I like hot sauce but not hot just for sake of hot. Not into burn for burn. so today at a tiki bar i tried new. LJ Brachiosaurus Bomb Sauce and honestly it was good, nice smoky flavor, hot but not super burn hot.
most hot sauce are just lets see if we can knock your dork in the the dirt hot.
This was hot and flavorful.
Got anything like that?
 
For the last few years, we have been making our own. Grow just enough of the really hot peppers and some not so hat and mix them. Well, dry them, powder them then mix them and put in a cider vinegar and white vinegar. Boil until well mixed. Wife also makes a picante sauce that beats anything out there.

I have a crap ton of Ghost Peppers (Buht Jalokia) that are dried, if you want some. Gring them up (at someone elses house) and mix with mayo or other things for a zippy sandwich or dipping sauce. I also froze a bunch for "other" things.

This year it's habanero peppers and I just found some Carolina Reapers
 
Melindas habanero sauce, either the XXX or XXXX versions.

Will make something as hot as you care to, yet still able to taste the food.


ON THE OTHER HAND: Stay away from "Dumb Ass" Hot sauce. My kids bought me some years ago and I was dumb enough to try it. ONCE. Might as well have swallowed flaming kerosene.:eek: Pain was all that was tasted!!
 
I've been making my own salsa for the past 35 plus years, no store bought stuff for me.
I also started making a Tabasco type sauce with jalapeños a few years ago.
That one takes a pressure canner to make. I grew Tabasco peppers last year, and made actual Tabasco in the pressure canner, it was so hot I couldn't eat it.

I hear ads for Melinda 10 pack, small bottles take with you in 10 different flavors, cant find Melindas in any of the 5 chain grocery stores by me.
 
I had a buddy, poor soul passed on, could eat the hottest sauces imaginable. Stuff not fit for human consumption. Never showed any signs of pain. One time the owner of the bar said, I’m gonna make him hurt wings.
He told her after eating 10 “is that the best you can do”. She couldn’t believe it.
Man had an iron lined mouth.

That is funny. Our Tabasco peppers got really big and didn't produce that many peppers. They were very mild too. Out of 12 plants, we harvested about 2 lbs of peppers. Small too as in they never got longer than 1/2".

I brought home for dinner from bar a really huge grilled chicken breast on Brioche roll, they do a really big one, added Tomato and raw onions, and topped off with a few shakes of this. Normally I dont like Tabasco, has a weird taste, but this was really good, smoky. Still feeling it, but very edible, give it a try, just not too much.

Will look for that. I keep a bag of frozen shrimp in freezer. Will give that a try. and like you, I am a Franks guy, Buffalo wing sauce on wings, original on everthing else ( i put that sht on everything) but was looking for something different and like the Tabasco/Chipolte, want to try Melinda but cant find in my area.
 
My SIL loves hot sauces. When I travel, if I see a special hot sauce I will buy it for him. Several years ago my mother stayed with my daughter and SIL after recovering from a number of surgeries after a car accident. MY SIL would make these dishes and have different hot sauces on the table. Everyone would use them sparingly but Mom would pour them on like it was ketchup... and never break a sweat!
 
I really like my hot sauce hot. My favourite is one a buddy made himself after growing the “top 5” hottest peppers in the world. I can’t remember all of them but it included Carolina Reaper, Ghost, Scorpion, and two others. It’s really hot and flavourful. He hasn’t made it in a while and I am almost out of it. There is a really good Trinidad Roti shop in my town (Kori’s Roti) that sells their hot sauce separately. It’s mostly habanero based and is super good. Hot enough to get your eyelids sweating, but not to make you sick.

I really hate those ones made from capsicum oil (bear spray) and not real peppers. Sure they are crazy hot, but useless as flavouring.
 
I tried Cholula. Was really hoping to like it because its very popular but it had a weird taste just like tabasco. So I’m still hunting.
I like the wood bottle top, I converted the bottle into a bore cleaner bottle in my range bag.
 
Sailed the Grenadines in 2015. Chef had this on the table. I put that sh@$ on everything! May still be able to get it at Amazon

I like the El Yucateco sauces, especially the smoked habanero black label version when I can find it.
 
Try "Inferno's Embrace" hot sauce, a true culinary delight! Bursting with fiery flavor and carefully crafted using a blend of hand-picked peppers from around the world, this hot sauce is a game-changer.
