Hot Sauces - what are you using?

[Buckethead]

After learning the lesson about the incompatibility of Dave's Insanity Sauce and living flesh - again - I got to wondering what else might be out there.

Surely we've got some thermophiles in the group?

In my fridge:

- Dave's Insanity Sauce: A drop about the size of a dime gives a pot of Mac'n'Cheese a nice slow burn. Two of those drops make it an ordeal. Three drops render it inedible.

- Sriracha: The Oatmeal says it better than I can. I go through a couple of bottles a year.

- Assorted delicious Panamanian hot sauces that Carlos sent me in return for a favor. That caribeno sauce goes well on everything shy of french toast or birthday cake.

What are you using?

I use Franks like salt...I put it on everything.

Sriracha is too smokey for everyday use IMO.

Carlos sent me sauces too the Caribeno is good, but I really liked the Habanero.

I wish I could walk into a store locally and buy it.

I mix franks red hot with some pepper and chilly powder sauce..  some times ill thow in 2 types of bbq sauce..   i want to start boiling an assortment of peppers to try and make my own.

I us Franks like salt...I put it on everything.

Oh, yeah. The only real sauce for wings.

Carlos sent me sauces too the Caribeno is good, but I really liked the Habanero,

I like the habanero, but I tend to avoid it just because of the name.

I associate habaneros with things like pepper spray and 2nd-degree chemical burns to the lips, tongue, and face. 

But the caribeno is just as hot and, I think, a little tastier.

When it comes to store bought sauces, I go through about 2 quarts of Texas Pete's, 3 small bottles of Tabasco, one bottle of asian hot sauce. But my wife makes a lot of authentic Thai hot sauces made from Thai chili peppers.

I like the Pico Pica real Mexican hot sauce which is available at Smiths in ABQ.
My favourite is a Hungarian hot sauce called Erös Pista manufactured by Uniber,
which I picked up in Germany...not sure if it is available here.

Chilly powder***  not sauce..

Classify this as boring. I like Paces Hot. It ends up on lots of food. It's standard issue, off the shelf stuff, but I like it.

Chili Garlic Sauce, from the same company that makes Sriracha.

sriracha fan here. I like i because it isnt just spicy ,its got some flavor. I love the chilli garlic sauce too. its got a tang to it and is a bit spicer and its great for meat. noodle soup is regular sriracha and tons of it.

Sriracha...works on roasted and grilled chicken just fine

Once every month or 2, wife and I hit Target and grab 6 bottles or more

[Dannyboy]

Blair's Mega Death and After Death are my faves.  My roommate also made some decent stuff with ghost peppers but it's a bit too smokey for me.

[Speedbag]

Sriracha is about my practical limit. Beyond I don't get much enjoyment.

I use the sriracha as a base for my special wing sauce concoction.

These days in new Orleans, you're more likely to find Crystal hot sauce than even Tabasco in local restaurants. There's a reason for that 
It gives you flavor, not just heat.

My favorite storebought as well.  One year I raised habanero and Thai Dragon peppers and made my own sauce.  My friend, a medical professional, made a label for it that claimed, among other things, that it was "Efficacious for Astistole if administered within 24 hours of onset of symptoms"

It was ridiculously hot - raising habenaros and similar peppers is like raising cobras - what are you going to do with them?  Call me a pansy, but I draw the line at those wrinkled orange nasties.
