What's your favorite hot sauce?

It's nice to see places have Lola's packets. I feel like that's picking up momentum.

I love the flavor of Tobasco Green but it lacks in hotness.

Was literally just gonna post this. Just saw it in my fridge. Goes amazeballs with eggs.

Almost anything from Cholula.

Tobasco or Frank's. I usually make it myself though. Reapers, cayenne, bell, jalapeño, garlic, salt vinegar. Let it ferment for a few days. Yum yum.

Do you ferment before or after blending?

Marie Sharp's family of Habenero Sauces.

On their 5X sauce has a warning label to not play tricks on the weak or elderly.

The Chipotle tobasco is fantastic. The regular tobasco sucks.

I love a good hot sauce, and I use it for lots and lots of applications. But it has to be more than just heat. It's got to bring some flavor to the table.
I'm a big fan of Cholula's products, specifically their chipotle and chili garlic varieties.
And the original Huy Fong Sriracha is a staple for certain dishes.
I also really like Trader Joe's Green Dragon sauce, which is basically just pureed jalapeno and garlic.
And throw in some Mike's Hot honey, for good measure.

I know that there are plenty of other options that have their fans, but those are the ones I keep.

What kind of hot sauces are in your fridge/pantry?

Go to HyVee or Whole foods and get this: https://www.yellowbirdfoods.com/products/classic-blue-agave-sriracha.

It's perfect for eggs and meats.

Melinda's

Melinda's Hot Sauce, Craft Pepper Sauces, Condiments, Ketchup, BBQ, and Preserves Made with Real, Wholesome Ingredients

www.amazon.com

Buy them all… You won’t be disappointed. I really mean it.. buy everything!

There's a bunch of stories on the web, but back in the day the Melinda's brand stole the recipe from Marie Sharp, who was a habanero farmer (Melinda family farm). She eventually went off on her own under her name brand.

Huy Fong’s Sambal Oelek. Hard to find it recently, though.

Do you ferment before or after blending?

After. I do reblend afterwards and add the vinegar. One or two drops really enhances flavor and gives just the right amount of heat. For me anyway.

Good to know that I’m not the only one who uses hot sauce on cottage cheese.

 

[Pragmatic_Clone]

El Yucateco XXXtra Hot. Fantastic smoked-lime flavor!

 

[Pragmatic_Clone]

This is my go-to. Great sauce!

I've always wanted to try the Hot Ones sauces.

It is a lot of fun, but obviously very hot. I bought one of the season lineups (season 16 i think). My brother in law bought later season. Their los calientes verde is really good. Last dab has decent flavor. Da bomb truly is terrible. Tastes bad and it hits you all over. Last dab tends to stay put. Its very hot where it touches, but the heat doesnt travel around like some others.

Most people could probably pretty easily handle the 1st 7 sauces.

I've had Da bomb. I guess I meant I wanted to try their sauces that they make.

Tabasco Chipotle is crack. Not a fan of the regular Tabasco, the Jalapeno is good, but the Chipotle is THE best. We are on our 2nd gallon; the first one didn't last a year.

Mix this with ranch for dipping Canadian Walleye into. Best **** in the bush!

Valentina’s

Their regular, not extra hot. Used to be all over grocery stores for $1.29/bottle. Now it’s almost impossible to find. My whole family is hooked and we usually end up buying it off Amazon for $4-$5/bottle.

Depends on what I'm making with it. I use Tapatio when I'm making my breakfast burritos (I just dump some in with the eggs, bacon, cheese, onion and peppers and stir it all up). I'll put Tobasco on scrambled eggs sometimes. Any variety of El Yucateco for when I make tacos. Frank's for buffalo wings or most other barbecue-related recipes that call for hot sauce.
