the pizza topping thread got me thinking. i noticed a bunch of you guys like tabasco on pizza. i live about 45 minutes from the place where it is made. yet i don't like original flavored tabasco. they have started making new flavors. my favorite is sweet and spicy. kinda like the sweet and sour from the chinese place. but with mild heat. not too vinagery. so what is your favorite hot sauce? and how hot can you go?
-
For everyday use I love Tabasco but there is a specialty suace out there called Scorned Woman and it is amazing, its hotter than hell and it still has a great flavor to it. most of the sauces out there give up all flavor for pure heat.

For everyday use I use Valentina. I get it at the Mexican grocery stores. It's medium heat and has a great flavor.
-
i cant handle much hot sauce because of the colitis and all. i used to LOVE tobasco sauce though and eate it on almost everything.
-
I always get teh mild sauce from Taco bell, that usually is good for me. I know I know call me a whimp ass....but not a hot sauce person.
-
Not hot,, but a very good sauce is something called "Tiger sauce " I get it at Giant supermarkets. I POUR this on tacos, burritos, burgers,ect.
For hot,, and flavor,, Daves Totally Insane,, A few DROPS in a POT of chillie, (sp) or A drop on a burger,, :D :px

I like alot of the home made stuff at the Taco Shops around San Diego. I like the Chipotle and Green Tabasco as well as Tapatio.

Lingham's chilli sauce. It's not painfully hot, but it's still sinus-clearing. It's sweet and it works wherever you might consider ketchup (French fries, chicken, fish). It comes from Malaysia so you probably have to go to an Asian grocery store. While at the Asian grocery store, you should pick up some kimchi, which is spicy and doesn't need any other food to go with it. I like to put kimchi in chicken soup when I have a cold, because I figure I am getting proven remedies from both eastern and western civilization simultaneously.

Tried a lot of different ones, but I still prefer Franks Original Hot Sauce Red

There is a cooking show called Americas Test Kitchen, they test recipes to find the perfect recipes, products etc. They are really quite thorough, anyway they did one on hot sauce brands and Franks Original Hot Sauce killed every other brand thrown at it.
-
I usually watch that show but missed that segment. BTW where do you get the Green Sauce, I only find red here. I actually use so much I buy the BIG container at Sam's Club.
-
I like most of them as long as they have FLAVOR! I don't like things that are made just to sear off tastebuds.

Sorry I meant the green label, Chile and Lime. They also have xtra hot, buffalo wings, hot buffalo, sweet heat bbq, and caeser spicer. I get mine at the local SuperStore.

Don't forget texture! Theres nothing worse than hot sauce that is watery and doesn't stick to your food.

My favorite everyday sauce is Frank's Original......... but I love all hot sauces.
Last September my Uncle gave me his secret recipe for his homemade hot sauce that he has perfected over the last 25 years or so.
Before he would give it to me he made me promise him that I would never give the recipe to anyone in either of the Carolinas or Georgia. My Uncle's sauce is my absolute favorite.
It's a vinegar based sauce that has about 10 other ingredients in it. Its a relatively thin, lightly sweet sauce with a nice zing to it. I can make it as hot as I like by adjusting the amounts of several of the ingredients.
That promise was a small price to pay for a recipe that has been coveted by Family members and friends for many years.

In brazil there is a sauce called "Pimenta Malagueta" and its basically a bunch of malaguetinha peppers steeping in olive oil. when its first made, its not that hot at all. its actually kind of sweet, with just a small hint of heat. If its an older bottle and the peppers have had a long time to steep, it will taste the same, but then it will slowly creep up on you and you will feel quite a bit of heat. But it only stays in the mouth. it doesnt hurt your stomach or on its way out.

True to Louisiana, I like Tabasco, but different kinds on different foods, the original, with it's vinegar base is great on eggs, the new green jalepeno based sauce is good where you don't want high heat, and the habenero based is great on dishes like fried shrimp and oysters where I like a spot of heat in the mix. There is a Vietnamese hot chili sauce that's great with pho--the traditional soup and noodle dish.
Story--but true. I once had a receipe published in the local newspaper for reasons entirely too long to tell. It included Tabasco sauce. About a week after the publication I had a call from a woman who said she was Paul McIlheney's (he's the president of Tabasco) secretary and that he had seen my receipe and wanted to send me something. Well, he sent me a one pint bottle of the traditional sauce w/ my named inscribed on the lable--it's the gift he gives to chefs in the area. It was nice, but before I could pen a thank you note, another package arrived that was so large we had to open both doors--we have double entry doors on the house. In the box were samples of every Tabasco product, pot holders, cups, bowls, aprons, all with the brand all over them--and a tie! Well, I wrote the thank you note and included a statement that the next receipe I had published would also include not only Tabasco, but a reference that the shopping for the ingredients had to be done in a Porsche! I'm still waiting for the Porsche.

Louisiana Hot Sauce
-
"Pain is Good", made with Jamaican Habanero peppers. Extreme heat but with a nice flavor balance as well. I don't pour mine, I drip it. Too much makes for much suffering! >:D
-
The sauces are ok, but I think they are too salty and vinegary. I like to get the heat straight from the peppers. Crushed red, jalepenos, habenaros, chilis, whatever. They are best when cooked into pizza, thai noodles, or just about anything.
-
Siracha is my personal favorite. Dump some of that on pizza and you have one heavenly meal.
-
I put Crystal hot sauce on stuff like steak and chicken.
Tabasco on pizza.
Sriracha on Italian and Asian foods.... it's by far the most IBS inducing.

Not exactly a hot sauce, but I have friends in the southwest bring me Hatch Green Chiles for Green Chile Chicken Encaladas. Got addicted to them when I lived in New Mexico.
Pig Pen will agree, can't live without Hatch Green Chiles. Right Nathan?

We had some of that at a place I worked. Read the label and part of it said, "Great cooking ingredient for sauces, soups and stews. Also strips waxed floors and removes driveway grease stains."
HAHA
