Hot Sauce

Post by **Κracus** » Mon Mar 19, 2018 1:56 pm

What's your favorite Hot Sauces? I've been on a hot sauce kick the last few weeks primarily due to watching too much Hot Ones on youtube. Check it out if you haven't it's a great show. That said, I've bought several Franks red hot sauces, buffalo seems to be my favorite at the moment but I've also bought some Hot Louisiana and one bottle of Rebel Jolokia Ghost pepper hot sauce. Let me tell you something about ghost pepper hot sauces, they are not to be fucked with.

I put a dab of that last one and tasted it straight and the heat lasted about 30 - 40 minutes. It was pretty crazy the first minute but actually tastes really good after. Anyone here have any favorite sauces that have some spice and taste good?

Buffalo sauce for sure.

Franks has a recipe right on their website for a buffalo chicken dip that is excellent.

Yeah I really like it too, it needs to be just a touch hotter though, it's a bit too mild but it does taste great. If you like Franks Buffalo sauce try the Louisiana Hot, they taste similar on wings but the Louisiana is just a bit hotter.

They do have a hotter variant. Too hot for my taste though.

I just use Frank for dip and such since its cheap. If I'm making some wings I get sauce from B-dubs.

Oh damn I never saw that one at the store!

Pretty sure I've mentioned before that I grow hot peppers and make my own sauce. It's pretty yummy.

Kracus, the flavor of ghost peppers imo is inferior to other super hots like the trinidad scorpion for example. Try a sauce made from them or a 7 pot primo/carolina reaper sauce.

As for bottled sauces, I recommend this stuff...

I don't think I've seen them either but I am on the other side of the planet

Re: Hot Sauce, I like the Peri Peri brand and of course the any of the Tabasco varieties.

Thanks for the pic PhoeniX, been so long since I posted up a pic I couldn't get it to work,(sigh), old people!

PS: Thanks for the link, that was cute,(LOL)

Shiracha is a staple at my house.

Also, banana ketchup is pretty good, though more sweet than spicy, like Asian plum sauce. It was created in the Philippines during WWII due to a tomato shortage and an abundance of bananas.

I also love Sichuan chili oil, Lao Gan Ma makes some good and spicy bottles. In addition, any kind of food with Sichuan peppercorns is an excellent compliment or alternative to chili peppers, it produces a mild numbing sensation.

Very interesting obsidian as I'd never heard of the banana ketchup (sauce). I found a simple recipe here i might try.

Banana ketchup, sounds pretty good actually, have to see if I can find some of that

Ah cool man I didn't know. I like the ghost pepper sauce, I actually made some wings last night with it but I didn't go straight, I mixed it in with some Hot Louisiana and it was really good. I'll probably have to order something online to get a reaper or scorpion pepper sauce as nothing in town has it in stock. I think the ghost pepper sauce is the hottest one I could find. I've also heard of El Yukateco but is again, another sauce no one stocks so I'll have to order online. That's actually one of the sauces they use in the hot ones youtube show I mentioned.

What kind of peppers do you grow? How do you grow them? (indoors, outdoors?) and how hard is it to grow them? The more I'm dabbling with these the more I'm thinking of doing the same. Gonna be setting up a garden soon anyway to grow some bud might as well throw some hot peppers in there.

The Yucateco red habenero is a very tasty and hot sauce. It's worth ordering a bottle, see if you like it.

I just grow a few pepper plants on my back deck every summer. Pepper plants aren't hard to take care of. I've grown a variety of super hots, ghost, chocolate ghost, trinidad scorpion, carolina reaper, 7 pot primo, brain strain, chocolate scorpion and probably a couple others i'm forgetting. I've also grown some other non-superhot strains like brazilian starfish which is a really nice plant and pepper.

I could mail you some seeds. I was supposed to mail some to Chopov and never got around to it. :/

Someone at work bought some ghost chili's today. He ate one whole, and looked like he was about to die for the next five minutes

Yep we grew Bhut Jolokia/Ghost Pepper in the hot house this year and we sampled a small piece each yesterday. Fucking fire and brimstone for 3-4 minutes.

Have saved the rest to prank a few hardcases at the office.

Sadly/fortunately, our Carolina Reapers didn't fruit at all this year. Ah well.

I tried to grow some chillies a couple of years ago from some seeds which I'd harvested. I had about 8 plants all starting to do really well (a few cm each) then one night a mouse got in the house and ate them all

I have 3 Moruga Scorpions growing at the moment. Still in mason jars. But they are healthy as fuck on a maxibloom diet.

Good times.

I haven't tried eating an actual chilli yet, just sauces. What's the difference between eating a very hot ghost pepper sauce vs eating a ghost pepper I wonder?

the ghost pepper will be hotter than the sauce.

Sauces tend to be a quicker burn, whereas with the pepper itself you get more of the oil and it dissipates slower. The addition of vinegar in the sauces can really amp up the initial burn though, plus you get other ingredients in the sauces so the flavor is usually better.
