Hot Sauce

Not long after marrying, my wife asked me if I put Tabasco on everything, well, nearly. It is always a disappoitment to me if I ask for it and they bring me Louisiana, or Texas Pete, not that I hate them, but definetely a let-down. My son bought me the whole Daves set, I think there were 7, but their gone now, and those others you mentioned have got me curious, as I've never seen them. Spice it up!

4 million SHU? Are you kidding me? You must have magma flowing out of your backside! I prefer flavor over heat.

Daves insanity! I was offered a job as a taster/guinea pig for them (they're right down the street from me). I asked what happened to the others tasters and they said their taste buds have been blown out. I passed. I like food, booze, cigars and p u s s y too much.

I love trying new hot sauces. However, my go-to is still good old tabasco. It isn't very hot, but the flavor is great and has enough heat to spice things up. Not exactly the same thing, but I picked my first ripe habanero of the summer yesterday!

I like spicy but don't go to the ultra hot any longer. Once you get past a certain range, it's nothing but heat.... and pain. You can't taste the subtleties and complexities any longer. One that I really enjoy is the Tabasco Habanero with it's notes of mango.

I love hot sauce, but nothing very hot. I much prefer flavor over heat. I put Texas Pete on nearly everything.

You should look into pure capscasin. It's 16 million SHU. It is the hottest substance around. If you buy a kit, it comes with gloves, protective eye wear, and a resperator. The s*it is nothing to mess around with. When I was with my ex, I used to put hot sauce on everything that I ate just so she would not eat it. More food for me. My money bought it and I'm going to eat it. All of it.

+1 I hate sharing and my gf loves to snack on my food. Hot sauce is the answer! One sauce I've been digging lately is called Brother Brubru's. Pretty hot, but a great flavor that I haven't experienced elsewhere.

I just wanted to add that I do not think flavor and heat are mutually exclusive. I have had not too hot sauces that were just spice with very little flavor as well as extrememly hot sauces that had tons of flavor. I have also found that as I eat hotter things I can pick up more flavors in the really hot sauces. I think part of the belief that really hot sauces don't have flavor comes from those who aren't used to that level of heat, whatever it may be, and cannot pick up on the flavor due to the pain. IMO, in this way it is much like it is with cigars. Put someone on a huge, ultra-full cigar who isn't used to it and most of the flavors are going to be wasted. Give it to someone who has experience with those type of cigars and what they taste will generally be a lot different. Just my $.02

I prefer flavor and am not a fan of the super hot. I lean toward the LHS/TP side of hot sauce on selected foods, not everything I consume. It can be addictive!

I agree. The more I move up in SHU tolerance, the more flavors I'm getting out of them. My go to right now is Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Sauce. It's 550,000 SHU but the flavors are absolutly stunning. It starts off with a nice smoky note and then turns sweet and finishes with just a little bite of ghost chili's. That stuff is might tasty. My dad thinks that I'm off of my rocker with hot sauce.

I went to the sauce shop last night and picked up a bottle of Dave's Crazy Carribbean. The stuff is out of this world tasty!!!!! I might have to pick up another bottle of it just to have one at home and one in my car.

Somewhat related to this post. I often do Chinese hot pot (think fondue, but instead of cheese it's a soup base) and my local supermarket has a pre-made spicy Sichuan soup base. What is unique about the soup base is that it uses Sichuan peppers. The peppers don't have heat, but causes a tingly/numb sensation on the tongue and it also has a tartness to it.

Lots of guys love this sauce. For whatever reason, and I can't really put my finger on why, I don't realy care for it. I'll use it, just don't prefer it. Different strokes, for sure.

Personally, it's best on fried rice or chow mein.
