Poll: Hot sauce...love it or leave it

[Captain O]

If memory serves, the numbers I saw were Frank's about 450 on the Scoville scale, Tabasco Original about 700.

I have eaten the Habanero sauces as well as others, but flavor is what counts, isn't it? I prefer taste over gastric self-abuse. Don't misunderstand me, I enjoy the hotter sauces but flavor counts. Why do you think I buy the 23 ounce bottles three at a time?

Given that Tabasco is known to be too hot for me, I was thinking that maybe something halfway down the scale from that might be the next "ranging shot"--Arby's sauce or Pace Mild Picante are about my everyday limits.

I'm willing to endure a little pain for flavor (without fail, Mongolian makes me sh*t like a goose) but it's gotta be WORTH it. Man, I wish Chang's hadn't pulled out of the Puget Sound area...

I drench Beef flavored Ramen in Franks Red Hot. Yeah, that slows sown the intestinal tract! (Ramen is a notorious for being a great colon blocker).

Sriracha on my PB&J for a bit of fire and ice.

No wonder people in high school said I was full of sh*t... lol

What jelly goes best with the Siracha?

What jelly goes best with the Siracha?

Why, Strawberry, of course!

 

[2506]

Depends on the cuisine...but Chalula, Tabasco, Franks, El Yucatan, Sriracha, Huy Fong garlic sauce...
Call home and tell the wife to put the TP in the freezer....

Of course. Basic concord grape comes in second.

I can't believe I didn't see this topic... I love hot sauce. Everytime I go to Tennessee I stop by a store to pick up the hottest sauce they got.

Last time I got some flashbang, and it gets used everytime I make chili. With 3.5 million scoville 3 drops every two servings is enough.

Holy crap. That's good to eat? Just heat?

I have a bottle of hot sauce called ".357 Magnum". It comes with a fake .357 bullet that unscrews to reveal a small spoon. I think they a bunch of those bullet/spoons left over from the 80's cocaine era and just re-fashioned it for hot sauce "bumps". It is rated at 650,000 Scovilles, which is hot, but I've had hotter. Looking forward to cracking that one open one of these days.

Both. Just clear the schedule for the rest of your day.

 

[Oregonhunter5]

Hold on. So you enjoy the heat then shiit all day?

 

[Boboclown]

Its a price I'm willing to pay for good chili.

I've been hotting up my morning eggs by adding like a half tsp of Blair's Mega Death to a bottle Valentina picante sauce.
it's about just right.. not too hot at all
That Blair's by itself is just stupid.

Back in 1992 I'd hit hooters a lot. About 100 times in 2 years. I understand it being worth it. Them wings are worth the hot snakes.

Hell no!

Burns in and burns out???

Sounds like Guantanamo torcher to me...

I like savory and sweet. Y'all can keep the heat and compare who's sphincter can handle the most.

Sauce to add to food: TapaTio, Cholula, Tabasco (Red & Green), Siracha, Franks, Aardvark (PDX Made) as well as the Sweet Thai Chili sauce you can buy from Big Dan's bento in NW PDX.

If I'm cooking: Peppers would be: Ground White Pepper, Cayenne Powder, Poblano, Hatch New Mexico Green Chile, Serrano, Jalapeno, Habanero and occasionally some of the thai chilies.

For crockpot stuff, it's Herdez Green, or Pace Red spicy salsa. Sometimes some of the above cooking chilies make it into the mix.

Flavorful, but not overwhelming is the goal for me.
