Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What's your favorite hot sauce?

You gotta have Frank's and maybe Sriracha.

Tried another good one the other night that would be a good addition once you have the bare minimum of Franks and Sriracha covered - Tiki Bob's Scorpion. Not as hot as you'd think and has a excellent flavor.

Blair's Mega Death with Liquid Rage

edit: I mentioned the Mega Death in jest to see who'd call me on it.

For me Frank's isn't hot enough, but I don't need crazy. The majority of my hot sauce consumption is from the regular Tabasco, Crystal, Louisiana gang.

I've had that one before, pretty mild heat as I remember.

Had some on my quesadilla yesterday! Sister sent me a bottle last year. Went through that one quick, found a bigger bottle at the bigger grocery in the bigger town up the road when I was there last week.

Like others, can't say it's my "favorite". Right now there's that on the counter, a bottle of Red Tabasco, remnants of Salsa Bufalo chipotle, some hot toasted chile de arbol oil (my homemade version and some from a Mexican joint that went out of business) in the fridge. Then, that big store had cans of Herdez on sale so I bought a half dozen each of Ranchera, Casera, and Verde.

One might say I love hot sauce, dried peppers, fresh peppers etc as there's always some nearby.

One thing I can say, I'm not a fan of the garlic or green Tabasco products.

Yeah, that green stuff is kind of a failure.

I'm also years past the "hotter is better" age. For absolute deep rich flavor, the best is Arizona Gunslinger, made with sun-ripe red jalapenos. It is thicker than the vinegar-based ones like Tabasco, and a dark red-brown in color. Magnificent. It is hard to find, but you can order it directly. LINK

My current Fave is Crystal, which is the "New Orleans Alternative" to Tabasco. I think it is more flavorful than Tabasco, and less vinegary. It also costs about 10¢ an ounce compared to 45¢ for Tabasco. Hard to beat that.

But I also thoroughly enjoy Franks, Tapatio, Cholula, Lousiana, Sriracha, and a bunch of others.

Tip to the wise: Try some Arizona Gunslinger (or your fave) on potato salad. Heavenly.

I have about 8 different bottles of Pex Peppers sauces in the fridge right now. Good stuff with awesome flavor. I have about 40 or so bottles on standby in the cupboard. I stocked up to save on shipping, and I give a lot of them away to friends.

Favorite, as in singular? No such thing for me. I have at least a 1/2 dozen and home and an equal number I enjoy at restaurants.

Tobasco regular, chipotle and garlic are good
Tapatio
Franks
Sriracha
Hung Fong garlic chilli
Cholula
El Yucateco

I'm probably forgetting a few.

Re the green jalapeno sauces. The one thing I've found they really work on is hard-boiled eggs. Oddly, not as well on regular fried eggs. But on hard-boiled, it is really good.

The heavily garlic ones like Sriracha also have more limited uses than a straight hot sauce. But in those uses, they're a natural. Spaghetti Marinara is one such use. On a chili dog is another.

A related goodie that I got for Xmas was some "Spicy Chili Bacon Jam". I'm not big on jelly/jam, but this stuff was great. Pepper jelly/jam is a another whole area to enjoy the heat, especially with bacon bits in it!

Mike The Spike: Never used "hot sauce" as you depict it - never have, never will.
I do though very much enjoy Chinese hot type mustard on my Americanized Chinese food.

Absolutely.....Chipotle flavor, a little bite with flavor.

Can't stand the ones with the overpowering vinegar taste.

Are you talking about the types that give you a nasal blowout, horseradish based I guess, love that too.

Like most all of them, but generally always keep and fall back on Tabasco.

Pico Pica

Pico Pica Mild

Michigan made Billy Bones Hog's Breath . Good flavor with a touch of heat. Red ripe jalapeno , vinegar and salt....simple as that.

Tabasco

In Texas most restaurants had little green peppers in a shaker bottle filled with vinegar. Hot, but more zippy than hot. A little mild for chili but just right for eggs.
