it doesn't need to be any more complicated than this

collecting hot sauces with all kinds of stupid meme names is soy and cringe.

Just having a bottle or 2 of basic normal hot sauce because it makes things taste good is based.

What a shit thread. Lemme try to fix it.

What is your actual favorite hot sauce? I like crystal hot sauce. I don't like those specialty hot sauces that are hot for the sake of being hot. Crystal hot sauce is hot but mild enough to not destroy the taste of whatever you put on it. This style of hot sauce is also the type of sauce that is used in some of the best chilis.

For the the non-mexicans

Sorry fellas, this is the real universal sauce

I keep it simple:

>Literally the exact same thing as standard Tabasco
>Fraction of the price

Fools

Step aside faggots.

Top tier store bought hot sauce

Crystalniggers RISE UP

Observe.
Simple, yet based.

Nothing else compares to this, except the one with garlic.

Surpassed in every conceivable way by this stuff

I see people here shitting on Frank's (that's cool it's really not that great) and Aardvark, but what's with the hate for Crystal, and ESPECIALLY Valentina's? Those are both great sauces with great balance between flavor and spice, especially Valentina's.

Crystal hot sauce is the same thing as Tabasco, only it's a fraction of the price.

It really can't be beat for me.

Two suggestions. Try Crystal (brand) or Louisiana hot sauce (style). It's a watery, vinegar based sauce and works great with anything. Good tangy taste, mild heat.

Consider making your own. It's very easy. Here is my recipe. 2 cups of buffalo wing sauce, 1 Roma tomato, 4-8 whole habaneros, a few dashes of Crystal sauce, a few slices of yellow onion, blend it all up in a blender and cook for a few minutes then store in a bottle.

for me it's vark, crystal, and of course tapatio and cholula. Racha every now and again of course.

Any recommendations for my tastes?

You can buy this and pictured relatively cheap off amazon. Neither are ridiculously hot, but they're very flavourful and will give you the kick you're looking for.
