Hot Soss

[Krow]

I eat a lot of spicy shit because I've worked in dusty areas for quite a few years and I feel like I can't taste most stuff.

I don't like hot sauce with a strong vinegary presence so Franks is fairly vile to me.

My go-tos are Tapatio and Sriracha but mostly I used chili sauce or chili oil... or peppers from my garden. Everyone seems to love the red paper lantern peppers I grew last year. Great flavor and absolutely insane yield from the amount of plants I grew. I made some pepper jelly out of the chocolate habaneros I grew last year that turned out great. Really fucking good with cream cheese and crackers, brutal inferno without.

Edit: Cholula is good too. El Yucateco is okay but the taste of habanero hot sauces tend to be lacking. It's served in like every Mexican restaurant around here but I'd rather ask them for the "spicy sauce from the kitchen" is that a thing in other Mexican places? Some Mexican guys I work with told me to do that when I go out to eat. Way better than bottled sauces.


Also, this stuff right here is awesome. It's pretty atypical for hot sauce and only comes in tiny bottles though. I end up using 1/3 of the bottle for one meal.

Tapatio

My former roommate was all about this. It's pretty good.

Sriracha is way too thick to even be considered a proper "hot sauce" imo.

I like the flavor of tapatio ok but I stay away from any sauce with sodium benzoate in it, since it's been said to cause cancer. Unfortunately many hot sauces use that as a preservative. Usually the vinegar based ones like Louisiana and red rooster don't need preservatives. Also cholula doesn't have benzoate either.

Everything causes cancer

The funny thing is hot peppers are supposed to help prevent certain types of cancer

Also red wine, blueberries,....

Sriracha on my eggs everyday
Guy I work with makes his own. Buying a bottle of his habenero sauce tomorrow. Called Werewolf Blood.
Also makes a jalapeño sauce called Swampjuice
Makes a cool one with basil and oregano, great in spaghetti or on pizza

My 2 of choice are Texas Pete for general use and Grace Food's Scotch Bonnet sauce when I want hotter. Not so big a fan of Sriracha as its not very hot but still overpowering.

I was introduced to homemade chilli oil on pizza when I was in Europe, most pizzerias had it either out at the table or available if you asked for it. Fucking great stuff. My wife is in the process of making some.


Tapatio is the one that's most commonly in restaurants over here, I don't mind it but it's pretty meh. Much prefer El Yucateco for 'common' sauce. Not all of theirs are Habanero either. Have you tried the black?

I'm interested to know if you guys use Sriracha on anything besides breakfast?

Found this in my garden today:

One of the nice things about living in SoCal.

I only use it on chinese food, doesn't taste right on anything else imo

I should make a heavy metal themed hot sauce brand.

I used it a couple times as a marinade of sorts for chorizo and it turned out pretty stellar. I really recommend it for mexican fusion-esque dishes

Guess that's true, this korean-mexican fusion place nearby uses it and it's pretty delicious. They have like a short rib fries instead of mexican carne asada fries, with sriracha on them

Not metal per se, but Bad Brain's brand is p. deez

Called Werewolf Blood.

Best fucking name ever.

I like HP Fruity.

I use Chili Sesame Oil from the Asian market on my rice, under my Chinese food.

It bothers me that the chinese seemingly eat nothing spicy and its the only option for asian food in WV.

I occasionally share food with the Lao guys at work. Their food is usually a combination of nuclear heat, garlic, fish sauce, and cilantro. A sauce one of the guy's mom sent him is one of the hottest things I've ever consumed in my life. My face went numb. First time I've ever had that happen. They also caught me off guard with papaya salad, which will pretty much kill you if you think papaya salad is meant to be sweet.

It's not really fun for them any more now that they realize I can handle the heat.
