eat eggs without it

The glue holding the wooden top onto the plastic cap of my green Cholula let go and it pisses me off because it just spins but I also can’t have Cholula on my table without a wooden top so it is what it is.

Not gonna lie, the wooden cap matters to me. The Chipotle flavor has a stained wooden cap :buddy:

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I've tried probably a dozen of the commonly recommended sauces from the internet but there's one I fell in love with: Marie Sharp's Beware Comatose Habanero Pepper




unfortunately Kroger seems to have stopped carrying it, so after my 4-bottle reserve runs out I either need to find another local source or start ordering online

I'm glad someone said it. They dont taste even close and cholula is superior in every way. I judge a taco shop if they only have tapatio on hand.

I dunno if I'd say 'vastly', but I agree w/you I like tapatio more than chula as well but I wouldn't say no to it or anything.

Look I only started buying Tapatio because I was broke and couldn't afford the wooden top, and I like it better than Valentina. Now it seems like I have to take the Pepsi challenge with Tapatio and Cholula and figure out for myself if they're the same.

Sorry thread

i used to have a drawer full of cholula tops. not sure why i was keeping them, perhaps as a way to document my "Sauce-venture" into "Flavor Country." lost them, now I wander as a man without a past.

Dirty Dick's Tropical Twist is the best hot sauce I've ever had.



Good mix of heat and flavor. It's got pineapple and other sweet things in it. Good for all kinds of things. If you like Secret Aardvark Habanero you'll love Dirty Dick's.

For Mexican food, I like the Hot Ones Los Calientes green sauce. It adds a TON of flavor. For eggs, I like Tabasco Chipotle.

That’s what is beautiful about the world of hot sauces. There is a flavor out there for everyone!

It looks like I need to try out secret aardvarks. We have it here in a lot of stores but I’ve never bothered with it.

If you put a gun to my head and told me that my life depended on tasting the difference between Valentina Black and Tapatio, I would have a 50% chance.

Valentina is good to pour on popcorn with a lime squeezed on top.

Based on this thread's recommendation I bought that Aardvark Habanero sauce but honestly it's a little too much for me. I need to dilute it in some mayo or something to lower the potency before I can put it on any chicken tenders or a burger

They're close but I think you could.

Valentina Black owns for that variety of sub $1 bottle of mexicany hot sauces. El Yucateco is good but slightly different. I would say Valentina Black ~ El Yucateco > Tapatio > Cholula

This has been one of my go to sauces for a few years now. For me it has the perfect balance of sweet and heat.

Recently I've been going through a lot of mendez hot sauce. It's got a nice creamy pepper flavor that goes great with eggs.

goes great with eggs is the gaming equivalent of "well the game is fun with friends!!" as a defense.

it's extremely meaningless because every single hot sauce goes great with eggs, with maybe the exception of something like yuzu. that's like, the defacto feature of eggs

Told the misses to pick me up some habanero secret aardvark but the store was out so she grabbed the drunken garlic black bean instead. It's pretty dank and will go nice in asiany dishes. Not very spicy at all tho

Fun fact about Marie Sharp: the hot sauce brand Melinda's was all her recipes, but she got swindled by the US distributor and makes no money from it.

Buy Marie Sharp's, gently caress Melinda's.

A good hot-sauce dilution medium is honey.

You can toy with adding a bit of water and/or your favorite vinegar as well if you want to help with consistency. However, if you've got a great hot sauce and some honey whisked together you've got yourself an excellent finishing sauce to baste on some chicken on the grill a minute or two before you take it off (any longer and you can scorch the sugars in the honey, time it right and you'll get that sticky icky). Adding (softened) butter or olive oil to this mix while whisking will also aid in your saucing.

if youre gonna rec olive oil or butter you might as well chemically accept mayonnaise into this equation like he said
