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

[Certaindeaf]

I've got a big jar of Mt Olive pickle juice (ate the pickles) in the fridge.. I decided this morning I'm gonna fill it back up with serranos, sliced onions and carrots.. hey, some people guzzle the juice so I can't be hurting anything.

I have always loved (some times too much) that Tapatio. Stuff is on the warm side but I love the flavor too. Some times I get a little too carried away with it and pay for a while.

And for those culinary designers here,... AKA "cooks prone to experimentation," if you like the spicy, you gotta give this stuff a try:



Use it anywhere you would use chili powder, but be warned, its got a smokey kick that out powers chili powder by a lot!
Taco meat, Burrito filling, or Carne Asada seasoning sings with this stuff in it.

If you like hot stuff, you should try the hell burger at Big T's diner in Stevenson, Wa. nuf said.....

I bought two(2) 23-ounce bottles of Frank's Red Hot at WalMart yesterday. At $4.88 a bottle, Frank's makes the flaccid Nalley's Chili I buy taste much better.

Flaccid chilli? Sounds rather soft...

Im with it, burn me. Sometimes I can go for the hottest hot you got. I found a Taco trunk at the Semi-truck wash just off I5 at the Donald/Aurora exit, they have the perfect hot sauce on their taco for me. Its consumable but you sweat and sometimes it can burn on the way out. If you talking bento in Portland, No body beats Du's on Sandy & 52nd (I think its 52) their teriyaki sause is killer and they sell bottles, and the salad dressing they make is the best dressing I have ever had at a bento shop.

One drop of Ghost pepper hot sauce is enough for me.... That Habanero stuff is like candy after you try the ghost...

What ghost pepper hot sauce? Dave's? Cause that's like caprisun once you tried flashbang.

 

[bsa1917hunter]

I'll have to give flashbang a try then...

 

[Boboclown]

Just a fair warning, its hotter than the current hottest pepper (carolina reaper).

 

[WAYNO]

I love hot sauce, but I don't like pain.

So...Tabasco, Sriracha, Texas Pete's, Frank's...Any of these beginner sauces work well for me. And I do use a lot.

WAYNO.

Maybe I'll just stick with Daves gourmet ghost pepper sauce then. I don't have a death wish!!!!! I just looked at the bottle in the fridge and my lips started burning...

My internal plumbing is not set up for that kind of stuff anymore. I did a cajun period back in the day. Never have been a hot sauce fan. My boys used a LOT of it on MRE's when they were forward deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between that and the stress of being shot at all the time, 2 of them had major acid reflux issues for about 3 years after coming back.

Some of those MREs NEEDED hot sauce. The cheese and veggie omelet (those were not eggs ) comes to mind.

 

[CoastRange57]

Yeah, they said that was the only way they were edible, and I agree with them.

 

[Diamondback]

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.

Qdoba or Taco Del Mar Salsa Verde are quite enough for me, thanks. I don't like that feeling of being buttraped with a blowtorch from the inside out...

 

[JedB]

Try the bento at uptown meat market on 23rd
It's better

We will have to agree to disagree.
I've had both, and I prefer Big Dan's. I liked Big Dan's better when he was kitty corner from Uptown Meat. The new location on Thurman doesn't have quite the same flair.

If you want a good spicy drink, I would reccommend the Serrano Lime Drop at NUestra Cocina on SE Division @ 20th-ish. Their Habanero Lime drop is also good.

Anyone made/infused their own vodka?
