If I lived my life in constant terror that I might look uncool because idiots might like the same thing as me I'd never be able to enjoy anything at all.

e: and it's not just Sriracha that people get weird about.

Bufalo salsa chipotle is fantastic for just about anything.

I try to keep a bunch of different kinds around too, but my neck of soCal is surprisingly barren of variety in the hot sauce aisle, and far too many of the minor brands around here are vague jalapeno-based fluids that are often bitter, devoid of character, and genuinely do suck.

You speak the truth man. All hot sauces can be good in the right context. Some dishes are good with a vinegar based sauce, some are good with a drop of the high heat stuff, some are made magnificent with a only slightly hot green sauce. All hot sauces matter.

I got this stuff as a gift a year or so ago and now I've abused it to such excess that I'm desensitized. I made a spaghetti sauce with a drop in it the other day and my girlfriend had to sit on our patio until I aired the kitchen out.



This stuff is very good without being too over the top, but most people tell me its too spicy to enjoy



As far as not spicy sauces go this is my favorite and I really applaud McIlhenny for not loving one of the non-original flavors up

Melinda's Naga Jolokia is the best hot sauce (though ridiculously expensive to buy through the internet, and not easy to find otherwise.)



I went to a store of many hot sauces that had a tasting, and of their selection of hot sauces for jerks who like their hot sauce hot, this was the tastiest. Not the hottest, but flavorful.

Edit: ghost pepper high five with the poster above.

Melinda's is one of my favorites. Their XXX and XXXX sauces are amazing, and the Naga Jolokia and Ghost Pepper ones are really drat good too.

Strangely enough, my go-to source for Melinda's is TJ Maxx. They have a small fancy-foods section and they frequently have different varieties of Melinda's for like $2.99 a bottle :woop:

ASK:lol: ME:lol: ABOUT:lol: MY :lol:TINY :lol:DICK

also my opinion on :females:
:haw::flaccid: :haw: :flaccid: :haw: :flaccid::haw:
All the bases a hot food aficianado needs to cover:

-Louisiana hot sauce. Any variety will do as this is more of a class of hot sauces. It's basically just cayenne pepper in vinegar. It's the ketchup of the hot sauce world, and sometimes it's the right tool for the job. Great to slather on burritos, chili, actual Cajun food.

-Tobasco. Hotter than Louisiana and with a distinct, smoky flavor that not everyone appreciates. Best on pizza and eggs.

-One or more Mexican hot sauces. Often with thicker salsa/gravy consistency. Great on Mexican-type things, and usually anything. There are many internet wars between Tapatio, Cholula, and Valentino's. Most people tend to agree Tapatio has a sweet flavor that alters food profiles so it's for specific applications. Cholula is a generic great with chips salsa. Valentino's comes in great vats and some fat rear end in a top hat at work probably keeps a gallon jug of it in the fridge so he/she can have bad farts. Not that Valentino's is bad, but a lot of bad people prefer it. Just sayin'.

-Frank's Red Hot. The original wing sauce, and still the best for wings'n'things. I also loving love it on pierogies.

-Something manga habanero. There's a zillion of these, you can pick up a hot sauce sampler pack from Wal Mart and it will probably have one of these and it will still be good. Great on your goddamn finger. I don't pick these up often because they're addictive as all hell.

-Chili paste. Sriracha is just the most popular brand here. Any Chinese or Thai (or Mediterranean, or...) chili paste will do. It's basically whole red peppers in suspension, usually with some garlic and other spices to round things out. Once you have any of these, you're a step close to preparing dozens of cuisines from Mexican to Chinese to Thai to Turkish to goddamn just cook with this stuff already. They tend to look like this example also made by the Sriracha company:



On heat hounds:

gently caress heat hounds. People obsess over "the hottest hot sauce" way too goddamn much. So many of these assholes will say they had raw capsaicin crystals and didn't feel anything so they have to wash their face in ghost peppers or spray bear mace directly onto their rear end in a top hat to get their dick hard. The level of idiocy is palpable. Nobody cares. Hot food is a case where all that matters is using the right tool for the job. Sometimes that's a dash of cayenne pepper, sometimes it's pan-blackened thai chiles, sometimes it's Tobasco.

edit: Honorable mention to Tobasco's assorted flavors, Chipotle flavor isn't very hot but it's goddamn good. Only left out because of the insane white woman craze from a few years ago when they wanted "CHI-POLE-TAY" on goddamn everything... "so long as it's not spicy, it's not spicy is it?"

For a good flavorful sauce that still has a pretty respectable punch, I really like Heartbreaking Dawns' 1498 sauce. It's made from Trinidad scorpion so its got hella heat but it balances with the fruit flavor (think mainly apricot). It even works on ice cream.

I like hot sauces for the pepper/spicyness and vinegar, or the garlic in sriracha, etc., to compliment or enhance whatever I'm eating. What's the drat point of having something so hot you can't taste anything else anyway?

I got my husband into hot sauce and he really likes frank's red hot wing sauce and, lol, he puts that poo poo on everything. Burgers, hot dogs, pasta, fries... I like most of the cheaper ones like louisiana crystal, texas pete, sriracha, tabasco, etc. and they do what I need them to. :) Hot sauce on eggs is great. I like sriracha for that specifically.

My dad has made plenty of his own hot sauce and it's nice but much hotter. I like seasoning food! It's good~

Idk, never been much of a fan of daves insanity. I feel like you can taste the fact that it's made from capsaicin extract.... so there's like a separate chemical heat that doesn't really blend with the rest of the flavor. It works really well for adding to food to heat it up though. Not to diss anybody who likes it or any other sauces though.

I completely agree, it goes good with just about everything I've tried it on though. Shame they don't make a version with a bit more kick.

While we are on this subject does anyone here do hot sauce on popcorn? If not, I'd definitely recommend it!

McIlhenny Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce is one of my favorites based on flavor, as far as super spicy hot sauces I like the habanero based ones because i'm not a huge fan of the taste of scorpion peppers, though it's hard to find ones that are really that hot.
