Hot Sauce

[Die Rote Fahne]

Who loves it, and what's the hottest you've ever had?

I had a bottle of "ass-reaper"...it was brutal. Currently enjoying Green Habanero w/ Prickly Pear sauce on pizza.

[Rusty Shackleford]

Ketchup.

[¿Que?]

Tabasco, Frank's Red Hot, and that one with the little wooden bottle cap, I can't recall the name, I think it's from Mexico, tho.

EDIT: Oops, I thought we were talking about commercial brands, not the peppers. Hm...no idea then.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

Ketchup.

Truly shows your Wisconsin roots. Everyone from Northern Iowa and above first asks before eating "is it hot?" or thinks mild BBQ is "hot" :lol:
Bring da heat!http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CKAhi7jhL._SS500_.jpg
^ This is really good. It's quite hot (although not overbearing), and has a great taste to it. I like to cook veggies in it, but honestly, just dabbing a little onto a salad is good too! No joke, I was surprised.

I'll keep my eyes out for this, but I'm scared that it will be hot for the sake of hotness, without concentrating on flavor. Correct me if I'm wrong (this is just the impression I've been given with plenty of American hot sauces, hence why I prefer Thai).

My friend recently made his own batch of hot-sauce. It was pretty good!

it's all about pepper sauces.

I've got that, its called Cholula's.

I put Cholula's and Frank's Red Hot sauce on everything pretty much. If I'm cooking I probably put a bit of Dave's Insanity Sauce in. Got loads of other hot sauces too, a nice collection, I'll post a pic later.

you know, at first that was just a joke. you know, sarcasm and all. but seriously. that shit is true.

maybe thats where i got the taste for "bare" flavors. shit that doesnt taste too sweet, bitter, sour, or hot. even too salty tastes bad.

although, i have to admit, i do use valentina sauce occasionally if something is too bland. like beans and rice :blushing:

[praxis1966]

What I'm doing with it generally determines which hot sauce I'll use. For most shit, I generally prefer El Yucateca XXXtra Hot as a standby. However, I haven't gotten my shit together to make it to the Latin market lately so I've been using either El Yucateca Verde (which isn't quite as hot as the Rojo but tastes better IMO) and a couple of knockoff versions of it (El Pato and Castillo mainly). Back in FL, I used to use various flavors which were branded "Pepper Man"... But that was some local shit you could only get at farmer's markets and stuff. The guy who made it (in his kitchen) passed away a couple of years ago and I have to say I miss the hell out of that stuff.

For cooking my first choice is Dave's Insanity... it's amazing how like half a teaspoon of that shit will heat up an entire pot of chili.

For Asian food I keep a bottle of Sriracha in the fridge. For whatever reason, it just seems to me like there's something basically wrong with using Mexican hot sauce on stir fry or egg rolls, lol.

As for the hottest shit I've ever had, well, Dave's Insanity has to be up there. Blair's are some of my favorite "super hots" as well; particularly the After Death (for flavor) and Sudden Death (for pure heat). There was also this salsa my folks got me at a specialty store when the went out of town once that was absolutely terrific. I'm pretty sure it was made in Texas and I remember it had a drawing of somebody running into an outhouse on the label. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

[The Douche]

Siracha on pizza, or mixed with ketchup for chicken nuggets. Texas pete when I'm cooking usually.


It scares me to think that there are people in the world who are so boringly white-bread and sterile that they would view ketchup as their "hot sauce".

[Quail]

I don't like hot sauce really (a dash of cayenne is good enough for most of my cooking), but I remember having some Insanity Sauce in the cupboard at my parents' house. My brother and his friends always used to use it for ridiculous macho posturing ("I can eat this much", "I dare you to eat this much sauce", etc.) which was kind of funny. I honestly have no idea how being able to burn your mouth out and look like a fucking idiot somehow makes you a cooler person.

[kitsune]

I like to use nam prik pao and gochujang and jaew bong. I like heat, but not overpowering. It has to be balanced with other flavors, especially sweetness.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I hope I didn't come off as cruel, I was joking too, but in a serious manner :) Just an observation I've noticed the further north you go.

You guys realize hot sauce is just peppers and a ton of salt, right?

Hot sauce and me are inseparable. It all started out when my mom used to make me drink some hot sauce if I cussed. Then she realized after a while that I started to like it so she started washing my mouth out with soap :(.

But I will put hot sauce on just about everything from pieces of bread to fish. The hottest stuff I ever had was some homemade Habanero hot sauce on my tacos. Freakin' delicious.

[Johnny Kerosene]

I had some shit that this one kid brought to school once, it tasted something like what I imagine gasoline would taste like, and made my tongue numb. A friend of mine was dipping fries in it later, he only ate like three, and then he said he threw up when he got home.
I also drink Texas Pete on occasion, and I'm up for trying anything spicy, although I don't handle it very well I love spicy food.

Off Topic Edit: Did you know you can buy used bottles of Texas Pete on Ebay for more than a new bottle costs at the store?

Eww. I once filled a whole bowl of cereal up with hot sauce and ate it because my cousin dared me. Don't know what it was but it really burned my lips because I had a busted lip. I ended up crying afterwords and eating a ton of ketchup to try and take the pain away(A trick I learned from Dumb and Dumber). I used to have rampant diarrhea because of my hot sauce eating habits but my bodies gotten so used to it, it doesn't even affect me anymore.

Depends on the sauce.

This post just boggles my mind in so many ways.

Aight, just making sure.

Yeah but LOTS AND LOTS OF SODIUM.
I don't exactly eat it for health reasons.

Me either. I just rationalize my predilection for it that way. "Hey, look, it might boost my immune system!" It's how I make myself feel better about all the sodium.

There are all kinds of funny and stupid Hot Sauce names.

I've actually had that Ass Whoopin' Redneck sauce before. It was shit.

[gorillafuck]

My brother and his friends always used to use it for ridiculous macho posturing ("I can eat this much", "I dare you to eat this much sauce", etc.) which was kind of funny.alright, that's what you think macho posturing is?:lol:

Macho posturing is showing off and exaggerating physical fitness, not eating too hot hot sauce for fun. lol. by that logic any dare at all would be macho posturing.:lol:

anywho I once had the special sauce at a wings place that used to be around where I am. It was the only hot sauce that ever beat me. It was so hot they didn't place it on the menu, it was nuts. It made my eyes tear up.

[Bright Banana Beard]

I always wanted to open up a vegetarian/vegan restaurant just so I could call it The Awful Falafel.

Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce straight out of the can with a fork. That is how I roll.
