  • Hot Sauce

     08-28-2010, 4:21 AM

    I was wondering if anyone loves hot sauce as much as my self (Kuzi can attest this). If you do, what are your favorites. Do you perfer heat over flavor or flavor over heat. Where is your SHU tolerance level. What are your favorite sauces?

    Right now, I'm loving Blaire's Ultra Death (1.1 million SHU)
    Mad Dog 357 Ghost Chili Sauce (550 thousand SHU)
    Z "Nothing Beyond" (4 million SHU)
    Dave's: Total Insanity (mesely 50000 SHU)
    Siracha (another mesely 50000 SHU).

    Many of you talk about getting a job at a B&M. I almost had a job at a specialty shop that sells nothing but hot sauce, spices and rubs. I learn everything I need to know about cigars from Kuzi. This would have been the job of knowledge for me.

    Not long after marrying, my wife asked me if I put Tabasco on everything, well, nearly. It is always a disappoitment to me if I ask for it and they bring me Louisiana, or Texas Pete, not that I hate them, but definetely a let-down. My son bought me the whole Daves set, I think there were 7, but their gone now, and those others you mentioned have got me curious, as I've never seen them. Spice it up!

    4 million SHU? Are you kidding me? You must have magma flowing out of your backside! I prefer flavor over heat.

    Daves insanity! I was offered a job as a taster/guinea pig for them (they're right down the street from me). I asked what happened to the others tasters and they said their taste buds have been blown out. I passed. I like food, booze, cigars and p u s s y too much.

    I love trying new hot sauces. However, my go-to is still good old tabasco. It isn't very hot, but the flavor is great and has enough heat to spice things up. Not exactly the same thing, but I picked my first ripe habanero of the summer yesterday!

    I like spicy but don't go to the ultra hot any longer. Once you get past a certain range, it's nothing but heat.... and pain. You can't taste the subtleties and complexities any longer. One that I really enjoy is the Tabasco Habanero with it's notes of mango.

    I love hot sauce! I don't like many that use vinegar as a base, so that cuts down my selection a lot.

    From the Pain is Good/Original Juan stuff I like: Pain 100, 90, and 80%, I also always keep a bottle of Batch #114 Jamaican Style Hot Sauce.
    Some of Blair's stuff is good, I remember seeing Blair Lazar on TV and he was saying 'Habanyero' which gets under my skin(there's no eñe in Habanero, the owner of a giant hot sauce company should know that). My wife thinks black pepper is spicy, so I don't use anything hot to cook anymore.

    There was a hot sauce store near me for a really long time, but they had to close their B&M and only do online stuff a few years ago. I used to love that place, the same way I love real cigar shops for browsing.

    Left, Marriott actually owned the Hot Shoppe trademark for years, I guess they didn't protect it too aggressively. They had a chain of restaurants in the Northern Virginia area that started somewhere in the 30's, they still had at least one still open in the 90's where I used to eat lunch.

    Gringo Bandito!

    Dexter Holland, the lead singer of The Offspring, created his own hot sauce. It was originally a gag gift but then it turned into something much more. It's freaking amazing! I use it daily. I originally got some at an Offspring concert but I had my gf's mom get me a bunch when she was in Cali. When I go out there next month I plan on stocking up more on it.

    I love hot sauce, but nothing very hot. I much prefer flavor over heat. I put Texas Pete on nearly everything.

    I love flavor over heat. I have the 4 million SHU sauce more for people that I dislike. Z and I have had our boughts and I usually lose. In fact, I lose every time. The last time I ate it, I was aiming to put a drop on a brat over a drunken dare and enough ended up coming out to cover the whole link. I still manned up and ate it. The first two bites you could really taste the smokieness of the sauce, then the heat kicked in and it became a race to finish it. I spent the next 25 minutes on my dads patio sweating, crying, snot dripping out of my nose. Boarderline drooling. It is the most intense afterburn I have ever experienced. I use it as a food additive and generally try not to eat it straight (btw, great in chili). I woke up the next morning and my stomach was sore, not like heart burn, but chemical burn. I didn't feel right for a couple of days.

    The shop that I go to is called Heather's Heat and Flavor in Hudson, Oh. They have a wide, wide range of sauces and they are the only place I've seen that sells ghost chili's (whole and powdered). There is one there that I want to try called Magma. It's odorless, tasteless and colorless. It's not meant to alter the flavor of food but to add heat. They also have a limited edition set of Blaire's extracts that are almost 500 dollars.

    You should look into pure capscasin. It's 16 million SHU. It is the hottest substance around. If you buy a kit, it comes with gloves, protective eye wear, and a resperator. The s*it is nothing to mess around with. When I was with my ex, I used to put hot sauce on everything that I ate just so she would not eat it. More food for me. My money bought it and I'm going to eat it. All of it.

    +1 I hate sharing and my gf loves to snack on my food. Hot sauce is the answer! One sauce I've been digging lately is called Brother Brubru's. Pretty hot, but a great flavor that I haven't experienced elsewhere.
