Favorite Hot Sauce

[Mr Deeds]

I love hot sauce on my food I have experimented with all kinds, I use it in cooking, marinades and strait on all kinds of food. I like a sauce that strikes a balance of both flavor and heat, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the hottest I like about a seven. Some of my favorites arei (in no particular order) Caolula,Siracha, Barabsian yellow pepper sauce. So Id like to know, whats your favorite hot sauce

I'm a big Siracha fan, more than enough heat for me. And great flavour.

My local makes their own scotch bonnet sauce named AK47, they sell it in jars to take home and I think it would be hard for a store bought hot sauce to compete with something restaurant-made like this. I prefer hot sauces that are oil based as opposed to vinegar based-the flavour and heat is just so different with oil ones. Although I do like Cholula.

I was having dim sum in Chinatown last year, they gave us same red hot sauce that was sort of like a Siracha hot sauce except it was much better. I asked the waiter about it. He told me that I could get it in jars at the Chinese grocery store. I bought a jar along with some Lee Kum Kee Sirach mayonnaise

Siracha is great but lately I've been all about the Lone Star hot sauce. I think its just Red Hot with chipotle but I don't care, that shit is incredible

 

[Chloë.]

Franks. I put that s*** on everything.

K not everything but I also love that hot sauce in the packets you get at Chinese food restaurants. Wings? I think that's what is written on the front of every packet in red?
Been trying to figure out where to buy it. It's sweeter than Sriracha but still maintains the heat.

El Yucateco XXXtra Hot Kutbil-ik Mayan Style Habanero Hot Sauce

Brownish-green, it's smoky/earthy with a vegetable-type flavour. Not just salt and vinegar, it's also pretty thick, not watery. Pretty hot, too (habaneros - yeah!). Use sparingly in drops. The heat really builds up and you can feel it in your stomach - you don't just feel it on your lips and mouth.

It's pretty hard to find though. Walmart often stocks it (?!?), as do a couple of Latin stores in Kensington Market. I've seen it at a couple of restaurants (La Bella Managua on Bloor) and at an Empanada place on The Queensway.

You can always call Sriracha "Rooster sauce" and avoid the difficult spelling. But spell it any way you want - that stuff's the shit! Yum!

 

[Coors]

Highly recommended and found in most supermarkets.

Goh-chu-jang, aka "Korean ketchup".

I am not trying to toot my own horn but I am a hot sauce expert of sorts. I prefer all natural hot sauces that are craft made. I know where to get the really good stuff lol. Most of the stuff you buy in the grocery store or from hot sauce places is concentrates and fillers and are more of a novelty than an every day sauce.

Nope. The locally-sourced organic quirkily-named absurdly overpriced "craft made" sauces you are touting are the novelty, silly. The workaday shit like Sirac... Srirarchy... Sirarc...Rooster sauce and Cholula are the everyday sauces. Assuming that by "everyday" you mean the shit people actually use and not the shit they need to take out a second mortgage in order to buy and that they put prominently on display to impress their friends. Frikking yuppies. Yeesh.
