I don't recognize the picture (has been so long) but I do recognize the language and the shape of the jar. I owe you one, I will investigate from this point on. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Is this forum great of what?

Mejnoon, if you want more heat than Tapatio (I was actually sponsored ina chili cookoff by the Tapatio folks. I had several great conversations with Jaqui Saavedra, daughter of the owner) any of the habanero sauces will give you much heat and lots of wonderful flavor. If you like a smoky taste try something made from chipotles. Check out this catalog of hot stuff at Mo Hotta Mo Betta: The Ultimate Hot Sauce location provides thousands of Hot Sauce Brands - Mohotta Mobetta, The World Headquarters of Hot Sauce

Or you can see what my buddy Paul McIlhenny has to offer down in Louisianna: TABASCO® Pepperfest - the hot, legendary pepper sauce!

Thanks I got a bottle of "Yucateco" habanero sauce and its just what I was looking for...just about the right amount of hot, and very tasty.

I was at the thai place tonight and they had a thai chii powder that was great!!!! anyone tryed it and any ideas where to buy it. This stuff was so good I would eat it on corn flakes

Thai chili powder: Any Oriential / East Asian grocery store will have it. I live in a town of half a million and there are several locations to buy it locally

My favorite hot sauce is Miss Anna's Hot Pepper Sauce form St. Croix, U.S.V.I. It has the perfect combination of flavor and heat, both gigantic. My only reservation is that I don't enjoy it on sweet ham. It is awsome on everything else. My second favorite is Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce. I have not found anything yet on which it does not go well.

+ 1 on the Yucateco
+ 1 on the Dave's Total Insanity (haven't tried the Ultimate Insanity, 90k scovilles?? yikes!)

Brother Bru's and Wizards are both good ones.

Have you seen Blair's? I've tried their 1.5 million (2am Hot Sauce) in a large pot of chili. You could for sure sense the heat, but it wasn't deadly. Here's a good review of Blair's 16 million (pure capsicum).

I used to have this habanero sauce that was hand made by monks in Belize. It was some wicked wicked stuff. Just sniffing it would burn your lungs. A little drop though would give some great flavor to anything. Apparently they quit making it though. I suspect it had something to do with the prep- they had to do it all outside with chem suits on

It doesn't make much sense to me the people that eat things because they're hot- I like flavor. As long as it adds something to the food, I'm pretty much up for it.

My favourite hot sauce, made by the most famous Swedish chef of all time:
