Your favourite "hot" sauce ?

**mace** · 06-22-2008, 02:20 AM

Yes! I do love chili sauces, hot sauces, pikante sauces, lava sauces....You get it right

I'm interested in what sauces You rate the highest. Your top three would be great.

Most members here come from the US, I'll go out on a limb and claim that the US is the home of hot sauces today

Let me have it now, smother me!!!!

If you are buying off them, get smoky chilpotle, african hot and habanero. I can garuntee you won't be dissapointed. The plum dipping sauce is also fantastic just with some breadsticks or carrot sticks

For the obtained in the US:

1. Sambal Oelek (the non garlic version) [Thai style]
2. Rick's [Carribean, scotch bonnet style]

If you any asian/carribean markets near you, I'd definitely ask if there's any local blends available, as you really get something special with homemade sauces.

Good ol' Tobasco red (on most everything)
Dave's insanity sauce
El Yucateco red
El Yucateco Habanero when I'm feeling full-on suicidal

**SmoovD** · 06-22-2008, 06:55 AM

Louisiana Hot and Frank's Red fit the bill around my home.

**TENroaches** · 06-22-2008, 07:19 AM

Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Pepper Sauce

Then Tabasco Habanero.

**rickw** · 06-22-2008, 07:20 AM

I use tuong ot toi viet-nam by Huy Fong Foods, Eros Pista (hot Hungarian paprika) and Tapatio.

**homebrewer** · 06-22-2008, 07:26 AM

Even though it is a bit pedestrian, I just LOVE the Tobasco Chipotle. There was a period of time that I was going through a bottle a week....

**NeckShaver** · 06-22-2008, 07:54 AM

Crystal, what a classic hot sauce should taste like.

Then what the hell do you think when you're using Dave's Insanity Sauce?! That stuff is lethal!

Now that's a perfect list, the same for me in my house.

I agree, Tobasco on most everything. Have you tied a few drops in Cream of Mushroom soup? Awesome.
I even add a few drops to my maple syrup on my pancake pile which is three eggs over light and sausage stuffed between two oversized pancakes (note: no lunch on these days)...killer stuff

**MTgrayling** · 06-22-2008, 09:00 AM

A favorite hot sauce! That's like trying to pick a favorite razor, not gonna happen. I have a few I love though.

Growing up 100 miles from Buffalo and being in college through the wing craze ($.05 wings and $.25 beers!) of course I love "Franks Red Hot". They can't make a damn wing in this state that's for sure.

Tabasco and breakfast is like a hand and a glove.

Not sure if it's considered a true hot sauce but "Tiger Sauce" is a favorite on most foods since a German friend introduced me to it about 6 years ago, sweet and spicy, yummy stuff.

Edit: I love the Crystal as well, think I'll pick up another bottle today. Thanks NeckShaver.

Love it too. GREAT on eggs of all kinds.

Trappey's Red Devil, while not especially hot, is a very traditional Southern hot sauce and terrific on smoked brisket.

For HEAT I like that Rooster Sauce you can get in Asian markets.
