Every Day Hot Sauce

[SirPorkaLot]

I shop at Wally World for pretty good meat that I can't find at any other stores in the area. :noidea:

We have the old school Walmart. Some groceries, but no meat section that I’m aware of.
Would probably still avoid it even then.

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Crystal is good stuff

 

[Bill-Chicago]

The Cholula Chili Lime is the one I empty the fastest.


We use Tapatio in Michelada's (sp)


My days of enjoying El Yucataco Habenero are long over with.

At one time, I kept a large selection of hot sauce on hand but now I only use Valentino and Sriracha.

I have more in the cupboard but these are currently in rotation. :-D I love hot sauce btw. :mrgreen:

These are my everyday use sauces depending on the dish

Really like this one in particular. Heat to taste ratio is just about perfect for my taste buds and you do get a hint of the whiskey.

Added Frank's,Texas Pete and Valentina to cache this morning

 

[ssv3]

I used to buy Frank's exclusively until they were out one day and I tried Crystal. Nothing wrong with Frank's at all but I haven't looked back. I've tried similar brands like Louisiana, Red Rooster, Trappey's but Crystal is so much better. The vinegar ratio is perfect imho.

Question:
How the heck do you have so many open bottles at once, they don't go past expiration?

That first pic reminds me of how Firehouse Subs used to have the sauce collection on their counter.

The last one reminds me of my favorite, that was a Wild Turkey 101 Habanero Hot sauce.

They get used. If they go past expirations (rarely) I still used them. It's hot sauce it won't kill ya if you go past exp date by a few months.

We have Cafe Rio out here (well they started in UT initially when I lived there for a bit) and they have the sauce collection counter too. I got turned onto the Iguana brand hot sauces from Costa Rica and went there mainly for the hot sauces. :laugh:

What I tell myself is that there's enough capsaicin, acidity, and salt in my hot sauces that if something manages to grow in there and get me, it was my time. :loco:

Much better put. :nod:

 

[ssv3]

Iguana good sauce

I wholeheartedly agree. :heh:

Really been on a Tapatio kick lately. Dredge through that and then dip in a little mayo. Dave's isn't hot but, really good.

I've notice an absence of asian hot sauces in this thread (no, the garlic rooster crap is from California)


Since becoming half Asian in 2017, a entire new world of flavors are opened up to me (they were always there, I just never ventured outside my comfort zone).


So a question, its probably NOT a hot sauce question, so not applicable to this thread....


Have any of you hot sauce folks tried chili oil?


For us here in (depending on the region, but something like Szechuan or Xian cuisine) we have little containers of chili oil on the tables, there is sediment, so there is a little spoon to mix it up.


For everything you use hot sauce on, I add chili oil.


Burgers, fries, pizza, eggs especially, etc.



Here is my go to store bought brand:

 

[16Adams]

Szechuan Shredded Beef is one of our favorite take outs. Ii has a number ranking for heat level when you order. I have oyster sauce, fish sauce and garlic Chile paste, but no oil. The Shredded Beef is like smaller version of asada steak with a dark brown spicy garlic sauce. Not swimming in it but coated

 

[TravelingJ]

I like the chili oil. And even the chili crisp oils. But...I don't often want the added oil. I do like cooking with them, though.

Cutinos is another brand that's really good. I've been through most of their flavors and really like how they are flavor first, heat second.

There is a jar of chili sauce on the table at the thai restaurant we go to that specializes in pho. I swear half a spoon of that oil...with none of the chili flakes... is enough to make me sweat
