I don't like hotsauce but I keep a bottle of that around because of the cute boy on the label

I like Tapatio when I get breakfast burritos, because that is the one the place I go to has

>>22049142
For what meal? Fucking hell OP. You gotta be specific. Thats like saying "what is the best vegetable?". It fucking depends you goddamn trog.

>>22049160

>>22049142
el yucateco black
texas pete hotter
melinda's habanero hot mustard
truff habanero

There is no best. It's subjective like all opinions.

I prefer Tabasco and Lola's.

>>22049142
None. I'm not poor and I'm not a hipster soy boy.

>>22049142
idk but it's not that one

>>22049142
Cholula used to be good 20+ years ago when they had to time to age it before bottling.

>>22049264
why would they have less time now? tabasco sells way more than they do and they still find time to age their mash.

>>22049267
Tabasco has always been so much vinegary ass so it's irrelevant how much time they age it.

>>22049268
nothing outs a baby palate like not being able to appreciate tabasco

These three are, generally, all I need. Plus sriracha for Asian stuff and Crystal for fried chicken.

Right here. I use others for specific things but Valentina's is the #1.
Tabasco is only good on breakfast foods and in chili. 100% of the people who argue that it's good on anything else are homosexuals, this has been proven time and time again.

>>22049142
crystal.

>>22049142
All the ones I've liked the best have been relatively locally made stuff. Mass market stuff is almost always going to be worse.

Generally whatever is the least vinegary is best.

Really been into the Skyline one lately although its distribution is shit

>>22049142
best all purpose hot sauce is franks don't bother replying

>>22049602
valentina but use 1/8th of the bottle then pour in a slurry of ground up arbol chiles and white vinegar and shake it up to make hot valentina.

>>22049168
don't get yucateco black if you don't like full on ashtray tasting burnt peppers

I tried it for the first time recently and to me it just came off as tapito but more sweet/mild than I'd like.

I think the best commercial hot sauce is something habanero-based. It's such a great flavor.

(Pic)
Left was my favorite but it has been discontinued. Middle is the second best but too expensive. Right is my current go-to, good on everything.

I'm now fermenting my own habaneros (store bought) to turn into hot sauce, and growing my own to hopefully make a tasty sauce with in a few months.

>>22049142
for an everything hot sauce it has to be franks; cholula for mexican food only. I really like the flavor melindas black truffle but it doesn’t pair well with a lot of things, I like it on cheese and crackers. if you want heat I’d go with habaneros mixed with a few scorpion peppers; anything more than that and you don’t get the floral and citrusy notes from the peppers. you can also avoid any store bought causes at that level because they’re ass.

>>22050701
my tip after making 100 gallons of hot sauce over 5 years is ferment your peppers and onions together, but roast and puree your garlic, fruits, and vegetables separately and add them at the end. 10 days is plenty for max flavor fermentation, the microbes don’t need to physically break the peppers

>>22050705
I'll take that advice to heart. Thanks

dude

>>22050716
np I hope you enjoy the process and it goes well. you can ferment your flavors and add ins with the peppers and onions but they lose a lot of their flavor and if you need to stir and take care of the fermenting crock it just adds unnecessary mass to deal with

>>22049160
Pick your favorite meal that you use hot sauce for and tell us what that hot is for that meal, you intentionally obtuse retard.

>>22050380
>>22049602
Try the black label version. The kick is great.

Dumb ESL

>>22051302
never tried it, what's with the blue sauce? I hate shrimp

>>22051252
>>22051302
I'll try these, thank you anons

>>22051343
unless you like "very" hot to taste ratio the black one is overpowering, I like the normal one better

Not a fan of these hispanic style hot sauces. The Chili pepper profile just tastes 'flat' and one dimensional to me. Much prefer the caribbean hot sauces which instead use habanero / scotch bonnet peppers, they have a fruitier and more playful profile. The more complex and subtle notes meld and interact with food in such a way that they accompany it better rather than simply being "food + hot sauce" tasting.. its hard to describe

>>22051356
Yeah you seem like a fruity and playful kind of guy

>>22051356
valentina has a lot of flavor though, that's its forte

>>22051356
>fruity and playful profile
You know what they say

>>22051350
Its fine. Its like 2100 SHU. Tabasco is like 5000 and Tabasco isn't even hot

>>22050446
>>22051260
Marie Sharp's really is the undisputed best. I don't even bother looking for new sauces when Marie's is cheap and available everywhere.

i mix texas pete and medlina's ghost pepper,

>>22051350
wut, it's not even as hot as louisiana hot sauces. You have to fortify any kind of Valentina to make it hot.

>>22051356
They all just have ground dried arbols in them which have not much taste in themselves. Otherwise it's vinegar + garlic/onion/cumin/oregano like everything in Mexico

Tapatio

>>22049142
El Yucateco XXXTra Hot Chile Habanero
I put that shit on eeeeeeeeeeverything.

>>22049602
Regular Valentina like that has zero heat for me. The supposedly "extra hot" stuff is a bit better but I wouldn't even call it medium hot

>>22049142
I like the Ancho Anus Annihilator, Habanero High Colonic too

>>22052308
ancho is not a hot pepper

green hot sauce mogs im afraid

>>22049142

for me, as an intellectual with impeccable and correct taste, its Valentina Black

>>22051914
regular valentina is slightly hot and has a lot of flavor. black valentina is hotter than it is flavorful, that's it

Taco bell unironically. Tastes like actual sauce instead of chemically flavored vinegar like most store bought hot sauces.

>>22054325
>Tastes like actual sauce
it tastes like taco bell sauce

>>22054325
Only up to Fire

Diablo reached the chem flavor territory

>>22054325
haven't tried diablo but fire sauce is basically just ketchup

>>22049142
Anything habanero. The flavor is the best
Makes a good sauce with mayo for sandwiches

the Hot Ones classic sauce is dogshit.

>>22049160
>It fucking depends
no it doesn't.
it's either onion or potato

>>22054367
mild sauce also started tasting chemically to me in the last couple years. I pretty much only eat hot now, throw a fire in every once in a blue moon

>>22054513
Tomato makes a better base for sauce than vinegar

>>22055499
I definitely agree but I was talking about the heat level

>>22049142
i tried this and it was delicious
but then i found out that it has xanthan gum, so its disgusting slop and ill stick to tabasco

>>22055582
>ill stick to tabasco
lulz

>>22055588
at least its real food

>>22050420
Tabasco has better packaging design, but yeah Crystal is better from a flavor standpoint. It’s so good

Valentina, accept nothing less
