Let's talk hot sauce

[surviva316]

I've actually been thinking about this thread lately because I was recently startled to find that I actually really like Tapatio. I'm not a huge fan of vinegar-based hot sauces, but this one actually tastes like yummy peppers instead of being pepper-flavored vinegar (aka, ass).

[swiggidy]

Reading this with zoidbergs voice is pretty fucking win.

Hilarious

I was never impressed with the taste of the cock sauce, but was inspired to by a bottle because of this thread. Holy shit, it goes with everything. Count me as a fan.

Yeah, I can 2nd this.

The choices on the tables in the mexican restaurant at college were Tabasco or Tapatio, and so, OK, EZ choice... NOT Tobasco. I got to like Tapatio, and I agree with your assessment of vinegar-based sauces.

That said, I have Sriracha in my fridge now.

Oh yeah, make no mistake about it, Sriracha's still the big dick in town. There are just some foods where Sriracha doesn't quite match up as well as traditional hot sauces.

Eg: I make poorman's chorizo by buying cheap sausages and then marinating them in paprika mixed with hot sauce. Sriracha really doesn't work well with this. Also, it's not as good of a pairing with salsa verde.

But those are just the exceptions to the rule.

My range of sauces from Funky Chicken!

Going to be selling these on my website soon if any of you fancy it. (Sorry if this is Spam or something). I've only got my own, nearly empty bottles left as I sold out yesterday - making another load this weekend. I'm looking to get the labels printed properly as at the moment I'm just literally printing them at home...peel then stick.

Also have my own homemade Jalapeno Tabasco style sauce in the little bottle. I fermented it for 3months. Its pretty awesome, but too much hassle for me to make and sell.

The Jalapeno sauce is hot but has a really good flavour. Nice and fruity (I pretty much pick the chillies up from Heathrow airport and make the sauce that day).

The Scotch Bonnet is fecking fiery, but also has good flavour. But does burn!!!

[daviddem]

This weekend I am on to making my own sriracha with 100% Filipino "labuyo" peppers.

Will report here if I still have eyes and lungs after the cooking.

[mrhappy333]

I dunno what they put in this but I can't stop eating it. It's amazing.

we recently had some here. It really is great stuff.

The Dave's Insanity is pretty fucking hot also.

[a500lbgorilla]

I've finally acquired a taste for srirachi. It comes hand in hand with my acquiring a taste for black, factory coffee.

It's a flavorful and colorful outlet for the harshness of the budgeted world.

[Lukie]

Someone educate me here.

I have never used sambal oelek that I can remember, but from what I gather here it is basically just chilies with no other salt/spices/herbs, and it's used with the intent of making food hotter while not altering the taste.

Personally I use some 99cent spice classics ground red pepper. Sometimes I use cayenne pepper instead. Actually the spice classics ground red pepper might actually be cayenne pepper. Either way it's pretty much the same idea that it adds heat without adding flavor. Other times I use crushed red pepper-- same idea basically

Is there any pressing reason to use sambal instead? I guess it would go better on a sandwich or something where you need a little moisture.

Maxwell house, house blend

A pot a day keeps the doctor away.

[Savy]

Bought some of this to put on my burgers (which when I cba messing about can be a bit bland)



Does the job, but isn't anything fantastic.

[supa]

I actually really like cholula. It's a lot like tapatio but a more authentic flavor.

Sambal is fairly neutral, but has way more flavor than cayenne or crushed red pepper. Dried crushed red pepper also tends to distribute the heat unevenly compared to sambal. Try it, I like it a fair bit more as a general heat than either cayenne or dried red pepper.

[DoubleJ]

I actually really like cholula.

+1

There's also a Chipotle Cholula which is great too

[Renton]

In southeast asia almost every place has crushed chilis in oil and that shit is the bomb. Not really a hot sauce aficionado, I tend to use whatever is available but I'll give a 74th nod to cock sauce, its obv great.

[Pascal]

recognise that bottle, think they had it at this incred burrito place in belfast i used to be a reg at. really really nice

[NightGizmo]

I actually really like cholula.

Ditto. And it's very common to find Cholula in restaurants around here, if you ask for it. Love it on eggs/skillets.

[Luco]

Just tried some extra hot reggae reggae sauce. It's seriously damn tasty. Think Jamaican jerk sauce with scotch bonnet chili

pffffffffff. Full of glucose-syrup. Try my Funkin' Hot 100% Scotch Bonnet!

[Luco]

Sounds great, they are quite sweet all on their own. Prob my fave chilli right now.

[bode]

scotch bonnets are sweet?

Yeah srs. I think they're quite sweet anyway, once you get over the burn.

[WillburForce]

They are quite fruity....and fking hot!

[bode]

they are def. a very fruity pepper, but sweet is the last thing i would describe them as.

[surviva316]

WELL THEN YOU SIR WOULD NOT BE DESCRIBING SCOTCH BONNETS BY THE VERY WORD THAT IS QUITE APT FOR THEM NOW WOULD YOU?!?!?!

[eugmac]

[Luco]

If you could remove all the scovilles they would be sweeter than most I'm sure. When I use them in cooking I usually throw in the seeds and membrane too coz I'm a heat addict, just put some baby wipes in the fridge and you're golden

[Penneywize]

Yes, glad this thread was bumped so I can reiterate how fucking shitty hot sauce is in general. Fuck hot sauce, taste something else you mouth-breathers.

[supa]

My vagina smells funny after I eat spicy things.

[eugmac]

Gold star superlative.

[eugmac]

i like hot things and sadlly have never tried many of these sauces. I tend to just like to put fresh chillies into stuff. Dried works too if that's all we've got. Sriracha i've only used for Vietnamense pho, but you guys have inspired me to perhaps try it one day with other stuff like burgers.

[eugmac]

one time there was a very hot chilli that i got on my fingers early that day, and forgot about it. taking out my contact lenses in the evening was about the most painful experience i've ever had.

OMG this! Except I think I was putting mine in, not taking them out. I thought I'd washed my hands thoroughly after chopping the chilli, but the searing hot ball of pain in my eye begged to differ

[WillburForce]

Chopped chilies. Touched cock.

[Penneywize]

Haha sorry guys I was pretty tired and grumpy when I wrote that shit last night.

[surviva316]

Post vid of you eating an habenero whole, and all will be forgiven.

[ChipEaterMan]

[Luco]

Ghost chili and peaches. Not bad.

[eugmac]

i personally just bite into chillies straight. and then go "owww hot hot hot" and fuckin' love the pain.

[d0zer]

GTFO dickeaterman, spicy food doesn't cause hemorrhoids. That being said, if you already have them, you won't have a good time eating spice.

[jyms]

Ya, If I remember correctly, cultures that eat more spicy foods are supposedly in better gastrointestinal/colon health. I pretty sure that may have to do with those cultures eating a better overall diet compared to ketchup eaters but I remember it showing that it has no ill effects and a ton of health benefits.

[Chelle]

I was informed at my nieces 2nd birthday party that she LOVES hot sauce, by itself.

At the party there was a bottle of hot sauce, my niece found it, and cept insisting that my sister-in-law to keep putting more on her finger, and was then pouty and pitching a fit when she was denied more of the hot sauce. Then my brother told me when they were eating supper, he had a small dish of pickled hot tomatoes beside him that he was eating with some beans, and my niece reached over, got a tomato, ate it all cept the skin, and then went for another and another.

It doesn't surprise me because she's a hard-ass little girl with the face of an angel.

Meanwhile, in the south...

[WillburForce]

Funky Chicken Hot Sauce has gone global.

Sold 40 bottles to some dude in Dublin and 4 bottles (with more to follow if he likes it) to Canada.

[boost]

Nice! Bump your thread and give us an update on how the festival season is going.

[d0zer]

so I impulse bought a bottle of this stuff the other day because I can't remember ever having had it (featured on right):



It's basically frank's red hot. absurdly mild, vinegary but decent flavor I guess. The bottle lasted 4 days of making caesars (drink). It won't be purchased again.

Am curious about this funky chicken hot sauce.

[NightGizmo]

Cholula? Already discussed in this thread, starting at post 86.

[d0zer]

Cholula? Already discussed in this thread, starting at post 86.

Right you are sir, and it is good on eggs. but it is not even close to hot enough to be called hot sauce

It's a pretty tasty mild sauce tho... Better than frank's fwiw

[NightGizmo]

I agree. Despite not being very hot, I like having it around as a condiment for the taste.

[ChipEaterMan]

In my humble opinion Hot Sauce is AND1's best basketball player

[ChipEaterMan]

The Professor is amazing too

SOMEBODY BAN THIS BAD VIDEO POSTER

[WillburForce]

Nice! Bump your thread and give us an update on how the festival season is going.

Will do soon. Busy busy!

[Luco]

I want some funky chicken hot sauce now

I ate a scotch bonnet in my local grocers once. Shit was pretty hot, but I've become a bit of a heat freak over the last couple years so it's all relative.

[Pascal]

someone gave me chilli vodka a couple of weeks ago - the seriously hot stuff. my mouth burnt for about 5 minutes....

[boost]

I've come to enjoy the garlicky hot sauces less and less. Pepper flavor is fine, but generally I just want heat from a hotsauce now. If your food needs a strongly flavored hotsauce, it probably isn't all that good to start with.

FOOD SHOULD NOT HURT!

[Savy]

FOOD SHOULD NOT HURT!

Food tastes better when it does, it's been shown countless times. People get most enjoyment out of it when it's hot for them which for most people isn't very hot at all. That and hot sauces are mostly used to mask and overpower bland boring food doesn't really help the issue.

You'd be amazed how good bacon tastes when it's been cooked with a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.

[BananaStand]

As always you miss the point.

[BananaStand]

As always you miss the point.

No you insufferable twit, I didn't miss the point.

Just because I re-appropriated one of your statements to make a different point, doesn't mean I missed your point. I get that you think hot sauce makes tasty food tastier. No one cares. Side note though, you're wrong.

Also, bacon?? ew. Who looks at a pig and says "Hey look at that filthy animal eating garbage...I wonder what it tastes like?"

I feel the same way about lobster. They eat whale shit....how are they a friggen delicacy?

[OngBonga]

Banana, do you think that the meat that you do eat comes from animals who eat good fresh food with knives and forks?

I don't look at a pig rolling around in shit and think "I wonder what that tastes like?" because I already know it tastes fucking great.

[OngBonga]

Burgers come from animals who shit on the own dinner.

Look man, alot of stuff has to happen to cow turds before it becomes grass for the cows to eat all over again. I trust nature to sort out the garbage and keep it away from my end of the food chain.

On the other hand, you can crack open a lobster and actually find a belly full of whale shit. Who sees that and then says "i'll just eat around it"

[CoccoBill]

Unlike all those other animals that don't have any shit inside them.

[OngBonga]

Yeah alright I'll give you lobster.

But leave the pigs alone. They get sliced up and cooked, so there's no shit left behind.

You are what you eat. Cows eat nature's salads. Pigs eat garbage.
