Hot Sauce

[jfine]

Sriracha on Thai or Chinese food. Cholula for Mexican, or for a bit more kick, El Yucateco green. It's bright green, and a little goes a long way. It's made from habaneros, and it'll make your tastebuds scream for mercy and beg for more all at once! I love the Thai chiles in fish sauce they serve in most Thai restaurants, and a good Indian curry will get me every time, especially a nice hot vindaloo.

I really enjoy hot sauce that adds flavor, not just heat, to a dish. I prefer Mexican-stye hot sauce such as Tapatio and Melinda's.

Any suggestions for a good flavorful sauce?

My long standing fave was always Tabasco. However it's a bit thin I find and I think I like it more cause of the nostalgia.

A few years back I ran across Melinda's and ordered up a variety of bottles from their site to try out. My current fave is their Scotch Bonnet which I find to be the perfect blend of heat and flavor. Next would be the Naga Jolokia or Ghost Pepper which is a bit hotter than the Scotch Bonnet (and currently Melinda's hottest) but really quite flavorful as well and it goes really well with beef I've found.

I've tried most of Melinda's offerings including the XXXX Reserve, Red Savina, Habanero ketchup, etc. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I know most of you will cringe, but in So-Cal having ranch dressing to dip with your pizza is pretty big. Mixing in some Scotch Bonnet Melinda's with the ranch dressing is sublime!

So I had a couple-two-three pops last night. This morning I felt like havin something a lil greasy to start off the day. So I went to the coffee shop and got a Sausage Egg and Cheese sandwich.

When I got home, I thought "I don't need any hot sauce on this right now. It's got plenty of flavor already."

I took three bites before I went and grabbed the Melinda's Scotch Bonnet...

From earlier this week - my favorite hot wing sauce. Now simply called Killers, formerly Caribbean Killers - heat, but with a nice citrus-y flavor to it.

And yes, that's extra wing sauce for dipping! Tasty (good on their homemade potato chips, too). A couple of the waitresses just give me weird looks because I normally hardly drink anything until the wings are gone.

Several of my family members just got back from Sevierville, TN, where they picked up some pineapple-serrano hot sauce from a hot-sauce specialty store down there. Great stuff--sweet and very hot.

Best breakfast that requires hot sauces!

I put Tabasco on a lot; I'll have to try this one.
