Hot sauce junkie

I found some Huy Fong Foods Sriracha hot sauce today so picked up a bottle.
I'm half way through a bottle of Sriracha sauce from Thailand and was good to be able to taste test them side by side.
I have not tried the US brand before. It is similar to the stuff from Thailand with subtle differences.

The Thai one looks a bit thinner and has a slight tang, it leave a after taste. It's all pure with no added preservatives, colouring or msg.
The ingredients are the same but the list vinegar before garlic, so I take that there is more vinegar in it than the other brand.

The Huy Fong Foods Sriracha was a bit thicker and a smoother flavour with no after taste. The heat was a touch hotter but not by much.

I like both but the lack of a after taste with the Huy Fong Foods Sriracha may win this for me. More test needed.
Now to hide the new bottle of hot sauce from the boss.

I love me some chilli sauce (and chillis in general).

My favourite hot sauce is Fire Foods 'Infinity' Sauce. Made with Infinity chillies, it gives an almighty hit of heat with a superb lime tang.

yes it does seem to be a popular sauce for others to copy.
As Thailand is where sriracha hot sauce originate, the Huy Fong sriracha brand is the one coping in the case.
A taste of Thailand made in the USA and is very nice indeed.

A New one to add to the collection. Full pepper flavor with a good seasoning and a hint of vinegar. Made with habanero, scorpion, and ghost peppers.

Picked up three bottles of Hank's Sauce (made in Sea Isle City, NJ). Tried some of the herb infused variety at the Watering Hull, an eatery in Stone Harbor, THEN discovered that surf shop two doors up the street was selling four varieties. Good stuff.

Haven't tried the Hanks sauce. It's in our stores but haven't picked one up. Maybe it's for the future.

I just finished off the New Zealand Green yesterday. That's one that I really like. So that means an opening of a new HS.

Ring of Fire.

This one is a keeper. It has a real fresh garden taste. Nice amount of vinegar too. The sauce is runny with large chunks of peppers, etc. Not at all hot but has a very good kick. Two thumbs up. :thumbup:

I like the fresh flavour with Ring of Fire. It can be used on a lot of things.

Hanks from south Jersey is wonderful. All their varieties.

Is that from the BBQ cook book Aaron? How does it differ from what you normally make?

This one:

Not really any differenc between mine and the books.... so I guess I had it right. The pickled okra is perfect. Would you like to see the recipe?

DoctorShavegood · Jun 28, 2015

Here it is anyway. I like mine hot and spicy. That keeps everyone else from stealing a sip.

cleanshaved · Jun 28, 2015

Thanks Aaron. Hot and spice has the has that effect, it's a win win.

Ha, ha....I rimmed my glass with cayenne, celery seed, salt and pepper. The wife wanted to lick the rim and try the BM. She said, "Whooo....OH NO you didn't!!!" She went straight to the kitchen sink to wash her mouth out. She said a cuss word....ah, more then a few cuss words.

...problem solved.

DoctorShavegood · Jun 28, 2015

This is one of the most delicious hot sauces I have ever eaten. I would advise everyone to try this. They (Nando's) also has different heats. Extra hot is just my favorite.
