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.

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

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

Delicious! [/quote]

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!

have u guys tried Scotch Bonnet peppers?

it has a heat rating of 100,000–350,000 Scoville units.

i usually just chop some up and put it in my food. i soak the left over in olive oil for later.

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.

Huy Fong also makes my favorite soup spicer-upper Sambal Oelek.

Add some of this to cheap store bought Ramen and you’ll think that 25 cent meal is liquid gold!

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.

To kick the smokiness and heat up a bit, the El Yucateco Black sauce is also very good:

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?

DB_Custom · 2018-03-25T21:18:40.000Z

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

DB_Custom · 2018-03-25T21:42:23.000Z

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)

keithd · 2018-03-25T22:15:10.000Z

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

DB_Custom · 2018-03-25T22:25:58.000Z

Ordered it online from Pucker Butt Pepper Company

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

I love the Chipotle variety as mentioned earlier…

I’m not a fan of crazy hot sauces, but for flavor: I like the Chipotle Cholula a lot, mild heat, but good smoky flavor: [image] To kick the smokiness and heat up a bit, the El Yucateco Black sauce is also very good: [image] This is getting up into the big boys of hot sauces, but the Mad Dog 357 Reaper Sriracha is tasty, but high heat: [image]

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.
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.

i have about 20, and this is one i go through the fastest

puglife2 · 2018-03-26T06:18:32.000Z

I like this one

keithd · 2018-03-26T06:18:40.000Z

I put this stuff on nearly everything. If you complain that regular Tabasco has little flavor, Chipotle Tabasco has a nice smoky flavor. Excellent on pizza.

I never much liked the vinegar-y quality of tabasco, though.

’Though one exception was Tappett’s Looziana Red Devil Hot Sauce, which I used to like on certain kinds of chinese food.

Was a bit… “tangy”… but still had a nice flavor otherwise.

Imagine the chipotle would give any sauce a nice sweet-smoky flavor, so would probably cut the tang somewhat.
