So delicious and unique flavors. I got 3, and they’re all Phish themed!
Much to my surprise as I’m not a big tomato fan (but then noticed the Calabrian chilies as the main ingredient) , the Italian (6/10 heat) is my favorite of these 3, and I’m almost 1/4 through the bottle! The jalapeño ginger (labeled 6/10 heat) is so unique and citrusy, and the split open and heat (8/10 heat) brings that extra spice, but mellows out and brings more uniqueness and balance with the turmeric. I had a fun Mother’s Day taste testing session with the parents over grilled shrimp kabobs, and it was cool to see everyone’s individual reactions and preferences. None were too spicy, but great.
All incredible and I’m excited to buy more
Decided to experiment with some peppers I got last night. Scotch bonnets, goat horns, a few habaneros. After making a salsa and prepping a blend for my hot sauce idea, I decided to smoke a bowl and climb on top of my wife before bed.
So my hands are doing what grown up hands do, and I'm rubbing that spot all of us men spent our younger years unable to find. Not even 1 minute into it, she shoots up and runs into the bathroom. She has the shower head blasting on her lady bits and shes almost in tears. Turns out, even though I washed my hands thoroughly after my pepper prep, the capsaicin didn't completely come off.
Apparently it was on her nips too but not nearly as bad. Next time I'll wear gloves I think
I recently started cooking at home more and just got some awesome sounding hot sauces but I’m a little lost on vegetarian dishes to pair them with. This seemed like a good place to get suggestions; apologies if this isn’t the right kind of post! The flavors are:
Found this at a local grocery outlet store, putting in my camping box for an upcoming weekend in the woods 👍
It has an intense initial heat but lacks long burn quality 2.8/5
If you could choose just one sauce to use on as many dishes as possible which would it be?
Don’t judge me too hard on the Hot Ones being 5/9, got a good deal on a box set. Not pictured staples: Sriracha, regular Cholula, Franks Red Hot. Standouts have been the Melinda’s GP, Aardvark, and the SH Cholula.
Little restock. The hottest is the pure hell in that lot, which is not that hot imo I will def try fiery fool and fear this next time.
All really solid sauces from a local restaurant.
A couple of sauces I always have on hand
My son is allergy to dairy and corn
Everything in North America pretty much contains one corn product or a other
The upside is it has forced us to try different things
Front Street Heat is a habanero and jalapeno sauce and it's delicious! It's made in Ontario It's also gluten free
Bow Grizzly is "prepared for Bow Valley BBQ" IN Canmore, AB
Its mostly a cayenne sauce and is good on everything
Take pride: This is partially all your fault.
And hot damn it’s delicious! And the price is good. Nice level of heat - doesn’t melt your face off but my nose did run a little bit. Great flavor - combo of carrots, onions, habanero, and tangerine is 👌
So I was enjoying happy hour at a bar yesterday in New Orleans. Started chatting with a guy next to me and it turns out he founded a hot sauce company called Perique Pepper Sauce. Then he goes out and brings back some bottles to try. Twist my arm! He explained how they used different pepper blends, but what was really unique is they use vinegar derived from real sugar cane (like old school Coke).
I did try the Creole Handshake and was immediately hit with a sweet pepper taste and strong pop of vinegar. It was stonger than Tabasco and Crystal, but not that hot. What I really liked was a lingering warmth in the mouth that lasted 5 minutes or so. They are only in local stores or on their website. If you like Louisiana style hot sauces, you might want to give them a try.

Curious what all of you use on anything from plain scrambled eggs or potatoes to a breakfast taco or eggs Benedict.
I have a little collection going and I def have different favorites for different styles of food but I havnt found anything I LOVE for breakfast yet. I’ll give a mild sauce a try but I usually prefer things on the spicier side if that helps.
I’ll try them all just not at once lol
Chicken wings, tacos, burgers, eggs, pizza…anywhere I want a good splash of flavor without a lot of heat, this stuff rocks.
This stuff is killer. Just polished off the bottle.
So I've recently found this gem and I'm in love with it. Has anyone else tried it? It has become my new obsession as of late.
I don’t have any at the moment so no picture but it’s an all timer in my opinion, very flavorful.
I first tried Jen Chan's brick and mortar restaurant in Atlanta last year and became addicted to their hot sauce, which has a nice integration of tamari and sesame oil. IMO it deserves to be on the Mt. Rushmore of hot sauces, definitely worth the try if you can get it at the restaurant or online (https://www.jenchans.com/)
