Can /ck/ recommend me a good hot sauce? I like the little Lousiana Style hot sauce packets that I get from Mary Brown's chicken and I'm looking for something similar but more flavourful. It doesn't have to be too hot, I'm more looking for something that has a nice depth of different flavours in that Louisiana style of hot sauce.

I hear that Crystal is good, would that be a good consensus pick for now?

Crystal is solid but rather basic in flavor. Not a lot going on besides peppers and vinegar. I rather like this sauce out of North Carolina called Firewalker, has a lot going on with garlic and pineapple.

Crystal is a decent standard one. It's essentially the exact same thing (EXACT same thing) as Tabasco at a fraction of the cost.

Crystal tastes nothing like tobasco to me

Crystal has a cleaner flavor as the peppers aren’t aged

[Anonymous No.12666579]

for me, it's valentina extra hot, the best hot sauce

Honestly Aside from Crystal Tabasco is the way to go, it's not much hotter and tastes much richer in flavor, Louisiana Brand is also a good one

Are you high? Literally not the same

This shit is pretty good, especially adding it to an aoili. I like crystal the most but that's because my mom used to put it on my breakfast sandwiches when I was a kid....she is dead now....and I'm dead inside...but anyway yeah rooster is solid

Frank's is just vinegar with no spice.

[Anonymous No.12668090]

>>12668072
Such a tastelet thing to say. Frank's is the perfect sauce when you need to add entry level heat.

>Facts>Tastelet
You don't really want a "hot sauce" if you choose one that says cayenne on it and just tastes like vinegar. Mixing cayenne pepper with vinegar at home would reap better results in the heat department, but still no flavor.

[Anonymous No.12668173]

>>12668129
It doesn't just taste like vinegar though. You are a tastelet and have some sort of biological inability to taste the pepper. Do your made at home thing, but stop posting such awful copes.

Louisiana bro here. Even though Crystal is made and bottled in New Orleans, my hometown, don't get Crystal. Get Louisiana hot sauce, like in my pic. Crystal is basically this, but with 50% water added. They both use Cayenne peppers.

Try Louisiana host sauce or original Tabasco. Tabasco uses Tabasco peppers. Use the one you prefer. Note, Tabasco hot sauce is hotter than Louisiana hot sauce, so you need less Tabasco sauce, or more Louisiana sauce for the same amount of heat.

You're an idiot. Crystal uses Cayenne peppers. Tabasco uses Tabasco peppers.

Of the popular shelf brands, Crystals is probably my favorite. Disclaimer that I don't use hot sauce very often.
On another note, we do grow our own peppers and bottle them in vinegar and that stuff I splash onto collard greens.

Louisiana does not taste like Crystals, Crystals tastes like a watered down Franks but since Franks is like $3 a bottle and Crystals is $1 people put up with it.
