EVERYBODY KNOWS SRIRACHA EXISTS AND THAT YOU PUT IT ON EVERYTHING, SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP


i think i made a hot sauce thread before, but here's another

My current favorite:

I've been eating a little bit each day and I'm finally getting to the point where I can almost douse tamales in it. 


Very similar flavor (scotch bonnet and habanero are different but taste basically the same), but thicker:

Sambal Oelek is basically the same as the chili garlic, but a fair bit milder.  all the flavor, not too much burn.  Probably about as hot as sriracha.

El Yucateco is pretty good...could use a little...vinegar.   :-[    I am a vinegar whore, i'll admit.

There’s a commercial for hot sauce on TV with the tagline, “I put that #%*& on everything.” That’s how I feel about sriracha.

goddamnit, first fucking sentence :maf

:lol

(http://i.imgur.com/nPG1h.png) i hate that bullshit sometimes.... wheres my pepper and spices at. Less vinegar is more breh. Thats like half the reason i think traditional buffalo wings are just OK. I need layers of flavor breh.

oh, it's key for wings.  otherwise, the rest of the hot sauce, butter, chicken grease just kinda blend.  I think it's the butter's fault.  The vinegar keeps it in check, i think.

Matouk's Hot Pepper Sauce is pretty amazing. I was recently at the NY Hot Sauce festival in Brooklyn and they had some delicious ones...

(http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/hotsauceworld_2253_45360178)

This one in particular kicked my ass. It starts off relatively mild and sweet, then the burn sloooooooowly hits you until it completely overpowers you. I would like to think of myself as someone who has a tolerance for spicy foods (a former Buffalo resident who tells the waitstaff at Indian restaurants to double down on the spice) but this one kicked my ass even...

:bow this thread

my dad always loved to grab any kind of hot sauce he could find, a trait i have now inherited. right now the hottest stuff i got in my house are some el yucateco and matouks calypso sauce, which has scotch bonnets in it. id love to taste their hottest but i can only find it when the international store around here randomly stocks it. really tho those are about as hot as i want to get; anything more and its less about taste and more about the burn.

also i gotta brag and say i have tried a ghost pepper before. it was a paper-thin slice, but it was so fuckin hot that i burned my upper lip from the air coming out of my nose. never again.

Datils are similar in strength to habaneros but have a sweeter, fruitier flavor.

ive had curries made with them. theyre just brutal. its like a slow implosion of your being. every symptom of spice; pain, tears, sniffles. it basically feels like youre going to fucking die. I have a ghost chili salsa in my fridge i can only put a small teaspoon of on sandwiches.

ill try matouks on the strength of your rec. :mynicca

there used to be an indian restaurant around here that i swear fucked up my order and just dumped a shitload of crushed ghost pepper all over my food. it was by far the hottest thing i ever tasted and my words alone cannot do it justice. my cats ran from me in terror when they smelled my breath. i was a half hour late to work the next day because i was on the toilet. and it took me three fuckin days to eat it because it was so painful. the place closed a little while after that, but i wish it was still around so i could trick someone else into ordering what i got :(

anyone else have the curse of massive hiccups when they eat spicy stuff that's out of their range?   

I swear, I look like I'm having a seizure...sweaty, red face, hiccups.   can only just barely mumble "no...it's fine...it's...good" in between hiccups and more bites. 

this is why I can't eat spicy stuff in public.

I use it when I attempt and fail to make my own buffalo wing sauce.   Pretty much the same level as Crystal, douse everything with it.

that's about what i figured. i love the stuff but didn't know if people considered it the Olive Garden of hot sauces.

i like to make my own buffalo sauce from it too - i usually do about equal parts Franks and Ketchup, then a spoon or two of melted butter. I usually add some garlic powder too, it's certainly passable.
Title: Re: Hot Sauce thread
Post by: Don Flamenco on May 21, 2013, 10:49:22 AM
i think i overdo it on the butter.  ah ketchup...I never added that before, but I can see how it would make it more flavorful

You know the run-off that occurs in Ketchup if you leave it sitting for awhile? the watery ketchup?

That's basically what Franks is

One of the best things to come out of Ann Arbor. Has a lot of flavor, not very sour and has good heat without feeling like pepper spray. Pretty much my allspice these days.

I haven't had a chance to use it much though. I stirred half a spoon full into my chicken ramen soup and a little on some pizza. Both were great!

Irwindale. Man, do a google street view on that city, you'll find nothing but chemical processing, and one crappy NASCAR track. They're complaining about headaches and air quality, it AIN'T the Sriracha.
