Hot sauce recommendations

Not a sauce and really not in to hot myself…but tI ry to incorporate a few of these chips as often as I remember in to my diet to boost metabolism (if this itself isn’t an old wive’s tale):
Often $2 on clearance (date is always good) and makes a tasty base for pickling other items after the chips are gone: Robot or human?

Neighbor also loves them gifted for his famous bloody marys…

There is no Buffalo wings without Franks .

I buy the spears...

This thread is gold, thanks for sharing all the bits on sauces.

Because I put hot sauce on so much of my food, my sister bought me...

Jack Link's Valentine's Day Hot Sauce Set!

(She got it the day after Valentine's Day for half off.)

So now I have a bunch of new hot sauce to try!

I’ve always appreciated a savory heat sauce . I’m close to the Smoky mountains, amd in Gatlinburg TN there is a store called Pepper Palace that specializes in hot sauce. My Dad collects full bottles (WTH, Dad?).

My go-to is a proprietary sauce from a restaurant called The Egg and I. Their house sauce can be bought for $7ish dollars. The ingredients are roasted red jalapenos and vinegar. That’s all! It is delicious on everything except Cheerios.

As a similar function, I add Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning to most foods, too. It is added in proportion to salt and pepper.

Once upon a time, on a day trip to Gatlinburg, my Dad ecouraged me to man-up and try the sauce marked XXX under a glass cover at Pepper Palace. It burned for over 3 hours and burned my then-GF’s lips when I kissed her a couple hours later. Dunno what brand that insane sauce was, but I learned that my Dad enjoys my misery a little lol.

I looked for XXX on the Pepper Palace website, and came up with nothing, so it’s not a brand name. Probably just one of their hottest sauces under a generic “mystery” label. Pepper Palace is where I got my The End hot sauce, that can certainly do what you described and maybe worse, depending how much you stick in your mouth. I mix a couple drops in with a 5oz bottle of Cholula and use that on everything. It’s plenty hot for me that way, and Cholula has a nice pepper flavor which is also enhanced a little by those drops of The End added to it.

Unno, have you ever tried it on Cheerios? Hm?

You don’t know what you’re missing…

I tried the Cayenne hot sauce, and the flavor didn't impress me.

I do like the little bottles.

I'll try a different one next time.

Well, I wasn’t going to say anything. But since you said it first - I’ve found that those gift set hot sauces are usually very watered down in flavor. They literally taste to me like somebody diluted them with plain water. But… it’s the thought that counts, right? :stuck_out_tongue:

That's a thoughtful gift .

maybe she's trying to kill you slowly :P

I have tried all five flavors once.

I kinda liked the Garlic, and Jalapeño.

I think the problem is that I don't generally like vinegar-based hot sauce.

Reaper bump!

Was gifted a bottle of this and I’m floored!

I’ve always like a lot of spicy/ethnic foods, but have never been into hot sauces beyond Frank’s, Tabasco variants, and Pickapeppa at home. Feels like I just discovered a whole new frontier. :slight_smile: :+1:

Hmm, t’other day I spotted a coupla old bottles of Cholupa over in a corner… now I’m getting itchy to grab ’em and use ’em finally.

Should go nicely on eggs, in beans, etc. Got a small pile of real jalapenos when I went shopping at long last, so might mix’n’match.

^That’s the spirit!

My wife needed to use up a bunch of jalapenos due to a Kroger Clicklist order mix-up and pickled them for me yesterday.

Any kind of hot peppers are awesome with eggs.

If you mince them finely and fry ’em up, it takes out a lot of the raw heat but leaves a nice warm glow. Tasty. not just hot.

Speaking of something that goes good with eggs, anyone like to eat ramps in their scrambled eggs.
Its a short month or so treat here in the mountains. To me the best way to describe it is if a onion and a garlic had a offspring it be a ramp.
Doesn’t have much heat but very tasty when used in spaghetti, eggs, chili and hamburgers.
And once you eat them, everyone who doesnt eat them will pick up on the strong ramp breath for a day or two.

Had to goggle them, but yeah, pretty much exactly as you described, including their pungency. :laughing:

Whenever I make an onion omelette, it’s not eggs with some onions, but onions with egg as a binder.
