So what's the best hot sauce? [NSFMAYO]
Posts
My hot sauces alternate between Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's and whatever little sample bottles people give me. I' not really looking to hurt myself with painful pooping, just looking for flavor.
I ate some hard-boiled eggs with Frank's dripped on top yesterday with dinner. Yummy.
I guess that is why it is a toxin.
I wonder if any hot sauces use the naga jolokia.
there's like ten different flavors and all of them are sold and put on burrito's at this place called roburrito's about 10 minutes from my school
single most delicious burrito ever
but it's got a really really nice flavor and it's not super hot.
So I walk into the house I was sharing with my sister and her husband at around 5 o'clock, I had just gotten off work. My very sketchy brother in law says "Hey you have to try this hot sauce, it's the greatest!" As he's pouring about a tablespoon of the said hot sauce over a biscuit. I love hot sauce and so does he, but he's also an asshole, and even though this situation has happened before and ended with trying a new tasty hot sauce I did not trust him because he is an asshole. I said you eat it.
He ate it, all in one bite! I was being silly, he was just trying to be nice and I am the asshole!
I quickly douse a biscuit with this hot sauce and shove into my mouth anticipating the deliciousness that was about to be all up in there. As I close my lips and look up, my eyes meet the eyes of my brother in law. He has been poisoned! This great man that shares his hotsauce is dying before my eyes. Then it clicks.
*click*
He was the asshole all along!
Has almost no flavor but is very hot.
Not terribly hot but it is so very, very delicious.
Then I found Sriracha. That stuff is the best.
If I am at a restaurant, I will take whatever is not tabasco, because fuck tabasco. Cholula is pretty good if I can't get the first two.

I didn't know Druhim made a hot sauce!
Hmmm. Maybe there's a way to increase whichever ingredient contributes to the spiciness? I don't know.
You can add more chipotle peppers. The peppers I use are pretty hot. One pepper ground up or cooked for a while in 1 cup of sauce will make it spicy. Two will make it hot, but still palatable to most people. Three will bring out a sweat.
You could also substitute scotch bonnets for the chipotle's but I love the smoked flavor of the chipotle pepper and it adds a lot to the recipe. This also makes a great barbecue sauce.
Mayo is like the easiest thing you can possibly make besides scrambled eggs or a PBJ.
Seriously, it's like vegetable oil and egg yolk. Hold on while I find a recipe.
EDIT: Ahh yes, I knew it was from our good friend Alton.

I like to mix some ground hot pepper in the mayo and spread it on a hamburger with an over-easy egg for a delicious breakfast.
