El Yucateco Mayan Recipe

BOMBA CALABRESE. Sorry, I can't say it in lowercase. It's just crushed peperoncini and oil. Yummmmm I put it on pizza, in soup, curry, stew, I dip my cheeses and fingers in it.

Cholula for eggs but it's hard to find around here.

I'll be on the lookout for Valentina as it's been brought up often in this thread.

Depends what I'm using it on.

Mambo Sauce and buffalo wing sauce for chicken.

Tabasco for eggs.

Tobasco or a mild cherry hot sauce

Cholula garlic, Valentina, Melinda's habenero garlic and various yellow bird.

My own. I lacto ferment peppers with (and or) garlic, sjalots, ginger, veg, fruit, paprika, herbs, spices. It is easy to make.

I haven't tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I'm eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy's when I can get them.

Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don't want to go into battle mode. Frank's come close. Surprised that I'm the only one mentioning Crystal.

Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren't looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's, etc.

Trappey's Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.

sambal djeroek

Funky Monkey Banana Rum hot sauce. Cant find it anymore

Queens Majest Ginger and Scotch Bonnet is fantastic

Cholula Chipotle is my go to standard since its available broadly

Franks has no equal.

In the Netherlands I use adjuma pepper instead of habanero and mix sweet orange juice + lime as the sour orange replacement.

A nice beef gravy. Delicious.

Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.

Nando's Peri Peri sauce.

Tapatio for me.

Gringo Bandito. It's a flavorful medium-heat hot sauce.

That depends. For pizza and Asian cuisine, Sriracha. Special shout-out to Underwood Ranch specifically, because that shit is top tier. For everything else, chipotle Tabasco. When that goes on sale, I buy a few bottles because I know I'll go through it lol.

Professor Phardtpounder’s Colon Cleaner.

Aardvark Habanero and Renfro's Habanero Salsa. I just really like habanero, okay?

-Homemade garlic cayenne hot sauce.

-Frank's Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.

-Cholula for Mexican food.

Blair's Death.

Really liked one of their XB series.

Valentina. Not very hot, but I like it and use it like ketchup.

Valentina regular or black label

Chipotle tabasco

Yellowbird Habanero Sauce, Tapatío, Valentina, Sriracha.

Jethro's Naga Fire or Lord Reaper.

Current favorite is Cosmic Disco by Karma Sauce. It's blazing hot with some great Asian accents that make it perfect for most of what I cook at home.

Torchbearer Garlic Reaper Sauce. Well, before alcohol, hot sauce, and pain meds fucked my stomach up. Be careful kids

my favorite used to be a sauce named "amor" that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.

it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank's hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.

the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i've been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.

Marie Sharp's

Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That's how perfect it is.
