Poll of the Day > Any Hot Sauce connoissuers here?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got some pack of assorted hot Suace for Christmas and it revitalized my love of spicy things, I'm now looking for some reccomendations for when I run out of the stuff I got, I don't care about heat level as I have a good tolerance right now, as long as it's nicely flavorful to go with the heat and whatever I put it on.

Personally I just buy some local ones that are better than any commercial stuff I've run across. That or I just use fresh (or dried) chili peppers that I grow.

I really like this sauce, it's a good flavor and a decent heat. You can get it through amazon for 3 bucks more. I like to eat spicy things but I find too often they get so spicy that they don't care about flavor and I miss that. This sauce isn't SUPER DUPER HOT, but it is spicy and delicious. Fits perfectly for my criteria, spicy but still tasty.

Honestly some of the best hot sauces you'll ever by is from local wing places. Find a good one around you and I am positive they sale their sauces.

I love how pretty much all the replies are either make your own or find a local place to buy from.

El Tapatio is the king and Melinda's is the queen.

I am only now getting into hot peppers as they have tons of health benefits.

I like jalapeno in most everything: both for the flavor and the spice. My favorite green salsa is Mrs. Renfro's, which is fairly widely available...tasty and, depending on the specific jar, it can add a good zing.

Almost relevant. I had some Hot Sauce variety cheese puffs recently. Some generic brand I think. They were unexpectedly pretty good.

If you like mustard, I would recommend mustard with Scotch Bonnet pepper sauces. Mustard is an incredibly underrated sauce to deliver heat.

For something hotter, featuring Scorpion pepper, and pairs excellently with just about anything due to simple ingredients. Think Tabasco but better tasting and hotter, though I don't find this one EXTREMELY hot. This is my upper limits for everyday hotsauce.

For Mexican centric profile with heat and sweetness, easily among my favorite hot sauces of all time.

For extreme heat, anything with Pepper X or Apollo Pepper. I tend to avoid extracts or concentrates, as a lot of those are made of the same stuff they make mace with.

Read ingredient labels and discover flavor profiles and combinations you may be interested in.

Every hot sauce that Ive gotten from Whole Foods has been very flavorful with just the right amount of heat. I recommend buying from them.
