― its gotta be HOOSy para steen (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver),

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.

totally true, even though it loses its initial ZING

<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.

Oh, on the Sriracha front:

Enjoying this a lot lately:

chumps don't like valentina

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.

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!

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

too bad I can get neither here

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

need to make this happen

^obv a Search

Sriracha, Cholula, and Tobasco Chipotle is all you'll ever need really.

you will need franks or red devil if you plan on making BUFFALO WINGS.

that is true. however, for wings i just use a mix of jack daniel's bbq w/some sriracha.

^ this sounds excellent. The sweetness of each should combine perfectly.

Also, Tapatio > Cholula

Tapatio just tastes better, though it doesn't have the slight vinegary taste I enjoy in Cholula

Sometimes the standards are the standards for a reason: I'm one of those "hot sauce people," and I've sampled many over the years, but I always come back to Tabasco (original variety) and Sriracha. I also regularly seek out freshly made Thai chili sauce from Asian markets.

There's also a great sauce called Clancy's Fancy, which is made in Ann Arbor, MI. I used to have it on hand all the time when I lived there, but haven't run across it since. I highly recommend this delicious concoction, should you happen to stumble across some.

Also, Tapatio > Cholula

gotta fite u here

uh oh

i say that because i taste more actual pepper (flavor) in Tapatio whereas cholula is a slight acid taste and more heat
I also see them as direct competitors to each other on college campuses and cheap taquerias, both Mexican hot sauces (vs. salsa).
I think salsa Bufalo is better than either as far as the Mexi sauces go. Their chipotle flavor is actually well done as I also don't usually like the chipotle flavors.
None of these are also all the spicy, too, but I like them on quesadillas, chips, sandwiches, easy things like that.

if a place has either of the 3 on hand (Bufalo, Tapatio, Cholula), i'm happy. I do have some Tapatio at home, but haven't had it in a long time. Need to do a Hot Sauce Challenge between that and Cholula.
