Who likes hot sauce? What's your fave?

[lapislzi]

Trying to get a book project off the ground here.

I'm a big fan of the Pain is Good line myself.

I know everyone here is already hot 'n spicy...give it up, guys. What's your favorite hot sauce or hot dish?

[GOPisEvil]

1. Sriracha!!!

:9

[lapislzi]

9. I gotta get me some of that

Many people have recommended it to me. Country of origin? Available at Mo Hotta Mo Betta?

[GOPisEvil]

12. Not sure where it comes from. Somewhere in Asia.

But I can get it in my supermarket.

[omshanti]

15. Sriracha is from Thailand; also try Sambal Oelek

Sambal Oelek is Indonesian red chilli paste, it is awesome and recently I have foudn it in my local grocery store!

edited to say that sambal oelek is not a brand, it means chili paste in Indonesian.

[bif]

21. I thought Sambal Oelek is from Vietnam?

I love the garlic flavored Sambal Oelek.

[omshanti]

27. the term "sambal oelek" is Indonesian...

but it's found all over south-east Asia.
Yummy!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. and Tapatio, and Cholula...all good ones

[GOPisEvil]

17. Cholula is very good!

I have to agree.

[bo44]

43. Tapatio and Sriracha are the bomb.

cholula is good but not worth the extra cost. A 16 oz bottle of Tapatio costs 1.29 in the Producto Mexicanos here.

[The Night Owl]

2. Sriracha

Are there any others?

[Howardx]

6. BINGO!

my choice too

[eyesroll]

3. Blair from the "Facts of Life" likes hot sauce!

Seriously, though -- I like Tiger Sauce on over-easy eggs.

[Gelliebeans]

4. my fave sauce

Tapitio -- can get a big bottle at Costco--not that hot but I put it on everything from tacos to grilled cheese sandwhich

[franmarz]

24. favorite sauce-HOT.

Tapitio, added to my own. I deskin banana peppers,, chop onions, tomatoes, add oregano, salt, pepper, vinegar and oil.THEN throw in the tapitio---Great!

[HerbieHeadhunter]

5. Melinda's Habanero Pepper Sauce - XXXtra Hot

...has the best flavor if you ask me. I go through a bottle a month.

[redqueen]

7. Dat'l Do It is good

So is Ray's...

[KurtNYC]

8. Cholula

[TheSuaveOne]

10. Gotta...

...have the hot stuff. We just had a Chipotle build around the corner from work. I now have my new lunchtime digs for a while...la

11. Scorned Woman

I'm a hot sauce lover/collector. I always buy 2 - one to keep, one to try. My current count is 387 different sauces from all over the world.

Ask me questions!

BTW, ya gotta love some of the labels. Two of my naughty favs are 'Pain and Pleasure' and one of it's partner sauces, 'Pain and Suffering". A couple of my downright nasty labels: 'The Hottest Fuckin' Sauce' and 'Mean Green Motherfucker'.

The Ass line isn't too bad either (Ass In Space, Ass In the Tub, Ass in antarctica, etc.

I think I like the labels almost as much as the sauces.

[lapislzi]

13. Love the labels

I also collect.

I had fun with "Smack My Ass and Call Me Sally" a few years ago. "Mean Green Motherfucker" sounds like it's worth trying.

[skippythwndrdog]

14. Do you have

Smack My Ass and Call Me Sally, the Second Helping?

[lapislzi]

20. You know it...

little spankie goes a looooong way...

[skippythwndrdog]

33. Bitch in Heat ain't too bad, either!

And if you're really pissed at someone, Da Bomb (just a couple of drops in a large pot of chili) will make your point.

[boneygrey]

18. Dave's Insanity Sauce

hot as hell

[lapislzi]

25. But it doesn't taste good

It's just hot. I like flavor in my hot sauce.

[LanternWaste]

19. Del Torro Jabanero Sauce

Del Torro Jabanero Sauce which happens to be made ONLY at La Placita del Torro in the town where I'm currently living. A few drops of this on a taco (NOT American style taco's, but real ones :) ) and any gringo is guaranteed nasal drip for the next twenty hours...

[patcox2]

22. Pain is Good sauces are my favorite - the hip flask rule.

Because of my experience with the pain is good sauces, I coined "the hip flask rule," any hot sauce that comes in a hip flask is good.

I don't know the batch numbers, but I absolutely love the bald guy, the orange-y sauce with loads of garlic, and the chunky louisiana style. That Pain is Good stuff is truly superior hto sauce.

Some odd ones, with interesting flavors, not just blazing hot, include "Dat'l do it," one called "Gator" or "Gator Bait" or Gator Hammock," I forget which, its a reference to UF, but the sauce is great, and my strange favorite, "Cafe Louisiane," which has a bunch of truly odd spices in it, including cloves, which gives it the most amazing flavor.

[lapislzi]

26. Garlic one is my favorite too

The Louisiana one is a little too smoky. The one with the dreadlock guy is also good. Has a nice substantial carrot note.

[mac56]

23. My lovely wife is a hot sauce connoisseur.

Her favorite is Marie Sharp's Habanero sauce, white label.

[roach23]

28. check this out:

http://cajunmarket.com/Monicas-Hot-Sauce/

Down On Your Knees Hot Sauce! For oral consumption only!

I had some friends a while back who had some sauce called

"Bitches In Heat" hot sauce, but I've never been able to find it.

[patcox2]

30. Hot Bitch in Heat

Made in delaware, I beleive.

[roach23]

31. my dumb ass

just realized that was a monica lewinsky joke. There really was a local guy around here who had a hot sauce called Down On Your Knees hot sauce, but it wasn't a monica joke. He sold it at the farmer's markets.

[regularguy]

29. "Inner Beauty"

Mmmmmm...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Jose Madrid Spanish Verde XX Hot Salsa

The XX Hot will clear your sinuses with one tiny whiff.

[MrScorpio]

34. Plain old Durkee's Red hot

I like it simple

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. I love sriracha but my fave is El Yucateco

[Wapsie B]

36. Last Supper from Big Daddy's BBQ

in Des Moines. I've had Emergency Room, but that's way beyond what I can handle.

[maveric]

37. Tabasco! I love the Louisiana taste.

Its not too hot but I still love it.
As for Mexican hot sauce it would have to be Tapatito

[lapislzi]

38. For Louisiana, nothing beats Crystal's

thin and vinegary, with a nice garlic note.

[Digger]

42. Agreed,

I like 'em all but Crystal is still my favorite.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

39. Har Har Sauce

I smothered some Chinese food in Har Har sauce once, not realizing how hot it was. It's very dark colored and made with black peppers in oil. It made me sick for days.

[DS1]

40. Cholula, All varieties of Frank's, Sriracha, plain old Cayenne sprinkled

on food, Tabasco Green and Habanero, others.

[Ilsa]

41. Trinidad Habanero Pepper sauce, mild, please.

I put it on eggs for breakfast or corn or steak. Not too hot, very bright Carribbean flavor. I have to order it from Florida because most places in Texas carry Mexican and southwest-flavored hot sauces.

[AlFrankenFan]

44. Tabaso and Louisiana Hot Sauce ROCK!

Tabasco is great on popcorn. It's pretty unique. And in gumbo. :D

[fishnfla]

45. Chrystal for flavor

the real hot ones tear my lower parts to pieces
