Valentina regular or black label
Chipotle tabasco
Current favorite is Cosmic Disco by Karma Sauce. It's blazing hot with some great Asian accents that make it perfect for most of what I cook at home.
Tobasco or a mild cherry hot sauce
I haven't tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I'm eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy's when I can get them.
Trappey's Bull is good. Also have a few varieties of Tabasco (jalapeno, scorpion pepper, cayenne & garlic), and some made by the students at a local culinary program.
Marie Sharp's
Funky Monkey Banana Rum hot sauce. Cant find it anymore
Queens Majest Ginger and Scotch Bonnet is fantastic
Cholula Chipotle is my go to standard since its available broadly
Thats the one! Imma have to have a word with the guy that said they dont make it anymore.
Thanks!
Professor Phardtpounderβs Colon Cleaner.
my favorite used to be a sauce named "amor" that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.
it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank's hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.
the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i've been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.
All that buildup only for heartbreak in the last sentence!
Jethro's Naga Fire or Lord Reaper.
Torchbearer Garlic Reaper Sauce. Well, before alcohol, hot sauce, and pain meds fucked my stomach up. Be careful kids
Whatever nozzle fits in my ass best so I can boof it.
Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That's how perfect it is.
I like both but for different reasons. Valentina is thick and has a very vinegar tang, great if I want a punchier mouthful of sauce like on tacos. Cholula tends to blend in with the food, makes for a more even heat, plus the variety of flavors is awesome.
kinda boring if thats your perfect. To each their own i guees, but i hope you keep trying new ones as time goes by, theres so many varieties they arent all good for the same uses
Some good producers, Queens Majesty, Hot Ones, Heartbeat
Hot ones barbacoa is fantastic, Queens majest Ginger and scotch bonnet is so flavourful, secret Aardvark habenaro is amazing on pizza.
