The kind I make at home. Fuck the store bought hot sauce meme.

>>11840163
This.
If you're not fermenting your own food at home you really gotta step up your food game.
Hot sauce, kimchi/sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir, yogurt, sourdough, etc. Get yo head in the game.

>>11840159
current kick
very well balanced

>>11840159
idk what that green shit is but top 3 are in the pic
>valentina
not very spicy, but a flavorful picante sauce
>cholula
an absolute must for breakfast foods
>tapatio
anything mexican you want to be spicy

>>11840186
Green stuff is a habanero hot sauce. 8.5/10

It really can't be beat for me.

>>11840186
>sleeping on yucateco
all their sauces kick ass

Louisiana hot sauce. Not too spicy but I think it tastes good

>>11840214
I just bought a bottle of the green stuff and holy fuck is it good!
Honestly the perfect spice level for me to add to almost anything without completely overpowering it.

I do still love the shitty tapatio, Louisiana, Tabasco, kind for eggs though

I love the green el yuteco hot sauce. And other than that, traditional flavored tabasco is good, but i kind of grew up with it. i haven't really experimented too much. the only reason i've even tried the el yuteco green sauce is because some mexican soup recipe i was trying out called for it.

>>11840211
this

>>11840175
Sure thing, Brad.

>>11840159
Mine is Dave's Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle sauce. Perfect balance of spice and flavor.

Meme craft hot sauce from an ethically managed microsaucery

>>11840664
I like the green better than red, red is okay but not fantastic. Find some of the brown stuff, it's a tad hotter and really nice though I like the taste of green better. Steer away from the black, it's not very tasty.

>>11841132
muh alicin

>>11840159
This is my current favorite, also like to use yellowbird habenero, my homemade habenero, and some kickstarter chipotle sauce.

They had these at my summer camp when i was a kid, worth its weight in gold.

>>11840180
this brand is baste

>>11840211
Three ingredients, all you need.

>>11840159
Nothing, because the food should pack all the flavor. I don't need hot sauce to taste anything I put in my mouth unlike you americans

depends on the purpose
potatoes get a large dose of tabasco, mexican food i like tapatio, and chicken is best with franks redhot

Huichol is the best Mexican hot sauce. Blows all the other shit out of the water.

Absolutely delicious

>>11842737
Where are you from?

>>11840159
Cholula

Nice dry heat, thick

*blocks your interview*

>Its another hot sauce thread

>>11840159
Anything japapeño or habanero.

>>11840163
Good man.

>>11840664
Glad you liked it

>>11841567
I agree with your other points but I am a fan of the black sauce. If you have ever smelled roasting Chile peppers it taste like that. So might just be nostalgic but I find it delicious

>>11840211
Mom just got 3 bottles of this a few days ago. She made some kick ass Gumbo with this.

Part of my distant family owns this, so I am obliged to say Tabasco.

>The Last Dab so I can be like the Hot Ones

unironically this
i was so surprised at how good it was, especially on shit like tacos quesadillas and mexican food in general
its actually the best tasting hot sauce ive ever had

>>11842956
you say this condescendingly but i have never actually met someone that enjoyed the taste of last dab
i got the three pack of the hot ones sauces as a gift, the classic, los calientes, and last dab, last dab is hot but it just tastes like really really hot mustard. the novelty of the sauce is gone almost instantly

The best is the one I make. But that's really more for taquizas and general food. (Burn the fuck out of tomatoes on a dry cast iron, or on the grill, make em black, about 3 or 4. 4 or 5 Serranos and 1 jalapeno -or- 5 or 6 chile de arbol, and 2 nice sized guajillos , 2 roasted garlic,half a large onion, chicken boullion, salt and pepper )

But store bought we tend to use Valentina to snack , yucateco red is my preferred store bought sauce

>>11842879
I don’t know why people shit on it, nothing is better on eggs or pizza.

>>11842980
Note in case anyone uses that recipe, you grill Serranos and jalapenos same as the tomatoes

When it comes to the chile de arbol and guajillo it's either tossed in oil at medium heat (do not burn them bruh ) or soak in as little boiling water possible (but enough to cover them, I use a little cup w a lid)

>>11841150
It's OK, but tastes too chemically

>>11841605
Wourder

>>11842980
>>11842989
>Putting blackened vegetables in the sauce without removing bitter char

Fucking gross anon

>>11840159
Unironically Sriracha. Goes great on noodles.

>>11843006
Fuckoff you stupid hick, you don't know what you are talking about

This hard to find deliciousness

>>11842879
If I had only one sauce forever this would have to be it.

Hands down my current favorite ever since my previous favorite sauce was discontinued.

>>11840159
Cholula
Mostly use it for breakfast tho or Patty melts

Picamas. Has. Areally nice flavor to it.

>>11840159
If this had a wooden top it would be pure food kino.

My vote: Gator Hammock

Wife's vote: Secret Aardvark.

All you plebs still haven't experienced the taste sensation that is a homemade 'aji' hot sauce which contains tomarillo fruit.
If done right at home it honestly kills the entire store hot sauce meme

I like heat but I’ve never liked the taste of white vinegar, so this is my favorite because it doesn’t have any vinegar in it.

>>11842987
Who the hell shits on Tabasco?

>>11843454
this.

>>11840211
The garlic version of this makes you cum

>>11842788
My Bay Area negro.

This shit on eggs is next level.

>>11842848
I swear they leave it in only because everyone hates it. Why else would it be the only sauce they never replace, surely some other sauce has a similar spice level. It must be that it tastes so fucking foul that they leave it in for the reaction.

>>11842852
Go make another fast food thread then faggot, nobody said you had to join hot sauce general.

Buy Char Man Caribbean you won't regret it unless you can't handle spice well.


>>11842965

I have some of that. It's decent, a lot more smokey than I expected.

>>11843720
Go fuck yourself hipster faggot, if it was so good we'd all be eating it.

>>11842879
desu the green tabasco is pretty good

>>11840159
I do an overpriced hot sauce of the month club, so most of my sauces are new to me, or in varied rotation. That said, Yucateco red, green, XXX, and Caribbean get heavy play, as does pic related.

It's like sambal oelek in texture, almost a relish as much as a sauce. Fruity from the scotch bonnets, which are the first ingredient, but they're aged and pickled which mellows the heat out a bit. It's still pretty darn hot, while having a lot of pepper flavor.

>>11841683
All their sauces have this artificial lime taste in them that just grosses me out to the point that I can't taste anything else. It's too bad bc they're clearly solid sauces, but that taste has ruined many a sauce for me - anything from Lucky Dog, for instance.

>>11840175
i'm scared to ferment
i can and dehydrate but those things are both fairly immediate
i don't always follow through with thinks so i'm worried about just having vats of rotten, exploding detritus shit scattered around my living space

>>11843947
Thus, making their own last dab taste very good by comparison

>>11845383
A bubbler airlock is a good, cheap investment. No pressure buildup, no explosive messes.
Lots of other stuff don't require tightly sealed containers.
Forgetting about ferments happens though, especially if you start fermenting a lot of stuff.

>>11840186
That green shit is actually my favorite sauce. But I'm afraid to Branch out because I don't want to spend 15 bucks on a tiny bottle of inedible poison.

>>11845464
i should try it
it's right up my wheel house

>>11840159

Frank's buffalo. Anything habanero.
Have like 3 bottles of Cholula in the fridge because you guys memed me into it. It isn't bad and got it in the sale but i can't really think of many dishes i cook which ask for smokyness. Perhaps a sandwich with mayo and lettuce but that's about it.

My favorite is pic related which is made by a local here.
The best ones are original, garlic and pineapple.
It's not terribly hot, maybe Tobasco-tier, but very tasty.
I have a bunch more I use regularly though, Marie Sharp's Gold, Valentina Black, Yucateco Mayan.
Yucateco Black tastes weird to me, I don't understand it. What am I supposed to do with it?
Also I just got Mamoun's and I haven't tried it yet and don't know what it's like so if you have suggestions I'm all ears.

>>11843946
another vote for pepper plant.
831

>>11840186
is El Yucateco and is the only proper sauce of that bunch, is almost just like homemade sauce, the rest belong to the trash

>>11843410
Shiiiiit, bottled piquin sauce? Genius!. How come I have never seen this before?

>>11843454
Isn't yucateco a bit too vinegary to go with foods tho?. Never liked it, even when I lived in Mexico.

>>11841567
the black sauce is based on the spices used to prepare chilmole and relleno negro, which is mainly burn chilis, that sauce tastes almost exactly like those dishes minus the pork and is honestly my fave

Years ago my aunt went on vacation brought me back the one on the far right. Really good but haven't had it since.

This isn’t the best sauce ever but it’s my fav. Reminds of when a local news anchor and I hooked up in Colorado a couple of years ago. Trial separation from her husband, on vacation in Ouray with friends, met at the downtown hot springs. Six weeks later she was back with her husband and pregnant...pretty sure the boy is mine but whatever.

>>11846208
Apparentlythat brand also makes bottle tepin sauce. I actually found the bottom pequin sauce as a local mercado

Black yucateco has a strong flavor compared to the other sauces. Very smoky. The vinegar doesn't come through so much. It's a sauce you either love or hate though and most people I who has tried mine hated it.

surprisingly good

>>11841620
fucking love scoring this at Sainsburys. Often down to a quid. Quinoa set don't even fucking know.

>>11846384

I've got the Jamaican one from them and it's so fucking tasty in burgers and on potato wedges.

>>11845383
Kek im scared too anon. Bad exp when i was younger

>>11843703
I just got some of this from publix in FL. It does taste nice but I get basically zero heat from it. It is more of a nice bbq sauce to me.

this is legit the best sauce ive tried recently its not super hot but still has some kick and tastes amazing

>>11846744
go on

>>11842956
>>11842970
the last dab tastes good but honestly after all the hype i was let down. i thought it would be so much better and hotter than it was. there are better sauces out there tho

El yucateco is probably the best you can find in a typical grocery store.

>>11840159
Lived in New Zealand a long time ago. Hated that place with a burning passion, but I've never been able to find hot sauce better than this. The kiwifruit variant is also fucking tasty as well.

>>11843454

>>11842987
My nigga.

>>11851151
The black has a much stronger taste.
Smoky is the best generic way I can describe it. You'll either love it or you will hate it (with higher odds on hating it). But if you love it you will be tempted to order it by the jug as there isn't really any other sauce like it.

All hot sauces are good, they just don't always go with everything. I think most people have an issue because they try to use "1-hot sauce for everything" mind set.

Anyways, Black Tesco (because oil puns are funny) is good on top enchiladas and nachos and Mexican Rice.
I wouldn't really put it in a lot of other things.

>>11840211

On eggs or fish&chips are prob the only things that tast good with tobasc

>>11853119
https://www.amazon.com/El-Yucateco-Black-Reserve-Habanero/dp/B01AYBH7XM

I can use it on anything.
A favorite is smothering red pork tamales with it (cheap tamales with too much masa anyway)
I do know people who wouldn't use anywhere ever because they absolutely hate the taste. It's at a point where all the stores near me uses to carry it but now none do even though several still carry the other yucateco sauces.
Some stores just flat-out dropped the entire brand because of that lead content thing a few years back

I'm partial to this.

>>11840211

>>11853146

>>11847714
I don't even taste heat, all I taste is vinegar.

>>11853162
I love it my brother hates it, we are Mexican . It does go great on Mexican rice. Best way to describe it is if you ever smelled a mexican mother roasting Chiles on the stove and the outside skin starts turning balck that smell is how the sauce tastes.

>>11853896
By mexican rice you're talking arroz rojo?

>roasting chile
My family is from new mexico. Roasting chile is a way of life. Maybe that's why I like the black sauce so much

>>11840159
None of this stupid Mexican shit just give me Louisiana

Tabasco smoked Chipotle is pretty good, you can use it like ketchup on any food that tastes a bit boring, also good to stir into some mayonnaise. Any tabasco is probably the best you can get where I live anyways. Not much choice outside of that except franks red hot ("one drop does it" my ass, might as well use sugary vinegar).

Maybe the formula is different in europe for franks, or is it shit everywhere and that's why you niggas meme that stuff?

>name your sauce

CHOLULAAAAAAA... YEAHH-AH!

Made my first fermented hot sauce last weekend. I've become obsessed with it and it's half gone already, which means that it tastes awesome but it's not hot enough. For the next batch I probably need to add something like xanthan gum to keep the liquids and solids from separating. It would be awesome if I could find some carolina reapers to make it hot enough instead of habaneros, I am considering growing my own reapers, which is a whole other rabbit hole to go down.

>>11854837
try orange habanero they are really flavorful and pack a wallop of heat, also I may try some xanthum gum in my next batch to thicken it up a smidge.

I usually do a lb or 2 of pepper, an onion or two, a carrot, a tomato, 1/4 cup vinegar blend and wala!

>>11854837
I made 2 styles of fermented hot sauce this year: habanero/tomato/carrot/garlic and the same only a mixture of habanero and tabascos. The second was much hotter than the habanero alone.

>>11854952
the best fucking hot sauce I ever made,
20-30 serranos topped and deseeded
2 yellow onions
2 prepped mangos
blended it up and it came out fucking amazing, I have never fermented a sauce, but someday I will, in fact I bought the art of fermentation, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

No one seems to talk about this gem, I discovered it on a trip to Maine and since then I've been completely addicted. Such a fantastic balance of sweet and spicy, with a kick that's powerful but never gets in the way of enjoying the food. It works on everything.

>scrambled eggs
There's something perfect about the combination of Tabasco and cafeteria-style scrambled eggs. Maybe it's just nostalgia.

This is stuff is so good I put it on my eggs sometimes.

I use it for Asian dishes and its a really good addition for heat in soups.

I make my own hot oil. Pretty easy to do, just uses about a cup of pepper flakes, a couple tablespoons of Sichuan peppercorns, a couple star anise pods, a bunch of garlic, some bay leaves, a stick of cinnamon, and any other seasonings you want in it. There's a few ways to do it, but since I filter mine anyways I just mix it all up in a large heatproof bowl, warm up a cup and a half of peanut oil until crosses smoking hot for a second or two, then it off heat a minute or so, then pour it over, stirring. Then let it sit overnight and strain out.

>>11847714
I can't taste anything other than vinegar. Tabasco is for people who like to pretend they like spicy food but actually don't.

>>11853944
Yes arroz Rojo. And you new Mexicans do make some awesome peppers.

yes. The Chipotle knockoff is good too.

>>11856822

>>11856772

This shits awesome, probably my fav hotsauce. I havent gone deep in the hotsauce shelf, just trying most of the ones you find at the local chain grocery stores...but this is slightly sweet, a lil smokey and a lil spicy n vinegary. Well balanced. Most other sauces go so heavy in one direction.

>>11840211

Gimme gimme varky cummies
Be they spicy or very nummies.
Spend my hard-earned good-hubby points,
on hipster Portland hot sauce joints.
Wifey's bull lifts me to the car,
To find me varkies near and far.
Enjoy my tasty varky treats,
in comfy Prius heated seats.
Drunk Jerk, Black Bean, Mayo, Hab,
But of my varkies none I have.

She always makes me prep our bull,
But prepping doesn't make me full.
Varkies are the only food,
That puts me in the fapping mood.
I'll dream and doubt but make no fuss,
I'll wish, I'll want, but I won't cuss!
Varkies are my heart's desire,
Fueled by burning, hungry fire.
Wifey cums and wails real hard,
But Tyrone's cum isn't 'vark nor Aard'.

My good-hubby points were fairly earned,
To buy the varkies that I've yearned.
But there's no varkies on my plate!
Did wifey think that I'd just ate?
"VARKIES, VARKIES I NEED THEM NOW,
IT IS VARKIES I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!"
I cry while looking into her eyes,
While Tyrone hits me to no surprise.
For he who is un-varked is he who understands:
Never forget to shine his new Air Jordans

What are some good hot sauces to put on eggs

>>11842879
Mild pepper flavoring with vinegar isn't too appetizing. If I want that chemically vinegar taste and heat I just turn to blair's ultra death. If I want actual flavor I'd go elsewhere.

>>11842879
I used to like this decades ago and don’t any more. Recently I got ahold of a truly ancient bottle of it, from the ‘80s, and the old stuff is indeed much better than the new. My wife thought I was nuts but ended up trying it and liking it too. She hates the new Tabasco, I’d use it if I really needed hot sauce and it was the only thing but I never buy it.

>>11858171
Chilli, salt, vinegar ... sometimes garlic. Anything else and it is ruining the flavour in my opinion.

It's gotta be Pepper Plant for me lads.

It's no polar vortex but it sure is pissing rain out here in the bay.

where to buy good hot sauce? is it at Safeway or something?

>>11860026
Most grocery stores have a mostly decent selection, getting better ass you go higher end. There's a shop at the Mall of America that only sells hot sauce.

Otherwise, online's always a thing.

>>11860015
I always see this on the shelf but never heard anything about it until now. Guess I'll have to give it a try.

>>11860080
I've only had the regular and chunky garlic. I like both, though I've met people who only like the regular. The chunky garlic has literal fat chunks of garlic and is not for people who aren't into that.

Any halfway decent diner spot in the bay area should have the regular available, if you want to try before you buy.

>>11853146
This is just way too sweet

>>11860015
>>11860080
>>11860205
It should be noted that Pepper Plant is not a "hot" sauce. If you are a total spice bitch you'll notice, but for anyone who has experience with actual heat it will only serve as delicious flavor not any burn.

They make a spicy black label one, or so I've heard but I've never tried it.

Literally the worst hot sauce I've ever wasted money on, and I love the green and XXXtra hot El Yucateco. This shit is watery garbage that tastes like mildly spicy burnt toast crumbs, and makes all your food unappealing visually.

>>11852176
I like this one because it's cheap, maintains an actual pepper flavor, and is hot *enough*

>>11847628
>cheeky

He liek Srach

>>11853457
never tasted, sounds very good thou

>>11851151

It has a smoke/burnt flavor, probably left the habaneros get charred a little to get that flavor. It has less heat than kutbil-ik, similar to the green and red ones.

>>11846208

Piquin is mostly consumed as raw or dried fruit at least in Mexico, it is incredibly addictive as such (bite food, bite piquin, repeat) that's why there are not that many bottled sauces.

If you can get your hands on some seeds and live in a sunny place try to grow it. It rocks.

>>11861102
Yes I know. I am a Mexican expat living in Europe at the moment. From the northeast of Mexico in fact. Piquin is very known sought after over there, and something I grew up with.

I have about a kilo bag of it waiting for me on my mom's freezer in Mexico. Unfortunately, it's hard to grow peppers here. I am actually thinking of making one of those bucket thingies that the junkies use to plant weed to grow chillies around here. Either that, or just put them by the window and supplement with glow lights.

We usually don't eat them whole, although more badass people such as my grandma, may she rest in peace, did add a handful of them to her soup.

Saludos, mexanon.

My co-worker bought this the other week and now I'm addicted to it

>>11860230
Not him but tiger has a place.
It's quite good on grilled chicken or pork to offset the bitterness of flame-licked char from slamming your meat down on a white hot charcoal grill.
It can also be used as a decent glaze

>>11861215
You can't aquire pequin in Europe? Even online?

>>11842879
its good but overrated

>>11841620
boiiiii was just using some of this, wish it was easier to get more of their other hot sauces around here this is the only one I've been able to find locally for a while.

For me, It's Red Rooster. The best hot sauce.

Tabasco is like American adjunct lager. it's for people who want to keep hot sauce on the table as a lifestyle identifier but don't actually like spicy food.

>>11840159
this stuff
most of their sauces are good but this one is the best by far

>>11861650
Nope bruh. I can barely get fresh jalapeno, habanero or poblano around these parts in the "ethnic" shops. Fresh piquin is a little hard to get and expensive even in Mexico, as its very low yield.

Dry I miiiiight be able to get, but it's just not the same. I'll be going to Mootxico on April and then try to smuggle a bunch back. Keeps for like a year in the freezer.

Common varieties of dried chilies such as ancho, morita and chipotle are super easy to find though.

>>11840159
Louisianna Gold is the best sauce I've ever had and probably will ever have had.

>>11865556
Yeah, that tough. As you said try growing a plant or 2. I had a piquin growing in a container for a while. It did well outside over summer but we have hot days and cool nights which suit most chiles.
Brought it inside and it was doing pretty good, even bloomed and was going to produce fruit but the dog knocked the whole thing over a couple times and shocked it.
Worth a shot at least.

>>11840214
Yeah for a store bought, standard sauce I love all their varieties

>>11843947

You actually nailed it in some q&a video the host explained why they keep it in the show exactly the way you just did

>>11847628

>>11855189
Wtf is going on here

>>11864065
For me your a faggot

>>11841892
They taste different nowadays. Not sure when it changed but I think they reduced the aging time to keep up with rising demand and never went back.

>>11864065
Based and cockpilled

>>11856772
never understood the appeal of this flavor

>>11868540
Tabasco is legit disgusting.

>>11842848
I add a few drops of this to bottles of mild hot sauces. It doesn’t fuck up the flavor and adds heat. This on its own tastes like shit and is way too hot.

>>11846384
this shit is legit amazing

I love me some tobasco!

>What's /ck/'s favorite hot sauce?

Your mom's she-jizz

secret aardvark

to you who are fermenting your own peppers what's a good guide for doing it?
I want to make a sauce close to habanero tabasco (but really just as spicy as possible).
I've already cut up some hababneros and put them into a 2-3% salt brine with garlic and plan to wait a week or so.
do I then just blend it to a pulp, filter out the liquid and it's ready, or do I need to add sugar and/or vinegar to it?

>>11840159
Cholula is pretty mild but it tastes good, I think it's what Tabasco wants to be.

Tabasco is popular for some reason but it basically tastes like pure vinegar.

El Yucateco makes some good stuff, I currently have a bottle of the kutbil-ik sauce and you only need a little but it tastes great.

>>11871870
I fermented a tabasco/habanero/garlic/carrot/tomato this year that's my favorite and hotter than the habanero only I made. I used 5% brine and fermented for 30 days, blended it and added lime juice and @ 1/3 the volume of vinegar to keep it shelf stable. If you store in refrigerator you don't need the vinegar.

>>11840159
Sriracha forever. My mom consumed two bottles a month every month when she was pregnant with me. I have never went a week without it.

>>11872070
what happens if you store it at room temperature without acidification?

>>11840159
Formula 47.
I picked it up at this little craft show in Buffalo. It is probably the most amazing hot sauce I've ever had. It's not hot, but it's like... tangy and zesty?

It's almost like a spicy marinara.

>>11871870
Hey there Anon-o, where you been hiding while I was making a video?

Today...ahem mi mi mi mi mi, today we're uhhhh making fermented hot saucen

>>11842879
Absolute trash tier, bottom of the barrel hot sauce. Way overrated

What's the best Louisiana-style hot sauce? Typically only have 3 ingredients:
Fermented cayenne mash
white vinegar
salt

Tabasco is too watery for me, is Crystal or "Red Dot" more true to the Louisiana style? Or red rooster?

>>11873454
I like Crystal personally.

>>11873454
red dot is poor people hot sauce. it's typically less than half the price of Tabasco and they only age their peppers for 1 year, vs tobasco's 3. it doesn't mean it's bad, but keep it in mind when you taste it. it doesn't have the greatest flavor but if you seriously need to save $2 or $3 then go for it.

>>11873478
Every seafood restaurant in California has Crystal. hmm I bet it tastes great with chowder or fried shrimp. ty for the suggestion

>>11873519
people always talk about how long tabascos peppers are aged for but imo it doesn't matter if all you can taste is the vinegar. I'll gladly take red dot over tabasco.

>>11855156
Stuff isn't that good man

>>11873454
>Crystal or "Red Dot" more true to the Louisiana style? Or red rooster?

I'm from Louisiana. Crystal is like watered-down Louisiana hot sauce. Skip Crystal, unless Louisiana hot sauce is too hot for you. Never heard of "Red Dot" before.

Texas Pete!

Comes with the right amount of salty sweet!

And the right amount of heat!!!

Any other fuego box member out there?

>>11843947
That's because it has no real taste, it's pure extract heat. The 2 beyond it have higher scovilles but they at least have some taste

>>11875934
Is that why it's like that. I've had "The last DAB" before and it's hot but doesn't seem that insane. I've bitten into raw chilies that fucked me up more. I'm not wild about the flavor but it has one. Da Bomb just appears to taste like battery acid and I didn't know why that was but I'm certain they only keep it because it sucks to eat. A dubious honor for whoever makes it.

>>11841150
>indulging on Franks in the very same existence as Valentina

At the moment I am really hooked on this stuff.

If you're in the UK (ideally London) then try and get your hands on this; it's quite hot but tastes incredible.

Recently got Da Bomb Beyond Insanity, and Power Drops 3mln, but Nothing Beyond has a nice flavor...

Gotta say Da Bomb *stinks*.

>>11851273
Other than being hot as fuck and slow to attack, Da Bomb has little to speak of - rather repulsive scent and unpleasant flavour.

I guess they keep it on Hot Ones because it can really fuck you up - it takes good five seconds before the heat really takes, so you may take a good few bites, while others would stop you after the first nibble.

On par with long lasting hotness

Anyone knows what makes an attack slow?

>>11877891
usually when a sauce has a lot of content emulsified into oil, it's also characteristic of reaper peppers more than other kinds

>>11842879
The habanero one is good

>>11878359
You have the pallet of a child you faggot. It's full of sugar.

There are habanero sauces with the same consistency, generally the same ingredients (habanero, onion, garlic, carrots, ect) that don't put fucking sugar in their sauce

It's palate you retards, and you're both plebes.

>>11878403
aardvark does suck but not because of the sugar, and ingredient lists are in order of use, there's so little used that it doesn't need to be put on the actual breakdown sheet

thinking a bit of sugar or honey doesn't go with a sauce with tomatoes and carrots shows you have zero understanding of how ingredients work together, it even rounds out the vinegar to be smoother and overpower the other ingredients less

>>11878490
Melinda's has carrots and uses no sugar. It's a pretty good hot sauce

>>11878498
you don't NEED to make a sauce that has a bit of sweetness but saying "sugar doesn't go with tomatoes and carrots" is one of the dumbest things you could ever possibly say in retards to cooking

>>11878514
