Hot sauce recommendations

Try the halal cart by me next time you get to nyc. 15min in the can is just Round 1…

Just when you think you’re safe… rumblerumblerumble… nope, not yet.

And I ain’t the only one. Some other folx have the same reaction. :smiley:

When I go to my usual chinese-food place, even though they know me, I still ask for stuff “chinese spicy, not american spicy”. They usually dumb it down for the anglos. When I snicker and say, “I’ve been very bad… make me hurt”, they usually do. :smiley:

I like the concept of that beef’n’cheese burrito. Just t’other day I had LD50 of White Castle bellybombs. They’ll crater your innards but good. No spice, just… grease? Kaboom…

They have ghost-pepper cheese as an option. I didn’t want to wait for a “special order”, as they were preparing in advance, so I figured “regular” cheese would already be on-tap.

I still wanna try that, though. No idea just how spicy they’d make it for muggles.

Well I put some a small amount of Green Dragon hot sauce on some Cheddarwurst smoked sausages.

It tasted quite good, but the sausages by themselves taste good.

Then I put a generous amount of hot sauce on some bland-tasting taquitos.

Delicious!

It's official.

I'm hooked on hot sauce.

I think I'll get some red hot sauce to mix things up.

Hahaha hahaha
J-Dub7, sorry for not responding sooner
Funny!

No it is freaky, after the last winter a pepper plant grew back, I cut it at ground level when harvesting , it was in a pot with 6 others and I had the pot inside to get camomile going that had spread its seed in it.
It has been growing but no flowers or fruit. No pepper

I did got a few peppers from my neighbors , grown from seed of a pepper of his place of birth, the island or Reunion
They are hot
I cut them and put them in balsamic vinegar to see what happens.
Because of this topic just tasted, not really hot
So I dunked it all in a glass container, added a fee dried out peppers and hand blended it down.

Hmm it is hot, but also very sweet and acidic because of the balsamic vinegar.
Gonna wait a few days and see what to fo with it to get a nice hot sauce.
It has potential for sure

I don’t know if it’s something I would recommend, but it is as hot as I will go. There are tasty sauces that have already been recommended, but I can’t say I can actually taste or feel after adding this to my food. It’s more of a guest who comes to dinner and asks, “do you have any hot sauce?”, and you answer, I might have something. :smiling_imp:

Yeah, I wouldn't use this Green Dragon on sausages. I typically use spicy mustard, if anything.

Yes, the nice thing about this sauce is that it's not overly hot, so you can just increase quantity to give your food more of a kick, if desired.

I spent a few months driving around Central America a few years ago. We found a few stand outs during this time.

Marie Sharps from Belize is killer! It’s got a great flavor (Carrot!) and plenty of heat to go with it. Just read the reviews: ” https://www.amazon.com/Marie-Sharps-Belizean-Habanero-Pepper/dp/B000FH24RU?th=“: https://www.amazon.com/Marie-Sharps-Belizean-Habanero-Pepper/dp/B000FH24RU?th=1

We also found out about chile cobanero from the northern part of Guatemala. I haven’t been able to get my hands on it since getting back to the states, but it has a wonderful smoky flavor to it. We did a great Potato bacon soup with some of it in it. https://www.thespruce.com/all-about-cobanero-chili-pepper-3111641. If anyone can get their hands on this please tell me!

Oh ya, Scotch Bonnet peppers. The main ingredient of my all-time favorite hot sauce - Matouk’s West Indian Hot Sauce.

Available many places online, but much cheaper ($3.99) at a local Asian market of all places.

I bought a bottle of this today, and tried it by itself, and with taquitos.

I don't like the flavor.

I'll stick to Green Dragon hot sauce.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just picked up a bottle of this. Very nice and the smokiness makes it quite unique.

After going to a Mexican dinner and trying some Tapatío hot sauce, I bought some for home.

The flavor is good, and it's pretty hot.

Overall I like it.

Bump,
anything new in the field of hot sauces?

I stand by my favorite, Pucker Butt Pepper Company Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce or the more concentrated Reaper Squeezin’s

Just to show I’m not just grabbing pics off the internet, my bottle of Reaper sauce… I’ve been eating Habanero’s for 25 years, this stuff is different! It’s slow going, you just have to be careful and measure out drops at a time (ok, so I get carried away and pay the price, but still)

DB, where did you get yours? I’m stationed overseas, but my folks live in Houston.

Ordered it online from Pucker Butt Pepper Company

Seeds too, I’ve got blooms coming out on my plant. :smiley:

I love the Chipotle variety as mentioned earlier…

I love me some Cholula on mexican food. :heart_eyes:
I really like hot stuff, right to the point where you get a little red faced and your eyes begin to blur with water in your eyes type stuff.
My father-in-law gave this to me for Christmas several years ago.

.
Holy Moly! This stuff is extremely HOT! :zipper_mouth_face: I add about 5 drops to a full bottle of Cholula to bring the heat up, good stuff.
I can take a tooth pick and get one drop out and put in a big bowl of chili, and Oh man will it clean your sinuses out. I have tried 2 drops to a big bowl but that makes my eyes water to much, a little to much heat. Just using a drop here and there this stuff will last me forever.
If you like hot stuff just add a few drops of this to your favorite sauce, it will make grown men cry. :smiley:
Do be careful!!!

We (at work) used to get that from an eatery when they’d leave the bottles unattended. :smiling_imp:

Good stuff, but I could chug that straight from the bottle. Nice and tasty, but not terribly “hot”.

This is the kinda stuff you’d spike your lunch with if someone at work kept swiping it.

Guessing there ain’t much flavor to it, just the heat. Kinda the hot-pepper version of Everclear…

Looks like a small bottle (1.whatever oz), but should last forever, as long as it doesn’t burn its way through the glass.
