    The Hot Sauce Thread...

    All of these years, and I don't see a hot sauce thread!
    Anyhoo, I thought I had a 'decent' tolerance for heat (not into Dav'e Insanity type sauces, just flavorful stuff),
    Tried an El Yucateca XXXtra hot sauce that seemed WAY hotter than when I tried it previously. Has anyone experienced the same brand/flavor varying in heat a ton?
    What's your favorite, and for what?
    (I know, pretty generic, but hey, gotta start somewhere!)

    Secret Aardvark ftw. Consistently hot and flavorful.

    That's not the only one by a long shot:

    Scorned Woman is some pretty good shit. Hot & really flavorful, but a solid step below regular Dave's (Dave's Ghost Pepper is even hotter, imo).

    Well as long as we have a new thread--I'm partial to sauces that aren't too heavy on the vinegar--Pico Pica is one. It's hot by supermarket standards, not by hot sauce afficianado standards, but it's hot enough for me. I use hot sauce to augment whatever I'm putting it on, not to dominate it.

    This. I put hot sauce on most things but I cannot stand any of the super hot, stupid named stuff.

    This stuff is my favorite for continental food.


    This stuff is good for Mexican.


    If your not using the classic sambal on your Asian food, your doing it wrong.

    Sambal Oelek is tasty for a mild-ish sauce. It could be hotter though.
    I see hydraulic turtles.

    I have a serious Huey Fong Sriracha problem. Put it on almost everything. Not terribly hot, though.

    Yellowbird habenaro sauce is tasty, and has some kick.

    My favorite hot sauce, or perhaps you'd call it a salsa is the Dona sauce at Taco Deli. Don't know if you can get that outside Austin, though.

    Taco Deli ROCKS. Used to love that place after riding the Greenbelt back-trails...

    I'm growing some ghost peppers, that I am going to turn into a sauce.

    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    It's pretty pedestrian by the aficionado's standards but I freaking love Cholula.

    Try Valentina's black label, so much better than Tapatio or Cholula. I think it's the same as Tamazula, the label is identical other than the name and it's the same manufacturer. I like Frank's Xtra Red Hot for cayenne style sauces, more pepper less vinegar. I don't like really hot. It's not that I can't handle it, it masks the flavor and isn't that enjoyable.
