Hey /ck/, I got a question. What's your "mainstream" hot sauce of choice? There's a shit ton of them out there, all with different tastes, and I'm curious what the general choice for everyone is.
For me a dash of Texas Pete to like eggs and simple meals is always gopd, but I'll use tobasco in flavoring more complicated meals. Generally all hot sauces are decent imo, but keep Red Hot away from me. Shit's nasty af
always have a bottle of this and encona hot pepper lying around for my chilis/stews
usually have some peri-peri for wraps, but dunno if thats in the same category of hot sauce
>>8922584
El yucateco green, chipotle, and the xxxtra hot are some of my favorites.
>>8922601
Same
I like the black Valentina.
I don't have any one single "go to" hot sauce that I use for all foods. I think different foods call for different sauces.
These are ones that I keep on hand all the time:
-Chipotle Tabasco
-Cholula
-Crystal or regular Tabasco
-A homemade fermented sauce made from habaneros, peaches, and papaya
-Chinese chili oil (also homemade)
-Sriracha
-Thai sweet chili sauce
>>8922645
Crystal Tabasco?
>>8922584
tobasco is pretty solid
>>8922584
this because it's basically tabasco but with a higher pepper content
so it tastes less of vinegar and more of peppers
$2 for a gigantic bottle.
it's probably not the best-tasting sauce, but it does the job.
>>8922584
maggi, kum lee, and sriracha for fixing shitty food people give me/i fuck up
tabasco for fried foods, especially fried okra and tabasco
nothing much other than that because hot sauce in general isn't really my thing, rather blend up some peppers and make my own that tastes strongly of the pepper
>>8922601
this
>>8922933
Fuck off
hot sauce seems to be extremely expensive in Canada all of a sudden. like the really spicy sauces, not franks and shit.
i found a locally made ghost pepper sauce at a east Indian place that rocks, luckily.
Frank's Red Hot Buffalo for tomato based things that need a kick.
Cholula for just about everything else.
My main hotsauces of choice are sriracha, valentina (for snacking), and tobasco (for very few things like eggs)
>>8922584
Depends on what I'm doing. But usually Frank's red hot or yucateco.
If you're only going to buy one hot sauce, Franks is the top choice, but only because of the huge diversity of what you can do with it.
second place, and my personal favorite is Cholula.
Try the garlic one too, you won't be disappointed
>>8922627
Me too. I haven't found anything to rival black Valentina as an all purpose hot sauce
>>8922601
El Yucateco's lineup is great, especially their Chipotle. Valentina Xtra Hot, Tapatio, Tabasco Garlic, Tabasco brand Sriracha, Chilula Chili Garlic / Poplano Green Pepper.
I don't know why it is, but Louisiana's makes any meal short of sweet deserts better. Tabasco for cooking otherwise
Any good hot sauces above the 100k scoville units you guys like? I'm going to order some Shit the Bed hot sauce this weekend
>>8922987
what is this a pic of? do you have higher res
>>8922653
>>8922933
I stopped eating this when I thought about the conditions manufacturing facilities in Mexico must be like.
Working with 2 Guatemalan dudes turned me on to this sauce. It has really nice heat to it but it's also tangy.
Anyone does their own hot sauce? If yes - how do you store it?
Tabasco(chipotle)
Goose brand 'cha for my 'go 'za
Louisiana gold red
Louisana original chipotle
>>8922584
Tobasco and franks is about as normie as I get with my hot sauce
Dunno if this is the thread for it, but here goes.
I made this hot sauce with 90 grams of Madame Jeanette peppers, 160 grams of red hot spanish peppers, 6 cloves of garlic, 2 minced shalots, 200 grams of honey and 1.5 cups of white vinegar.
It's my first try at making hot sauce and I'm very happy with the result. Very fruity and lots of heat.
>>8922987
mah nigga
>>8922584
Tabasco is for old women and small children.
this, simply because getting any decent hot sauces around here without ordering them online is impossible
>the best you can get at most chains is either tabasco or sriracha knockoff
fuck being a hotfag in eastern europe
valentina extra hot
>>8922584
Chipotle Tabasco
Crystal
A rotation of different east Asian sauces
Peri-Peri Sauce
I really like cholula chipotle sauce, goes well with a lot of things.
Nice with haggis, odd a combination as it sounds.
>>8927100
>sriracha knockoff
kys Aleksy
>>8927177
wrong Hank
Unrelated, but just made pico with habanero and touched my dick without washing hands. Fire, lads! FIRE!
>>8922584
el yucatan habenaro is my go to hot sauce. I don't care for vinegar based hot sauces, mainly because it seems like everyone uses the cheapest shittiest vinegar they can find
>>8927202
I like to stick my fingers up my nose after cutting peppers, you get used to the pain and it gives you a decent buzz
>>8927236
kek. I've never done that on purpose bc it inevitably happens. Pepper buzz is brettygud on your dick 2bqh.
>>8927202
reminds me of a time i'd gotted a bj from a girl that just had a spicy burger at a local joint, at first it genuinely hurt but then i think it kind of reduced my sensitivity and i had the longest fuck of my life
Feel like i've never seen anyone mention Encona on this board. tastes bretty good, spicy enough to make your nose run.
THE SHOW WITH HOT QUESTIONS AND EVEN HOTTER WINGS
MEEEE EEEMM EEEE
>>8925730
how is it fruity if there's just peppers and honey?
this shit right here
>>8922584
out of the ones in that pic, Cholula
Tabasco Green Pepper is really good too
also that sriracha which is everywhere with the rooster on it
Frank's is like spicy vinegar
I don't use "mainstream" hot sauces. I like good hot sauces.
>>8927100
This has become my favorite hot sauce, full stop. I have rooster sauce and Frank's and a bunch of gourmet nonsense but they don't get used anymore. Cannot recommend this shit enough.
>>8922584
Dare I say
>>8928324
That stuff can tend to be a bit bitter
Cayenne pepper. Always
>>8922584
The correct answer is either pic related or Crystal.
Anything not made from Cayenne peppers is not "hot sauce". The purpose of "hot sauce" isn't so much to add capsaicin as it is to add flavor.
Tabasco peppers (unripe and green) should only be used to flavor distilled white vinegar and put on greens and beans.
>>8922952
Their black sauce is one of my new favorites.
>>8928359
>black sauce
loool cuck
Regular Tabasco.
Fuck your patrician tastes, I still like it and I will always like it.
this cheap bottle of shit right here, it's got a good mexican taste without the bitterness of valentina or tapatio.
>>8922584
I usually keep Yucateco (black), Tabasco standard, Cholula original on hand. The other sauces come and go but vary
>>8927229
Agreed, which is a shame because vinegar when high quality is very flavorful and savory.
pic related plus hipster cock and chipotle
hopefully hipster don't find out about piri piri
>>8927281
that shit is always just spic and weak taste
ive tried many of them and its hard tell them apart
>>8928653
>(black)
hahhhahahahahahajha cuck cuck cuck!
>>8922584
Crystal as general purpose hot sauce (pizza, jambalaya, etc.)
Cholula and Tapatio on tacos or other hispanic foods
Sriracha stirred into macaroni and cheese, also good on pizza, pretty general purpose
I stay away from Tabasco, for whatever reason I don't like the taste
>>8922584
Habanero Tobasco
Green Pepper Cholula
Regular Louisiana
Different uses for these, but I keep these mainly for cooking purposes instead of the traditional topping purpose.
>>8929370
they have
>>8927999
Because madame Jeanette peppers taste fruity.
>>8922584
This shit is fucking amazing.
