I humbly submit, for your viewing pleasure, the world's greatest hot sauce:

[Squatch]

I've sampled hot sauces from near and far, but nothing beats the combination of heat, flavor, and versatility of Sriracha.

[Runcible Spoon]

1. yep, my ex called it "Red Cock". cheap and widely available in Asian food stores.

good stuff.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Damn right...

Looooove Sriracha. :9

[SurfingAtWork]

3. I agree, it is very tasty, versatile and unconventional however

I'm afraid the *best* hot sauce in the world is

[Droopy]

12. Cholula is my favorite

They have it on all the tables at my favorite Mexican restaurant.

[DS1]

4. For pizza, it's

[KitchenWitch]

6. error 403 makes a hot sauce???

:shrug:

[DS1]

8. Here. I was being lazy

tabasco's habanero blend. a line of it down the center of a Stouffer's french bread pizza is outstanding.

[KitchenWitch]

9. Naughty naughty - trying to hotlink!

18. You should check to see if your hot sauce browser's proxies are enabled by mistake.

:P

Or throw an index.htscml file in the bottle.

(Nerd humour, amusing to only myself.)

5. That stuff is great on eggs, breakfast food...

But, the best I've had lately is this...Got some at Trader Days a while back ( large flea market )

7. love it

[Kali]

10. ok you convinced me to try it

Living in close proximity to northern Mexico biases me to those styles but I have heard red cock is good. Is it in the style of salsa roja or is vinegary like the tabascos?

Here is a pretty dang good canned salsa that is cheap and fast if you aren't making homemade (or as a base for fresh):



Herdez salsa casera is not bad either (and their's in a glass jar is quite good):

[SurfingAtWork]

13. To answer your question

It isn't like any tex/mex style salsa or taco sauce. It is closer to chili paste one can find in many asian restaurants. It is very very tasty

[Schema Thing]

11. good stuff

for a "Louisiana style" hot sauce, I really love the flavor of Schlotzkys'.


and there is a great little chinese food place around the corner that makes the absolute best chili sauce in the world. Yes, I've tried them all; this is best.

[MilesColtrane]

14. The stuff that comes out of my Cuisinart is better than anything sold in a bottle.

[Gormy Cuss]

19. That's where most of ours comes from these days too

but Sriracha is really good stuff, as is Cholula.

[Redstone]

15. I'll be dog; Mrs R loves that stuff, too. Although she's such a "heat freak" that she

generally goes for the large bottle of Thai "chili paste" (the stuff that's pretty much red-pepper flakes and gunpowder dissolved in battery acid and vinegar) that we always have in the refrigerator.

It's always a riot to see her in a Mexican restaurant; you'll see the "manly men" at the bar use soem asuce or other that makes them break down and weep, and she can eat the stuff like ketchup.

I don't get it myself, not only because I can't eat hot food, but also because I don't see how anyoe can actually taste the food when they overwhelm it with hot peppers.

16. Yes, The Rooster Sauce may not be everyone's favorite

But for versitility and over all flavor I agree it's the best. It will always have a home in my refridgerator.

[MsTryska]

17. sriracha is good

but I prefer grace Scotch bonnet or picante sauce.

Both have that vinegary hot souce flavor i like from Franks and texas petes, but with the fruitiness and heat of habaneros. yum.

[Greyskye]

20. That's good, and I use it a lot...

...but this is my favorite if you need pure heat:



Also good for stripping waxed floors and removing driveway oil stains. (It says so right on the label! :evilgrin:) A couple drops of this in a big pot of homemade clam chowder is pure heaven!
