TheX Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Got a new sauce today, and had to share. Golden Habanero, and Yuzu citrus. This is NOT a turbo hot sauce, very nice for a lot of applications. I have probably 50 sauces right now, and some pods. What are your favorites? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notyal Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Love this thread! I got a bunch. First one, if you like the BS rooster sriracha, stop what you are doing and go buy this. Fix Sriracha. It's not quite as spicy as the rooster sauce, but soooo much more depth of flavor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 not terribly spicy, but Trader Joes has this creamy jalapeño sauce that is pretty good on tacos and stuff. worth a try. smooth with a kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) My favorite is one I made a few years ago. I got a ghost pepper plant and habanero plants from my late mother in law. Had a huge harvest one year and made it into bottled sauce. I had to wear full respirator, goggles, and gloves and blend it in the garage but it was awesome. Ghost peppers have a lot of flavor not just heat. One of my favorite commercial ones is El Yucateco green. When I want pure heat with no flavor (so as to heat up a mild sauce or salsa) Lousiana Habanero sauce will do it. Currently I also have 3 Cholulas. I like the lime, but the sweet habanero not so much. Of course the classic is good. Bought the chipotle but have not tried it. La Valentina for pouring over popcorn or chips. Sriracha is a staple.

skinned elbows Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Good topic...I like El yucateco chili habenero. Local brands yellowbirds of all flavors are good and gtown has a hot sauce shop on the square and one of the house sauces Mikey V's sam sauce is a tomatillo base with mix of different peppers...I likey me some good tomatillo sauces. He used to have out samples all the time.. that was fun Sent from my SM-A115AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Yucateca's XXX and Black Label Reserve are both good. I have a bottle of Texified Sriracha that is tasty though NOT spicy. Torchbearer's Garlic Reaper is a must for dribbling onto pizza. Just bought Heatonist's Los Calientes red and green labels (think red label is supposed to have a bit more habanero) that are a bit "meh." Also have a bottle of Last Dab XXX. Spice I use the most though, and it's not a sauce, is the 4oz bottle of Carolina Reaper flakes from Sonoran Spice. Been through several of those bottles over last several years. Easy to add to anything at all, and I usually do. Encountered a harissa spice blend that was very tasty and bought a bottle of harissa sauce, but it wasn't nearly as good as the dried spices.

Of course - what would a hot sauce thread be without it? At least now we know that the stuff actually does exist. I always thought it was made up.

TheX Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any mixer/modifiers here? I add Dave's Insanity Sauce to weaker sauces if I love the flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's one way to use it. Hated it so much, threw at least 2/3rds of a bottle out. I wouldn't want to contaminate a good sauce by adding Insanity into it. Stuff tasted like licking a battery covered with sulfuric acid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm adding hot sauce to food because the food lacks flavor, not that it lacks pain. This is one of my favorites ever. Good for pizza, burgers, eggs, and other American type foods, and also basically anything edible. Spicy enough to notice, pretty sweet, but it's all really balanced with the earthiness of the truffle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nasty, chemical burn of Insanity is just not my thing. There are other sauces just as hot, and hotter, but that one seems to take pride in it's awful taste. Sort of like Da Bomb (I've had it once, and it was not pleasant, but don't remember actual taste of it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhgg...I've used truffle powder before (still have a small amount left) but I really do not like the taste. It isn't bad, exactly, just one of those acquired things, in my case. And I have no interest in doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good hot sauce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I like fruity sauces lately. I have a Habanero pineapple that was a gift. It's amazing. The blueberry Ghost Pepper combo mentioned above really works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's with ripe (red) serrano peppers, vinegar, and Mexican oregano. That combo is amazing. Maybe it's nostalgia for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
