What's your favorite hot-sauce?

shouldn’t you prefer the Official DataLounge BBQ sauce instead, OP?

This thread is about hot sauce, not BBQ sauce, R1. Stay on topic.

Hot sauce?!! Cream of wheat is too spicy for me!

fine, no-fun OP. you probably need some spice in your life.

Tapatio.

It's OK, R1. Don't feel bad, I do like BBQ sauce too. Maybe we should have a favorite condiment thread next?

I like Louisiana Hot Sauce because I'm partial to its vinegary taste. It has more vinegar than McIlhenny's. I use it for breakfast foods mainly. Unfortunately, stores in my area seem to have stopped carrying it. A Walmart waaay on the other side of town has it in stock, apparently, but Walmart and a 10 mile trip for hot sauce? I'll just wait 'til I order a bunch of stuff from Amazon. For Mexican food, I prefer Cholula to Tapatio.

Do any of you like those super hot sauces, Ghost Pepper, Death, and so on?

Crystal.

Louisiana Gold and Cholula are tied for me.

Frank's and only Frank's.

Frank's and then Sriracha for Asian food.

I like Crystal, but I can't find it in my area anymore.

Cholula is so mild that it really shouldn't be classified as a hot sauce.

R12 You can get crystal on Amazon for about $10 for 2 bottles with free shipping. Not as cheap as in the supermarket but not crazy expensive.

A lil dab will do ya!

El Yucateco Habanero

If you’re ever in LA check out this store called Light My Fire. They have over 1000 hot sauces!

Tabasco has too much vinegar for my tastes. I prefer Crystal, Louisiana, or Tapatio for most uses. Growing up in Tucson we had a local brand named Poblano. It was perfect for Mexican foods, and in a bean burrito, it was heaven.

I LOVE that sauce R16! I mix a little bit with melted butter and pour it over popcorn.

Spicy!

I love Tabasco too.

Agree with R7 - Louisiana Hot Sauce

What’s a good hot sauce for salmon?

Vietnamese garlic chili sauce.

Trader Joe's Horseradish is HOT. I like to put it on sandwiches sometimes. Does that qualify as a HOT sauce?

Another vote for Cholula.

Frank’s RedHot. I put that shit on everything.

We make our own hot sauce. It's delicious, on the very hot side, with a "secret" blend of three pepper types, our own homemade vinegar, and other great ingredients.

You people who use commercial products are so lazy and satisfied with a fancy label. Ugh.

I keep this one on hand.

Tabasco's Chipotle is excellent. Tapatio is good and dirt cheap.

His sauce.

There's nothing fancy about hot sauces r30. Favorite hot sauces.. Not favorite family recipe of hot sauces, dummy

^His sauce probably needs to be recalled due to an unexpected solidified ingredient.

His sauce comes with HIV.

R30 doesn’t mine her own salt and is consequently a lazy sell-out. Keep giving your money to big corporate salt, you sheep. I’ll continue to make my own hot sauce from actual scratch, as opposed to your semi-homemade, striving Sandra Lee dreck.

Well I can make my own. Sterilize a couple jars, get about 2 to 3 pounds of Jalapeno peppers and quarter them. If your'e a pussy you'll take the seeds and ribs out. Heat up a salt brine then place the cut up peppers in the jar and pour the brine over. Seal jars - now wait a month or so. Open the jar and the liquid brine is now a nice little hot sauce.

^ Jalapenos aren't hot. Are you Caucasian?

For general use, Louisiana Hot Sauce; Tabasco is too watery, Frank’s too thick. Louisiana is right in between. But I love Cholula on breakfast eggs for some reason.

Who would pick Tobasco? Was this a troll post? That’s the first hot sauce you ever taste. Basic.

I love this stuff. The prices online are stupid, but local stores have for $1-$2 per bottle.

Cholula. Not super-hot, so you can add a lot.

Nice pun R42!

I'm surprised to see so many answers.

Most bitches on here find ketchup too spicy.

I go to Alberto's here in SoCal, and their red sauce is hot and so good. I get extras and keep them on hand.

No fans of salsa verde?

Saw this one reviewed at YouTube, which warned favorable comments. Cute packaging of each bottle as a dynamite stick.

I'm not a big fan of smoky Chipotle flavor though.

Casablanca Markets Harissa

My flavorite.

A little dab'll do ya!

My favorite. Love to spread it on my buns.

I really like Frsnks's Hot Sauce.

I prefer Tapatio, it provides good enjoyable heat and is made without vinegar which changes the taste of the food it is applied to. Most hot sauces are peppered pickle juice.

I like original Tabasco and Tapatio.

Hot sauce sales are booming.

Are you using more hot sauce that you did, say, ten years ago?

I just tried this one: Laoganma brand "spicy chili crisp." It's oil based. Very delicious. Not super hot.

Tobasco is a cop-out. It doesn’t say much about your palate, other than you probably ate a lot of Cheerios and processed cheese slices as a kid.

Cholula too

IMO, Tapatio is better than Cholula and is much cheaper. Also, Cholula seems like it’s thickened with flour, like a gravy.

Frank's is the native sauce for Cincinnati. So its what I grew up using.

sean evans is my favorite hot sauce

I think Cholula is excellent, though I can tolerate much hotter if that's the goal. What Cholula lacks in heat, it makes up for in flavor.

Cincinnati is home to that fucked up, ersatz gunk they erroneously call "chili," so I have no illusions that their fucking hot sauce isn't fucked up too. Fuck Franks!

Frank's. I put that shit in everything.

Macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, pizza.

I'm from the Midwest BTW. Minnesota.

I agree with those who said Cholula; it has such a great flavor. If you haven't tried Pickapeppa, you should. All are excellent.

Valentina extra hot, mmm.

At the moment it's coconut sriracha.

There are so many good hot sauces on the market how can you pick just one or two?

My choice of hot sauce varies entirely on what food I am putting it on. Franks, Tabasco, Cholula and lots of more obscure brands are all excellent when used in the right way and not as stellar when misused. Franks is perhaps the most versatile in my opinion - but it is so closely linked to the flavor of Buffalo wings that most people likely avoid it for that reason.

Matouks Calypso sauce hands down. My favorite for over 25 years along with Sriracha.

Does mustard count as hot sauce. Because I LOVE mustard. All kinds of mustard. Yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard, dijon mustard, honey mustard, horseradish mustard, german mustard etc.
