step it up and get some crystal.

I have no room to talk though. All I have currently is a giant bottle of cock sauce. I've been using a lot of fresh chilies in my cooking lately so I don't really use as much sauce as usual.

>>4672874
I never tried that hot sauce yet, I'll be sure to get some if I stumble upon it.

Glad to see there is no Tabassco in OP's pic

It's pretty much the same as Louisiana actually. Very similar in taste and heat. And they're both Louisianan hot sauces

>>4672924
>Louisianan hot sauces
So's Tabasco, for that matter.

>>4672941
Yeah it's made off an island off of Louisiana, but I don't consider it to be. Plus they use Tabasco peppers, not cayenne which is what Louisiana hot sauce is known for, I think (could be wrong).

>>4672975
Right, they also use far too much vinegar. Louisiana/Crystal > Tabasco

>>4672924
Eh, if it's basically the same I won't bother.

>>4672915
I never really liked Tabasco; The texture and taste don't appeal much to me. I haven't had it in a while either.

>>4672988
It's similar, but there is a difference. Try it, a bottle is what, less than $2 bucks?

Delicious

Any chipotle sauces available in the UK? I love that smokey sweetness in sauces. I want to add it to baked beans and reach Heaven.

Is there any good fruity habanero sauces, too?

>>4673028
Make your own

See
>>4672915

>>4673028
If you can't be arsed to make your own i think Heinz do a chipotle in their hot sauce range, also cholupa and tabasco.

>>4672868

Valentina is ok, too vinegary for my likes.

Red Hot is best, but getting the wing sauce is only ok. Actual Red Hot is unbeatable.

my Louisiana hot sauce loving nigga!

my problem with tobasco is that its hot but it has no flavor.

>>4673028

I've made this one, and it's pretty wicked.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bobs-habanero-hot-sauce---liquid-fire/

>>4673386

I should have said more than that. It's fruity and sweet, due to the canned peaches, but salty and really hot, due to the, well, salt, and hot peppers.

It's awesome, but if you're making a batch, maybe take it easy on the cumin. I love cumin as much as the next guy, but it's a bit heavy on the cumin.

>>4672874
Except that crystal is shit-tier sauce anon

In my cupboard

I just moved into my apartment a couple weeks ago, so my hot sauce stash isn't that bug yet; however, I have Valentino's, Sriracha, and Dave's Insanity Sauce in my posession.

I got some bottled ones too I thinks

Brother!

>it is only a googled image

Meh. I rescind borthership.

>>4672868
>louisiana

It costs £0.70 in England. I have bought it once a month until it's sell by date for £0.10. Not popular here.

>>4673535
Shit it thought that was one of my pics... Lol in guess ill make one later today or tomorrow

>hot sauce
>not just snacking on naga jolokias

>>4673545
This is why I thought that pic was mine, I guess my bro saved it from FB

>>4673545
Looking forward to it. I need to reseason my molcajete.

Molcajete guys, any tips to making salsa in one? I made some today, and not happy with how the tomato skin was crushed in it.

>>4673642
Some people peel their tomatoes so they don't have the skins sthroughout the salsa. I don't realy mind

>>4673686
meh but to do that easily you gotta blanch the skins. Not worth it imho

>>4673710
They come off almost entirely while your tomatoes are being roasted or boiled. You're not making salsa with raw tomatoes are you?

>>4673782
I do, yes, I love the bright taste they have.

inb4, no cap on the hottest one. I'm using aluminum foil, but I didn't want it to show up in the picture. Also out of Louisiana.

>>4673832
I don't like the texture of raw tomatoes, and they make my stomach hurt, but I see your point

>>4673918
I think roasting them would improve my salsa however. I've been missing something from it, and I guess it's really that. Perhaps I'll do like 25% raw, 75% roasted.

A personal favorite of mine.

If you turds aren't privileged enough to be within driving distance of a Skyline, I pity you. Skyline hot sauce is by far the best hot sauce ever.

>it's spicy and will kick your ass if you let it
>not super pasty
>three peppers and vinegar is p much the recipe so it's super tasty

>>4673884
I have that scorpion chile sauce yo, shit's hot. Not the best flavor tho

Tabasco is still the best generic hot sauce. Well-aged, moderately vinegary, with minimum salt and no shit added. Tabasco Habanero is delicious as well!

anyone here try texas pete's?

I recently got a bottle and it tasted like shit

I'm trying to get a feel for what you faggots define as a good hot sauce

>>4674062
No. It's terrible. It's too vinegary.

>>4674215
That's your opinion. I share it, but he may not. Remember making this board better starts with you.

>>4674198
Texas Pete's is shit and its not made in Texas. They do it in Carolina or some shit. As for a good sauce that every store sells, El Yucateco, some varieties of Tabasco, (red, habanero), Cholula, Daves Insanity is good for a super-hot. Hot sauce is sort of localized and like craft beer though. I could name several dozen that are far better than those I just mentioned, but if you don't live in my state or even in my city you'd never see them. Also no hot sauce is good on everything. Each has its use, and its use is highly subjective. Frank'sFags, go suck on it. It is not good on everything. IMO it is actually very low on the rungs and is to be used on shitty Little Caesars pizza, and even then there are sauces that I'd rather put on shitty pizza. Tabasco habanero comes to mind.

>>4674227
Among hot sauce enthusiasts, tabasco is entry tier.

>>4674274
Enthusiasts are generally faggots. You either like something or don't.

Melinda's line of sauces is tasty and overall awesome!

Texas Pete and other poofter's crap like stop and shop brand sauce suck arse. Tabasco is fine, hot enough and classy.

>>4674237
thanks

I use franks on frozen pizza and on wings and I can't really find anything else to try besides that or an handful of random ones that look like they've been sitting on the shelf too long

I don't want anything overly spicy either that will just mask the flavor of my food

>>4674294
No, if you actually were friends of enthusiasts of anything, they're often really nice people.

That being said, people who do nothing but post online about shit are usually spergs.

Still, Tabasco is baby's first hot sauce because it is everywhere. Defending it makes you look... insecure about what you obviously use on a daily basis.

Cholula isn't hot, yet vinegary and pricey.
Mad Dog is way to hot to taste. Shit for kids.
Cock sauce sucks cock. Too industrial.
Once again: regular Tabasco is good as a normal, table, everyday, inexpensive sauce.

>>4674363
Cholula is significantly less vinegary than tabassco.

>>4674363
>Cock sauce sucks cock.
all it tastes like is a hand full of fucking garlic

I'd rather have texas pete's than sirracha

I've noticed that almost every bottle says to store in the fridge once opened, but I figured leaving them out concentrates the flavors and the sauce sometimes ferments a little in a good way.

Do you guys refrigerate?

>>4674381
I've never seen the refrigerate warning but I always do

>>4674381
My boyfriend prefers to refrigerate hot sauce, I don't personally care.

Sorry for late responses, interesting hot sauce collection and hot sauce recipes.

I've tried Cholula, but I.. I think it's bland... Or maybe the one I tried (at a mexican joint... oh the contamination!!) was just weird. I've bought something similar before; GOYA salsita habanero hot sauce. It was really fucking good, but I can never find it any where.

Also, do you guys just buy random hot sauce that look appealing, or just random? Some of you posted some hot sauces that have a neat label on it.

>>4674483
I forgot to add that I really enjoyed El Pato hot sauce (red hot sauce and the green one), but I haven't had it ever since I moved out of my parent's place.

>>4674359
>Tabasco is baby's first hot sauce because it is everywhere

I won't butt heads with you here, this is true. Tabasco is actually a quality sauce though, in comparison to other Dollar General tier sauces that can be bought anywhere. Tabasco isn't near the greatest, and you can find that shit anywhere. But for a hot sauce you can get anywhere it is probably the best. It has a distinct flavor and enhances a lot of shit, red Tabasco is decent. I usually buy my hot sauces from places other than Wal Mart so I have a stash of shit better than Tabasco, but for a condiment stocked at most restaurants its pretty good.

And I'm not insecure about shit, I have no pride. I'm just stating facts here.

>>4674519

I think we agree on all points, but I don't think it's even worth using as a hot sauce. It's mostly vinegar.

>>4672915
>hating on Tabasco sauce
>>4672868
Where's the Sriracha sauce, OP?

>hating on tabasco sauce

yeah, nah, you're a hipster douche

>>4674546

yeah because hating on they lowest common denominator meant to appeal to everyone via being bland is hipster.

Idiot.

>Hot sauce hipsters

The fuck?

>>4674567
>getting so mad at a hot sauce that never did anything to you
Yea, it's obvious you're angry because other people like it and it's "mainstream". The guy was right to call you a hot sauce hipster.

>>4674529
Yes, it is almost straight vinegar. Delicious, spicy, oak barrel aged vinegar. And I use it as I would use a vinegar. It is very different than other Louisiana hot sauces. I like it though and have come to terms with the fact that it does actually have it's uses. People hate on it because its everywhere, but it has its purpose and it isn't complete shit. Tabasco is distinct. Whereas Crystal, Franks, Texas Pete, Louisiana, Trappey's, Great Value, etc etc etc are all basically the same fucking thing. Correct me if I am wrong. But there is Louisiana style hot sauce, which consists of all those ones I just typed. And there is Tabasco, which isn't really like any of those ones I just typed.

>>4674215
>>4674237
texas pete is meant for barbecue, its great on pulled pork sandwiches

>>4674597
Why do you think I'm mad?

>>4674656
You're either mad or 12. Either way, you're a hot sauce hipster.

>>4674676
I've already proven that wrong. Stating that the most commonly available, lowest common denominator, blandest hot sauce is bad isn't hipster.

So you're saying that hating on some top 40 song for being shit is hipster now as well?

Good to know.

Don't have pics, but I add some squirts of this to my poached eggs daily. Also re fried beans with scrambled eggs in flour tortillas taste great, little something I learned in Monterrey, MX.

>>4674709
Now, that was breakfast sauce, this is for lunch/dinner. Mexican wife really changes you.

Got sirachha, matouk's picante sauce(hot ass shit), and a hot sauce collection

Pretty good spread I think.

A side note, while regular tabasco isn't all that good, tabsco chipotle is really really good.

>>4673020
agreed

>>4672868
stop, all of you

>basic tabasco, as shitty and penny-flavored as always
>chipotle tabasco that I stole from chipotle
>extremely shitty not-hot cheap mexican hot sauce called tamarazula, got the bottle for $1
>hipster ketchup in the fridge for stir fry

used to have a bottle of cholula stolen from Qdoba, that shit was delicious but it disappeared fast

that's pretty much it, I usually rely on spices for heat

>>4674537
I have srirarcha in the fridge.

>>4674710
>>4674709
These look really good!

>>4674740
Nice!

I want to see more hot sauce stashes!

>>4674890

Love is over for sriracha. It's really just not very good.

>>4674890
>>4672868
sriracha is gross. franks is really all you need. its got a kick but at least you can taste the fruity tanginess of the peppers and vinegar

Only

Posted this pic a long time ago. Nothing has changed though.

I have 3 chilli sauces currently, and ran empty on Yucateco and Tobasco.

>>4676850
My most recent purchase, lots of sugar but its got a nice sweet kick with not too much garlic.
