Thread: Hot Sauces

I've tried a bunch of hot sauces over the years. My favorite is a garlic hot sauce from 'Pain is Good': http://www.painisgood.com/pains.asp?sizzle=48

It's not as hot as the ads suggest and it has great flavor. A perfect addition for most pizzas.

Cheers,
Ed

I'm sort a hot sauce junky but the sauce I enjoy best is Frank's hot sauce.

A coworker gave me half a bottle of the pain is good garlic hot sauce, and I went through it much too quickly, that is a very tasty hot sauce!

I have one or two (or twenty) bottles, use them all. I grow my own peppers, make my own Habanero, Scottish bonnets, etc….

The Pure Habanero is good and one of my favorites; they also have a cyan and jalapeño that is equally good. Magma has to be an interesting one, clear with the pepper extract floating around like a lava lamp, Hula Girl is a super good Chipotle Habanero sauce, I have a few of Blair’s reserve, a 2am and 4am? as well as the usual collection of death sauce. Nothing says love like 2,000,000 scoville units (a jalapeno is something like 3,000). Dave’s insanity has a few good ones, I have once called mustard gas (mustard based flame sauce), one of the more interesting ones is satins blood, food additive only hot sauce.

I'm a fan of the Tabasco brand Habenero sauce. It's hot, but it has a complex flavor and a sweetness that goes great on most things.

Hot sauces in general...I love em. Mmmmmmmm good stuff!

I never met a habanero sauce I didn't like. Check out the ink on my right arm. It is my design:

I'm not a fan of tattoos, but if I had to have one, that would be the one

Awesome design and nicely executed, too. Interesting twist on the taichi (yin yang) and barbed wire.

As for hot sauces, I love 'em and use Tabasco far too much. Interestingly (or not) jalapenos make me sick at my stomach (literally) but not from the heat - just something in those buggers doesn't agree with me if I eat more than one. Strange intolerance. Not the same with other peppers.

BTW the world champion Jalapeno Speed Eater is from my town of Arlington, Tx. He's a rock star.

Toss some on your popcorn. Pop a batch of popcorn, toss some hot sauce on it, a sprinkle of garlic powder and some grated parmesan cheese and shake it up. I have been known to pop popcorn in pepper oil, I even made some habanero popcorn balls once, and they were actually pretty good.

I love the hot stuff. One of my ex-coworkers makes his own sauce. His wing sauce was outstanding, his regular hot sauce was the hottest thing I have ever had. He was trying to come up with a name for it. We just ended up calling it "Stupid".
