Hot sauce... what's your poison?

[vampyrewolf]

Just cracked a fresh bottle of Frank's original, have a small(350ish) bottle of Chili & Lime on the shelf, and a 3/4 bottle of sweet hot sauce in the fridge upstairs(have to check the brand on it).

I'm always putting hot sauce on my food. Not suicidal enough to try the stuff up in the higher ratings yet, I've already had one that took 2 beer to cool off from a wing.

Any other chiliheads here?

a dorctor my mother works with brought this stuff back from mexico.

I dont know the name, but it was hot. I couldant taste anything for about 11 hours.

It went in the garbadge. It made peper extract look like a little kid.

[silverback]

Yeah, I like it hot.
Got "da bomb: beyond insanity", a chili concentrate that's really hot. It'll eat holes into most tables (kidding).
One drop will normally spice up most dishes. (one drop in the pot, not on the plate)
Hotness is measured in "Scoville units", after Mr.Scoville. Tabasco, for example, has approximately 2200 Scoville units, while da bomb has a whooping 120000. Go figure... There are concentrates that max out at one million Scoville units for the suicidal eaters. :eek:
It's fun when you got friends who'll claim that food can't be hot enough. You warn them of da bomb, but of course they won't listen. Then they start to sweat and go pale. :D

But normally I'll just use chili peppers and curry paste to make hot food.

Oh yeah. But one of the bummers of getting old is you can't take it any more. Something you young pups won't understand until you get there. Enjoy it now.

I can still keep up with the best of 'em, but now I pay for it later.

I grow my own Red Savina's, and make a paste or sauce with lime or lemon..

I think it's pretty hard to beat tobasco & it's variations.

Fave hot sauce for putting on eggs: Trinidad habanero

Fave habanero sauce: man, too many to mention, right? I really like Harry's Habanero, and Mo Hotta Mo Betta is great too

Mo Hotta Mo Betta has a pretty great chipotle also.

I like Frontera's jalapeno

[ghostrider]

My latest craze is the Chipotle flavored Tabasco Sauce. I like that smoked pecan flavor, and often mix it with Thousand Island dressing for my salads. I have, in the past, used Dave’s Insanity Sauce, and Dr. U.B. Burnin. Just can’t remember when or what that was. I also once used over half a bottle of After Death to make some blackened steaks (just for giggles and kicks). The steaks were great, but a six-pack of beer couldn’t stop the tears from running down my face. I wasn’t crying, just tears.

I buy Franks redhot by the gallon, not real hot but the flavor is great. Chipoltle chilie powder is real good too. Jalapenio jelly with cream cheese is great at parties.

Texas Pete's

2nd choice - Louisiana Gold

[Michael Cook]

:p For real heat either "endorphin rush" or "dave's insanity sauce". :p

[Piet.S]

Being Dutch means the Chinese-Indonesian kitchen from a collonial past. The stuff to spice it up is called Sambal, it comes in a number of variaties. Normal people need only a knifepoint on their plate while some use it quite liberal. I tell my children they can't have it cause its Dragon sauce.

[vampyrewolf]

Yeah, I like it hot.

marcus: actually, it goes up to 16million units so far... :eek:

Hello all

I use "hot" sauces frequently but reading some of the posts here I have only been playing at it!

One I would like your comments on is made by Garden Row Foods in the USA and is called 'Endorphin Rush - Beyond Hot Sauce'
It is made from tomato paste, water, pepper extract, vinegar, sugar, molasses and soy sauce. I have bee told that it is a great sauce. :D

Regards, Ken

Good thread! I also enjoy eating hot. In warm meals I like Tabasco (basically all variations), hot curry paste and chili powder. For cold dishes like sandwiches, I prefer home made Sambal. My uncle loves that stuff and makes it on his own. The last time he made ~ 15 liters for himself and the whole family (we all love to eat hot and his Sambal is excellent). :D

Cheers, Rob

[spydutch]

That would be Sambal (just as Piet) I used to put spoons over and in almost anything I ate until I got bothered with stomach pains. Now I use it once in a while. Do still use a lot of pepper though.

Good day, all.

I can recall throughout my entire childhood my father making chili; the stuff was hot enough that on a cold day it would break out a sweat on your upper lip within two bites. :eek:

In his later years, it got so ridiculous that the sane would wait until his chili had been refrigerated and reheated a couple of times to tame it down before attempting to consume it.

This weekend marks the "Fire On The Mountain" Chili Cookoff, and my Lady and I will be there, Zantac in hand, awaiting opportunity to sample the best this region has to offer. The anticipation is killing me; I hope the entries do not. :D

Anyone have a quick source for asbestos lavatory paper?

Sounds like a worthwhile activity for the weekend Doc.

I worked with a woman who came from Huma, LA. I loved vacation time cause when she came back from visiting her dad, she brought all kinds of home grown treats. He had a special formula that he bottled up in those 10 oz. Coke bottles, weee ohhhh, can you say asbestos diaper? Yeah, I know what you're thinking and it might have had a touch of the "shine" in the recipe. All I know is ya added a little of that to a meat loaf mix and you had something that would make GE jet engine division proud.

wet wipes... seriously.

wet wipes... seriously.

LOL, you got that right!
I just noticed I forgot something: Sriracha hot sauce, something I found in my asian supermarket. Very nice, not vinegary, just a tomato hot sauce.
I didn't know that there are concentrates with 16000000 SCU! :eek:
A bottle of pure Capsaicin cristal must surely just be a novelty item...
Would anyone use that stuff?
You can make a fine sauce from honey, mustard and any habanero pepper concentrate. Add garlic and any spices you like.
Very tasty for barbecue.
