Crystal is my go to mild hot sauce. It's versatile like Frank's but I like it more. Garlic version is GOAT.

I sometimes use harissa.

>>19011145
Crystal and Texas Petes are the best lousiana pepper sauces.
Tabasco Chipotle is a great smoky sauce for mexican shit, I like it better than Cholula

>>19011169
Second, cholula is awesome. I get it from costco, I use it like ketchup desu

You're welcome

>>19011180
good but overpriced compared to equally good sauces

>>19011145
Behold the scorpion

Valentina. Chalula green pepper variant. Marie Sharp's mild. Crystal as other people have said. You should try Tabasco if you've never had it. It's very distinct but personally I don't eat it regularly. Frank's is middling and is basically the ketchup of hot sauces.

If you're willing to step up to something spicy I recommend El Yucateco. It's very good for a mass produced sauce. I've made Habanero sauce from my garden and El Yucateco is just as good. Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce is good as well but extremely spicy.

Avoid: Tapatio (inferior Valentina) , Secret Aardvark (tastes like mild taco bell sauce) Texas Pete (strangely sweet tasting), La Botanera (vile Mexican sewer water)

Wild card: Blis hot sauce. They age it in barrels that formerly held bourbon so it has a very faint but pleasant oaked flavor.

Obviously there are hundreds of indie hot sauces that ive never tried but I eat hot sauce daily and these are the ones that I've kept around for the last decade.

>>19011145
I really miss this one, the guy who made it stopped, it was too expensive to keep it up. I asked him about it some years ago and he gave me a good financial reason on it. I used to buy it by the case, that stuff was awesome.

>>19011203
You keep around sauces for decades?
You come across as a serious homosexual.

>>19011203
You're saying avoid tapatio but that's probably one of the best for a novice like op looking for something mild.

>>19011237
OP doesn't come across as a novice with a list like what what written. He comes across as a seasoned homosexual.

>>19011158
>>19011145
i like crystal or lousiana hot
really any decent vinegar hot sauce, i like to doctor up franks some because its cheap at costco(chipotle peppers, lime juice, fresh garlic, onion powder, dried dill, worcestershire)
theres a canadian company that does a dill and serrano hot sauce that tastes like spicy dill pickles called Heartbeat, that i enjoy quite a bit as well, but can be annoying to get a hold of

>>19011239
sober up buddy

don't know man, I make my own

>>19011237
Tapatio and Valentina are about equally spicy but Tapatio tastes worse.

>>19011254
Well valantina has the vinegar and tapatio has the garlic

>>19011252
Why do you have glasses by the mortar and pestle and oil? If a drop of oil hits the glasses then it'll be a bitch and a half to next Sunday to clean up.

>>19011282
what glass? everything is plastic that I re use when I buy stuff and give it more life time. That, and I got tired of my wife of breaking the glassware when she does the dishes

>>19011169
Chipotle tobasco is good. I don't use hot sauce as often as I did when I was young. But, I always have a bottle of this around.

>>19011292
Creepy euro freak, you know that you can wash glass, this stuff works especially well and smells good

This shit is cash

>>19011346
Old Bay hot sauce? I never even tried it. I'm surprised op bought a whole case of the stuff.

Any hot sauce recommendation for mexican food?
I'm trying to make a dish with veggies and beef but i don't know any sauces that would be appropriate for the dish

>>19011324
nice, will try

>>19011353
>I'm surprised op bought a whole case of the stuff.
It was discounted because of the use by date, they were supposed to have been consumed by june 2022 I think. I'm about halfway of the 10 I bought.
>>19011237
>for a novice like op looking for something mild
I've had hotter ones, I just like the sauce to offer some flavour too and not just heat. It's annoying when eating 'hot' becomes a competition.

>>19011183
Tranny, what other sauces are you getting that taste like Tabasco?

>>19011375
>sage
bump

this is the best hot sauce ive ever had. i wish i had some rn

>>19011145
Every Louisiana hot sauce besides Tabasco is utter shit. They usually have literally 5-10 times the salt content of Tabasco to cover up the fact that it's a bottle of reddened white vinegar.

>>19011292
Why do women love destroying glassware? One of my exes broke almosf all of my nice beer glasses.

I'll put this on anything, the ketchup of hot sauce if you will.

>>19011145
Crystal for table louisiana and Tapatio for table mexican

>>19011252
Ditto. I ferment and blend.

>>19011215
Get the recipe off him.

>>19011384
There's nothing wrong with a mild Louisiana hot sauce. Tabasco is way too overpowering for a lot of applications. When you want to actually taste the food you're eating I'd reach for something weaker tasting like Crystal.

>>19011460
Is because they are in a hurry to gossip in whatsapp

>>19011470
Is ok from time to time

i like this shit

>>19011726
I prefer the red version for the flavor, even though it's less hot. This might still be a little more heat than OP is looking for

>>19011145
Have a billion hot sauces in the pantry, Valentinas is definitely the one I pull out the most often

>>19011796
my local store stopped carrying this. very, very disappointing. i would use it for everything except sandwiches. for those it's got to be a louisiana type sauce (crystal, texas pete, franks, etc.)

>*sniff* *SNIFF*

>>19011796
Sarina?

the best ive had so far

>>19011859
Serina, hot chick.
Liv v MU, 7-nil

Hmm looks like I can get this one, close enough?

>>19011928 meant for >>19011796

>>19011375
Combine the green and chipotle for a nice tasty treat especially on fried foods.

>>19011928
yes the black label is just the hotter version

>>19011848
>louisiana type
>texas pete

>>19011796
>salsa
Is that more of a pulped pepper style, like sriracha?

>>19011987
no, it's muy smooth

>>19011145
Suprised this hasn't been posted already. This is what you want op, Frank's Red Hot Original. It goes on pretty much everything, has great flavour, and is mild. I always keep it on hand.

>>19012037
I've had that, yeah it's fine. Personally wouldn't place it above Old Bay.

>eat any amount of old bay seasoning
>three hours later a celery seed dislodges and you bite into it
>mouth floods with celery taste

Hey guys I like heat but I'm sensitive to bitter tastes. Do you know of anything that would be good?

>>19011470
I like the chipotle cholula a LOT

>>19011470
Weak watered down vinegar ketchup.

El yucateco, or sriracha.
If you want 10 dollar + bottles I have more recs.
Los calientes for mexican/tex mex, Seafire gourmet reaper sauce for anything bbq, hotter than el for soups and ramen, extreme karma for anything cheddar based like mac and cheese.

>>19012282
sambal oelek it's not even very hot it's nice and pleasant hot. get Madame janette if you want something really spicy. they both don't taste bitter in my experience.

>>19011987
salsa just means sauce in spanish, so mexican hotsauces will be labled 'salsa picante' or whatever
>>19011145
if you can find this one, try it. it's more flavorful than you might want to put on some things, but it's great on fried chicken, pork, potatoes, pasta salad, tuna, sandwiches etc, and it a great additive to other sauces and marinades. think of it like ketchup or steak sauce

>>19012457
forgot to crop my image

Tapatio or Chalula, maybe Sriracha occasionally but I am a total hot sauce casual so I could use tips

>>19012468
i never see things like 'not good for boiling, wouldn't use on pasta'

>>19011145
You called for a hot sauce consult?

>>19012408
i knew i'd find an expert on here. thanks, chief, I'll try them

>>19011848
Crystal is my favorite.

t. Louisiana dude

>>19012325
Why would you put hot sauce on Mac and cheese. Disgusting

>>19013673
most hot sauce goes with most cheese. i'm not saying all but i haven't tried a bad one yet

>>19013673
I put it on all sorts of things. Eggs, baked potatoes, "spaghetti"(ground beef, red sauce, rottinni), depending on my mood or taste.

any of the salsa huichol, they shit on everything ITT

>>19013685
>>19013687
Most cheese is way too mild for that pasta to taste like anything other than hot sauce. And if we're talking Kraft it's not even a debate, you are eating hot sauce noodles, might as well but the hot Cheetos Mac

>>19011726
The black label version is amazing. I love the added smokiness. Green one is great too though.

yellowbird. their habanero is really good but they have milder flavors
dirty dicks
secret aardvark
valentina

probably not american but el yucateca

>>19011145
Tabasco, Cholula, and Frank's Red Hot are my go to hot sauces.

Texas Pete is good too.

>>19011145
Can somebody please post the copypasta where the guy talks to the waitress about the barcade and informing their saucemonger?

Please and thankyou.

Also the answer is >>19012037

>>19011145
Lousiana hot is my put that shit on everything hot sauce. I also like this stuff called aardvark which is a very tomato-y hot sauce that goes great with eggs.

>>19014099
>oh, waitress! *snaps fingers* come here, my poppet, I've decided on what I shall dine upon today.
>May I have the BEARDY MCBEARDMAN MEGA BEEFY QUADRUPLE BEEF BEER BACON N BOURBON BURGER WITH 3000 MONTH PINK HIMALAYAN SALT CAVE AGED CRUELTY FREE SLAVERY FREE NON GMO FARM TO TABLE CIGAR SMOKED GOUDA
>Oh, and of COURSE! My apologies for not realizing that the hot sauce menu was a subset of the MAIN menu (albeit a separate pamphlet detailing the intricacies of each sauce, as well as pairing suggestions, would be a welcome addition (pass that along to your sauce monger)). I shall sample your in-house BEELZEBUTT'S 7,000,000 SCOVILLE HEMORRHOID HOLOCAUST NUCLEAR ANAL LEAKAGE XXXXXX FECAL FURY SAUCE; and, my sweet, mayhaps a bottle of it to go? Though I am yet to taste it, I am sure that my buddies at the barcade - yes, a portmanteau of 'bar' and 'arcade,' and YES, you can actually DRINK as you PLAY VIDEO GAMES, whatever will they think of next? - will be utterly TICKLED by the label your crew has concocted for that bottle!

>>19011145
this is definitely my favorite tasting hot sauce
actually tastes like good salsa

>>19011910
>>19011145
as someone whos family is from sinaloa
guacamaya is the most nostalgic for me

then valentina goes on all chips
and finally cholula if youre american

but if you want to step your game up you need to buy salsa macha

>>19014293
Always nice every now and then

>>19011145
The Arizona Subiaco monks make a very, very good smoked habanero sauce. Has salt, vinegar, habaneros, and not much else. The flavor is insane, and the heat is respectable, but nothing insane.

Goes great in soups.

>>19011910
Best seafood tostada hot sauce

>>19011203
This spic basedboi gets it

>>19013692
this is the only sauce I've ever poured down the drain

Crystal or Rana (idk if that's available in the states) is all you need.

>>19016320
>Crystal
If you like Crystal try Crystal Extra Hot

>>19016325
i did the one time albertsons stocked it. they didn't have it when i ran out. and no place carries the fun tabasco variants like chipotle

>>19016343
They sell it at basically wholesale directly

>>19011145
Gator Hammock
Not too hot, but very flavorful. They also sell it as powder for seasoning.

>>19014392
Haha very good. The 'septuple X' was a nice touch

>>19013767
>the taste of burnt rubber is amazing!

>>19014392
incredible. Nailed the drifting transatlantic of pierce Brosnan

>>19011145
Probably not a good idea to ask a hot sauce enthusiast about mild sauces. I'm no expert myself, but I've reached a point where I can quickly drink a bottle if I wanted to. I've already seen the distinct favoritism in hotter ones compared to mild ones in the thread

>>19016320
Are you Saudi?

>>19014392
doesnt sound faggy at all, it sounds like James Bond orders a hot sauce

We share the same taste. Yucateca green is an absolute staple

>>19021288
Toast with avocado, yucateca green and a lime squeezed on top is my go to snack.

>>19011180
Tabasco sauce is fucking gross. It's not even spicy, it just tastes like vinegar.

i used to be an "enthusiast" that tried everything, extreme heats and all.
but i've settles on these guys.
>tapatio - can be overbearing but a few drops is nice on most things
>el yucateco red - my favorite with eggs
>crystal - my preferred chicken wing flavor/style
>valentina - perfect for mexican food flavor. go with the yellow label if it's too hot.
>marie sharp - for a quick hot habanero kick. least common but still cheap
anything else is either too unique of a flavor that gets tiring, unavailable locally and annoying to order online. you can get the first 4 nationally.

>>19011145
I ferment my own. Need to work on the flavor some, but holy the heat is incredible

You can't be trusted if you don't fuck with the 'tec

Has anyone tried this one?
The idea of a garlic hot sauce sounds fucking delicious
