Crimsonmistymemory Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I have come to love Hot Sauce in my old age. Although I love the hint of heat I don't care for it when it is too hot. My belief the flavor of the hot sauce should compliment the flavor of the food and not overpower the flavor of the food. The Hottest Hot Sauce I ever had was in a Hot Sauce I ever had was made at a specialty shop called Holy $#!T one drop on a tortilla chip and I was sweating for 10 minutes could not speak or remember my name. As the sauce was made from concentreted Habenero seed juice. All I can say is they gave it the right name because when I regained my speach skills that was the 1st thing I said and not to mention that was the primary thought during the whole episode. Way too hot for me! Tobasco is too vinegary for me as well as alot of the other famous brands, My favorite is Franks Red Hot it has the perfect balance of heat and flavor and I can put it on just about everything and enjoy the enhancement I aslo use it alot for cooking. But Freid chicken and scrambled eggs are the two top uses for me. The Huy Fong Siracha sauces come in a close 2nd also to the nice balance of flavor and heat but for me Franks is #1 :finbar: :burger: Edited August 4, 2015 by Crimsonmistymemory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I use a lot of different hot sauces because there is a flavor component unique to the pepper used in each sauce. It depends what I'm eating or cooking. My number 1 go to is Frank's Red Hot-hot, spicy, and IMHO a better vinegar "bite" to it that trumps Tabasco, Crystal etc. I do use that s--t on just about everything. On Mexican food-Choula. On barbecue i use a home made sauce with a Jerk seasoning blend (Scotch Bonnets-Hoot Mon.) Also loves me some sriraccha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ran low on Frank's last week and decided to give Texas Pete a try. Less vinegar, less salt, a little more heat. Good all around hot sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Really enjoying sriracha these days. Like ILSnowdog, I don't care for the vinegary nature of a lot of Latino hot sauces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Rythm Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Can't deal with my mouth melting. With that said i do a lot of Cajun cooking which is spicy but not necessarily "hot". I like Louisiana brand seasonings.I haven't eaten a liquid chicken without Louisiana brand hot sauce in at least 20 years. And Cajun spiced pork over charcoal is God's go to meal. DIVINE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I got into Frank's in Summer 2013 and was addicted like crazy. Tabasco and Tapatio are behind although Chipotle is my favorite Tabasco flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just got into Crystal. Got some at my local Safeway (Vons) store on Sunday before Super Bowl. It's like a Cajun version of Frank's taste wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Franks and Crystal make hot wings taste traditional. So I pick Franks as its always on hand and its not so hot it hurts.I have a bottle of Texas Pete that I'm going to throw away. I don't like it and its been in my fridge for 2 years at minimum. Franks is my favorite for every day use. For Mexican food, we like salsa. All kinds of salsa's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Strangely enough, ( I'm WEIRD ya know...) Taco Bell FIRE sauce. Bottled for store sales. It's not flaming hot, but meets my criteria for ACCEPTABLE for non-over-the-top heat. In my experience too much heat kills the flavor of what it is used on. Cholula is good, but not good enough for me..... :tsk: . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
