take your shit ass back to ihop tapatio. valentinas is best mexican hot sauce. there are categories of hot sauce and mexican isn't even the best category but we had to make this a fair fight.

Every morning I'll half-scramble 2 or 3 eggs in butter and whip them up with some salt, fresh cracked pepper, and tapatio on a nice piping hot tortilla

gets me ready for the day

I'd do that but it'd burn twice as worse coming out as it did going in.

? How sensitive is your stomach man. I have to watch what I eat w/r/t gastrointestinal distress but you only put a few glugs in there don't murder it or anything

>I like vinegar so much I hope a large black guy from new Orleans shoots his vinegar load into my tonsils.poster.

tapatio taste WAY more like vinegar than valentina extra hot. maybe the plain valentina is a little heavy on it but really? tapatio taste like someone spilled salad dressing on a chilli flakes.

...you sure you aren't thinking of another sauce, maybe cholula? Tapatio has no vinegar at all.

>>12582702
honestly i think i was thinking of cholula because i was thinking ihop. i've had tapatio too though and i'm still remembering it being sharp. but i guess i may be crazy.

>>12582728
I've had both side by side. Cholula is way sharper than tapatio and I definitely prefer tapatio

Tapatio is low tier. It has all the markings of an inexpensive, entry-level hot sauce. Notice how it's a homogeneous mixture -- you can't see the different vegetables and spices in it. The flavor isn't anything noteworthy either. Wow, geez, there's "red peppers," "spices," and "garlic" in it (look at the ingredients list)? Pretty simple and bland list of ingredients. To top it off, do you even know the peppers they use? Whatever it is, it's not interesting. The scoville rating is a laughable 3,000.

I prefer Bunster's Black Label. It uses scorpion and bird's eye chilis, in a base consisting of orange juice, onions, apple cider vinegar, coriander, lime juice, and goji berries. The scoville rating is 70,000 to 100,000.

Continuing...

Seriously, this thread is cringe. I remember back when I was getting into hot sauces... I used to be impressed by shit like Tapatio, Cholula, etc.

Those hot sauces are a meme because they're "ethnic" so people think it's special. But the flavor just isn't there. I don't just mean they lack heat, either. I mean the flavor is mediocre. Quality hot sauces should be a somewhat chunky, thick mixture of vegetables with a sharp, interesting flavor and bold heat. Crappy hot sauces are one-dimensional, homogeneous watery mixes you drip on your eggs. It's night and day.

Okay. So what's your favorite hot sauce?

I can't wait for you to say something like Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot.

I don't see why it's so hard to understand that mass-produced hot sauces use cheap, tasteless peppers, low-quality spices, few if any optional vegetables, and have a bland flavor profile.

Note that I don't just mean they're not generally spicey (though they're not). There are also shitty meme hot sauces with chili extract. Those deliver heat but also zero flavor.

Once you've had a good hot sauce there's no going back.

Why are such an elitist over a condiment? What a pitiful existence you live

fuck you!

>>12583084
>NOOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? YOU CAN'T JUST USE THAT HOT SAUCE YOU ENJOY!! YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING WITH OBSCURE INGREDIENTS IN THE LIST!!! YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE VEGETABLE CHUNKS OTHERWISE HOW DO YOU KNOW IT HAS ONLY THE RAREST CHILIS HUH? AND IT HAS TO COME IN A UNIQUE LOOKING BOTTLE!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST USE HOT SAUCE FROM A NORMAL BOTTLE?!?

I thought this board was for true food enthusiasts. Liking low level hot sauce is like going to /v/ and saying your favorite game is Wind Waker, or going to /k/ and saying you like 1911's.

>to be a food enthusiast you can only like obscure foods

Take your retarded shit elsewhere.

Have you ever been on /v/? People have all kinds of favorites. Video games are the most normalfag hobby there is, not everyone's favorite is going to be some obscure shit.
Also if you thought this board was for enthusiasts you're a fucking idiot.

Now, I enjoy all sorts of hot sauces and hate that people have started identifying hot sauce with soyboys, but you're acting like a soyboy.

>forgot to shake pic related to make the pepper extract mix in with the sauce
>a drop of said extract lands on my tongue
JUST

>>12583123
>Those deliver heat but also zero flavor.
That's the whole point of pepper extracts or some very hot sauces though. Delivering heat without changing your food's flavor

For the latter you don't slather it unless you want to prank someone.
