Hot sauce recommendations

Like it’d last that long…

“Fire” is no longer the hottest. They’ve added “Diablo” now. When I get a burrito from there, I usually add one “Fire” and two “Diablo” for flavor. Still not hot, though. :person_facepalming:

Yeah, they don’t wanna get sued if someone burns his face off or something.

Like “hot” coffee…

Yeah, I still think that McDonald’s suit was a travesty of justice.

It’s a tapestry, I tell you. A tapestry!

We go through Fire sauce pretty fast. Love it on chicken tacos. Ortega makes a “hot” taco sauce that is flavorful, but has very little heat.

The Diablo sauce has an odd, chemical taste to us, so we dont usually buy that one.

The Diablo is a fair bit warmer than the Fire, but I agree not the best taste. I eat more spicy things than anybody that I know personally, and at most i’d give it a 2/10 on a heat scale, probably more like a 1 actually. That’s pushing it. It’s nothing that’s going to burn your mouth.

The two sauces that I really have been meaning to get are Thor’s Hammer and Exhorresco. These are probably two of the hottest sauces out there that are not using extract. I use my extract sauces every day, but they’re always mixed in with something because it’s just pure heat and no flavor.

Not a sauce, but if you like spicy, Paqui’s Ghost Pepper chips are actually pretty hot. I’ve never had their one chip challenge with the Carolina Reaper. But this is a legitimately spicy chip. I’ve got them a couple times from the local gas station, usually around $2 for a smallish bag. Hotter than Diablo sauce and I’d say a solid 2/10 heat wise.

I’ve also gotten the puree pepper squeeze tubes at Aldi’s a few times. I don’t remember getting a ghost pepper one. But I’ve certainly gotten the jalapeño, habanero, and carolina reaper. The jalapeño has the best flavor. I use it the most but very little heat. Still way less flavor than fresh pods. The habanero is ok, just not much flavor to me. Heat wise it’s maybe a 1.5/10. The Carolina Reaper paste was actually the first time I tasted the reapers. I wasn’t really impressed with the taste. It’s kinda bitter and was way way less hot than I was expecting. I’d say 3/10 heat wise is generous.

Those’re the ones in the black bag? Think I had those once upon a time… really good! Hard to find here, though.

That would be them. They’re not overpowering hot, but hot enough to have several and not eat the whole bag in one sitting. It’s not a large bag.

I had a friend bring me a bottle one time and I had to throw it out. 1 teaspoon ruined a pot of chili I made. I remember it was in the top 10 hottest and it had a warning tag on it. You could literally dip a toothpick in it and lay it on your tongue and it would make your eye’s water in 20 seconds. I will try and find it again even though I do not suggest it to anyone. Sometimes “HOT” sauce is taken too far. My stomach cant handle spices much anymore.

Green Tabasco

Good flavor with a milder heat.

Umm, no, I et the whole bag. :smiling_imp:

My gf got me a bottle of Ass-Burner Surprise or something similarly named. Yeah, looked a rather harmless green, put a small dot on my index finger (sesame-seed sized, if that) and touched it to my tongue. Was as if someone took a hole-puncher and put a few holes through my tongue.

Shouldda never put my tongue back into my mouth, because that was when the contagion spread. Felt as if I just gulped a nice big bowl of molten lava.

Ohhh, the pain! The pain!

I’m not to much on super hot sauces, but I was visiting a buddy down in New Iberia, LA this past weekend & tried these. I must say they were unusually good.

Bunsters

  • The ‘Hot Sauce’ was great.
  • The ‘STB’ was good to, but it was the ‘hot’ limit for me.
  • I tried a tiny bit of ‘STB Black Label’. :open_mouth: …. it was too hot for me. :person_facepalming:

Wow I’m gonna have to try those—— Just what I always wanted to do S T B

I’d rather wait ’til I’d be in my 90s and incoherent, but hey, have at it.

I “think” ’maybe if you buy off Amazon you have the choice to bundle it with your choice of adult diaper in either white or blue.

Who knows, there might even be a Vipon coupon…. I’ll have to look! :smiley: . :wink:

Might be a good idea to get some of this too if you go with the ’Bunsters STB Black Label’. You’ll probably need it…… :wink:

Has anyone tried Mrs Renfros ghost pepper salsa?I use it as taco sauce and on my eggs at breakfast.It has a lot of heat with a great flavor.

I love the way it’s Hypoallergenic——after eating STB does it really matter—-might need ice cream instead
