It's too bad Bayou Country doesn't have the kind of hot sauce sampling it used to, but hie thee hence anyway. You can try six or seven of their sauces on popcorn (and a dozen or so more down at the French Market, before the flea market).

here i am thinking Sylvia's is some wonderful thing....of course I also thought "The Neverending Story" was scary when I was younger..

There was a silly article in Where Y'at (aka Where's the Gambit) a couple months ago about the Melinda's people and the New Orleans hot sauce underground--I'll see if I can find it.

New Orleans hot sauce underground! How the hell was I not a part of that?

"Burned At The Stake" is a habanero sauce that is really thick and has a great flavor.

Man, Tep had terrible taste in hot sauce (except for Sriracha).

lol that's showing good initiative. First time I had sriracha and peanut butter was awesome, so I am imagining a peanut butter, banana, sriracha sandwich.

Sriracha is kind of scary because eventually you won't find food appetizing without it.

<img src="http://www.melindas.com/bottles/xxxxhot.jpg";> A Belizean style hot sauce, habaneros for heat, carrots and mangos for sweetness, key lime juice for acidity. Available by the gallon, which I've bought for friends.

Pretty comparable to the original, Marie Sharpe's:

which is consistently rated among the top hot sauces on the planet by critics who collect hundreds of the things.

can't handle hot sauce, even before reflux issues. masochists!

i don't really consider pickapeppa hot sauce, but it is good shit. the kind of sauce where i'll crave a steak as a delivery mechanism for pickapeppa.

The Lost Boys Buff Guy Playing Sax (rockapads), Thursday, 19 March 2009 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

I'm a fan of many of the aforementioned sauces, particularly Melinda's, Yucatan, Iguana, etc.

But for my $$, there's a local sauce in Portland called Secret Aardvark that is a mind (and mouth) blower:

I don't know if you can order it. I buy bottles at local restaurants. Yum!

Nate Carson, Thursday, 19 March 2009 21:32 (seventeen years ago)

just got hip to Sriracha, it's gone on almost every hot dish i've eaten in the last month. never liked pickapeppa. love red rooster (probably like it for the saltiness more than the spiciness)

peace pipe to youur lips (tremendoid), Thursday, 19 March 2009 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

I recently saw a bottle of "mild" Sriracha that has a Unicorn on it instead of a Cock? Can't find an image but it was nice and tangy.

Nate Carson, Thursday, 19 March 2009 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

Maybe I should start a thread, Search & Destroy: Mild Sauce Not Manly Enough for Hot Sauce Thread.

plenty chong (libcrypt), Thursday, 19 March 2009 23:12 (seventeen years ago)

frank's red hot is great stuff. good on so many things.

I like a bit of tabasco or frank's on pizza, really brings the flavour out.

Local Garda, Thursday, 19 March 2009 23:16 (seventeen years ago)

niche hot sauces are the only american food im jealous of, i pretty much have to survive on the thimble sized bottles of nandos peri peri you get here. anyone know a place in london with a good selection of this sort of sauce? incidentally my new favourite spicy sauce is the jack daniels chilli bbq which i dismissed as gimmicky idiot food but is actually fantastic.

straightola, Friday, 20 March 2009 11:45 (seventeen years ago)

you can get frank's in sainsburys.

I used to love the Cattlemens BBQ sauce but you never see it anymore, wonder did UK stores stop importing it.

Local Garda, Friday, 20 March 2009 11:48 (seventeen years ago)

I love Encona hot sauces, esp the papaya one which is unfortunately a bit harder to find than the standard one.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Friday, 20 March 2009 11:52 (seventeen years ago)

straightola you just need to look in differnet ethnic grocers, they usually have good selections e.g sriracha, encona &c

just sayin, Friday, 20 March 2009 12:03 (seventeen years ago)

encona is no problem to get, i used to get it when i lived in derry. its the more niche ones im after like melinda's or marie sharps but without coughing up a fiver a bottle online. helps if youve a big carribean population handy, tescos tends to stock the full encona range. i cant usually stomach the rotting fish smell of the actually carribean shops round our way

straightola, Friday, 20 March 2009 12:14 (seventeen years ago)

i went to a chili festival a couple of years back and dipped a small bit of bread into this sauce called something like "journey to the heart of the sun" which the guy selling it told me contained a chili-derived chemical that polar explorers spray their vehicles with to ward off polar bear attacks. i have never had anything like it in my mouth in my life. i vaguely recall scaring a young family by running around with sweat dribbling out my ears.

the next grozart, Friday, 20 March 2009 12:14 (seventeen years ago)

i had some amazing stuff in harvey nicholls in manchester one time but i think going all the way across london for overpriced niche sauces is one step beyond

straightola, Friday, 20 March 2009 12:19 (seventeen years ago)

I once put a drop of Dave's Insanity Sauce on a tortilla chip. It caused my lips to blister instantly. I was going to send a photo the company but instead I hid in shame with the curtains drawn until I healed.

Nate Carson, Friday, 20 March 2009 21:06 (seventeen years ago)

My favorite food is Sriracha on Tostitos (hint of lime)

too bad I can get neither here

lucked up (lukas), Friday, 20 March 2009 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

Why can't we just enjoy moderately hot sauce in moderation, guys?

the chunkier the hot sauce the more likely I want it to be in the fridge. I put harissa and chili garlic in the fridge. But I also can't be bothered looking at the contents of all the small batch new hot sauces to figure it out.

I don't mind putting cold hot sauce on hot food. it's usually with guac or a cold veg or a raw fish thing. Or for my eggs I have to usually wait for the eggs to cool off a bit anyway.

My brother brought me back a couple of bottles of Lombok Kuning from Makassar, Indonesia. It works pretty well in places where I would use Yucateco - a similar heat level.

o. nate, Sunday, 12 January 2020 03:17 (six years ago)

I forgot about Melinda’s Naga Jolokia. This is the go-to for when I want to actually sweat

El Tomboto, Sunday, 12 January 2020 22:45 (six years ago)

bought some kimchi-based hot sauce and it's salty but I really like it. Also bought some gochujang, it's really good

Dan S, Sunday, 19 January 2020 05:24 (six years ago)

five months pass...

just had a lazy improvised fryup with onions, garlic, green bell peppers and chestnut mushrooms, cabbage and some Encona hot pepper sauce. i'm not joking it was the fucking biz!

calzino, Tuesday, 7 July 2020 01:07 (five years ago)

going to do the same tomorrow with some egg fried rice on the side for dinner.

calzino, Tuesday, 7 July 2020 01:10 (five years ago)

made my own

seems pretty good !

||||||||, Friday, 17 July 2020 10:40 (five years ago)

was pretty easy too - takes a bit of time fermenting the peppers but after that was a piece of piss

||||||||, Friday, 17 July 2020 10:41 (five years ago)

the encona extra hot is very good, not taken with regular encona though.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 17 July 2020 10:50 (five years ago)

The Rancho Gordo Rio Fuego is really good. Not insanely hot, but a ton of depth.

Tōne Locatelli Romano (PBKR), Friday, 17 July 2020 13:06 (five years ago)

six months pass...

Ordered some stuff from Heatonist (store that is connected with Hot Ones youtube show) and holy shit that garlic reaper sauce is so hot. I don't know why I keep wanting to eat it again! It's tasty for the few moments you can taste.

Evan, Monday, 15 February 2021 17:56 (five years ago)

I got a bottle of this for xmas as a stocking stuffer, just broke it open recently and GOT DAMN it is the saltiest hot sauce I've ever had. Good garlic flavor but the salt almost kills it.
