Thread: Hot Sauces

Nice collection Brad....I enjoy hot stuff, but I agree with you. The insanely hot ones remind me of getting maced....almost a chemical sulfuric taste to them.

My daily use hot sauce is either good old Frank's Red Hot, or Tabasco regular or jalapeno.

These taste pretty good. There was a sauce called Boar's Breath which was a red jalapeno sauce, but alas, it is no more...

the hogs breath saloon in key west makes a great little sauce.

Any man who cooks Barbecue like ol' Doc Trinidad can is worth listening to when it comes to gustatory enlightenment. Ask anyone who was in Asheville on the last day of the meet!

I can vouch for that
I'm getting hungry just thinking about it

I've normally only got about 4-7 sauces in the cupboard I seem to be going through a west Indian phase just now -- I get most of my sauces from here >

Both make excellent chicken wings. She also makes special sauces for events on the island, like the cricket championships held here yearly. If you like more of a Jamaican taste, then this stuff is pretty good, and can be ordered online.

I'll need to get some of this .. my stockist only seems to do her Original .. but it's ticks all the right box's for me

brilliant ...

A great little shop opened near my home. It is called The Angry Pepper. Here's a link to the website: Home and I have found myself a new friend in the owner, Liam. I have been acting as a bit of a research consultant for him. At the time of this writing they don't do any online business but if you find yourself in Connecticut and yearning for burning, you should make your way to Monroe and stop in to The Angry Pepper. Tell him Brad sent ya.

I've recently had the extreme pleasure of tasting Sweet Spirit BBQ sauce. It's made here in Oklahoma by a church group that uses it to raise money for their church. I have the Medium sauce, and it can definitely make you reach for your ice tea if you get too much. The flavor is incredible! I have yet to taste a better, more flavorful BBQ sauce. It's so good, I think I'll be giving it as gifts!

Here's their website if you're interested: Sweet Spirit:Gift Store, Car Wash, Seafood Market,& Restaurant:Oklahoma City,OK.

Incredible collection...

I'm a habanero lover Using Naga Dorset powder to spice up meat sauces which I usually end up eating alone while getting suspicious looks from the wife wondering if I'm indeed human. The kids always ask me to put some of it in their grandmothers dish (I obviously oblige ).
For a more serious kick, I use Bih Jolokia powder, the hottest habanero pepper found in nature. A small teaspoon of the stuff in a dish for 4 will have all the dinner participants weeping. Normal human beings who naively entered the kitchen while the dish is cooking leave immediately, with tears in their eyes. I usually get hickups while eating it, but it has a delicious mango flavor, even better than Naga Dorset habanero. Bih Jolokia is rated at 1,000,000 Scoville. To put this into perspective, Tabasco or Cayenne is 30,000. Tear gas is 2,000,000.

Agree about the super hot sauces like Mad Dog 357 or the like: they're horribly hot, but taste artificial and like bad vinegar.
