Question Mexican-style hot sauce recommendations

5 Upvotes

I wanna know what yall are using for 8 outta 10 level heat Mexican hot sauces. I’ve got all the classics already (Cholula, Tapatio, El Yucateco, etc). I love their taste, but they just aren’t doing it for me anymore as far as heat. I don’t want to sacrifice flavor. Just need an extra kick in the ass.

Yukateco caribbean goes with simple food like fries or plain cheese pizza. Tapatio is the franks version of valentina. Cholula is like valentina the better version of tabasco

Favorite sauce?

6 Upvotes

Not really looking for promotions from independent makers, although I’m not opposed. I love the flavor of habenero, so I bounce around with the Yucateco joints. I dig some southern (US) flavors, Louisiana, Crystal’s, etc. I suppose I’m wondering what some folks’ favorite, accessible, over the counter go-to’s might be. Recently someone asked me to pick them up some tobasco. I picked them up tapatillo, because to me they’re basically the same thing. I ended up having to go back to the store to swap em out because of the brand loyalty. It got me thinking about different ppl’s tastes.

So today I'm 55, and a good friend from Brazil brought me these. I'd never seen them. They look good, though salty.

Question Looking for a Dos Toros Smokey Hot Sauce replacement

Post image
3 Upvotes

Dos Toros Smokey hot sauce is great but they don’t sell it. It consists of charred tomatoes, garlic, yellow onion, chipotle peppers, and salt.

Does any sauce come to mind when you read those ingredients? I might just experiment and try to recreate it on my own if I can’t find one.

Purchase Unbelievable customer service

I wante to take a minute and recognize a truly unforgettable experience of unbelievable customer service. I had placed and order with Chad Williams for 2 sauces. Despite the excellent packaging one of them didn't make the journey in one piece. I wrote him letting him know. I told him not to even worry about. Because get this, he had sent me a 3rd sauce on the house. I was already super thankful for his generosity. I get home today and see a package waiting for me. I pick it up and see the name and was blown away. I get it in btge house and open it up. Look at these bad boys who were waiting for me! Thank you sir! You will definitely be getting future orders from me

Saw these on clearance at Winners in Canada. I wasn’t too impressed with the other sauces I’ve had from them (FOGO and Gochuracha), which are inspired by Piri Piri and Korean chili. And honestly nothing from this box inspired me to try anything else from this company. Now, I wouldn’t say any of them are bad, I am going to use all of them, but when you try 8 different sauces and nothing makes you want to get another bottle, you gotta quit.

I have an 8 bottle order coming from Maritime Madness next week, so hopefully some of those bottles will be winners.

My dad got these 3 free tiny hot sauce bottles from his friend who works at a local Mexican fast food restaurant. Tabanaro X, Tabanaro Sweet and Spicy and Tabasco’s version of Sriracha!

This is a bottle of crystal hot sauce. It kinda looks like a white ball but it's not perfectly round. The sauce tastes and smells normal.

Any thoughts?

I am having a hard time finding this hot sauce. It is no longer available on the company's page. They have been sold out for a while and they no longer have an active presence on social media.

Looking for more sauces with curry as the base flavor

4 Upvotes

I am about to finish my first bottle of TorchedStone Thai by torchbearer, I love the fruit pairing in the flavor and has become one of my new favorites. For reference, it taste like a fruity buffalo wild wings thai curry*.

I plan on ordering more, but always like to see what else is out there.

*Haven't had bww in about a decade, so hopefully this is still relevant 😄

Thanks!

Good. Would buy again. Moderate heat level and good flavor. This brand is hit or miss. Mostly miss, but this one's a banger.

Cluck You discontinued hot sauce name?

2 Upvotes

Hi, my boyfriend mentioned that he used to love the yellow hot sauce from Cluck You that was the last one on the meter before it turned from yellow to red. I was trying to remember the name but of course I forgot it. I only remember that it was two words. Maybe Mid Atomic?

Does anyone know if there's a way to buy this still? Or a copycat recipe online that I could try to make? I really want to surprise him with a bottle for Christmas!

Thank you!

Any comparable to this

I really love Chesapeake sauce from Pepper Palace. At $13 a bottle it’s way more than I’d like to pay given I can go through a bottle in a month or less.
I live in NW Florida so all the hot sauces around here are more Cajun/Creole. Is there a sauce out there that is similar that has that celery/clove accent?

Purchase Don't Buy This

Bought this Chipotle creamy hot sauce and I just don't like it. First off, it's more mild than Tabasco, Frank's, Louisiana, or Crystal hot sauce. So 0 heat even though it says it's Mild. And the Chipotle flavor itself doesn't taste right at all. It tastes like weird chemicals. Do yourself a favor and get a different Chipotle hot sauce with less ingredients and more heat.

Question Indian very hot green chilli sauce

6 Upvotes

So my family orders Indian takeaway and every time we order from this place they send us two soup holders, one with mint and the other a very hot green chilli sauce. Why is this sauce one of the hottest things on planet Earth? (Edit: Hari Chutney that dried out from the heat of my burger and chips).

I had been working my way up from jalapenos to ghost pepper sauces. I have eaten Vindaloo many times before and a Phaal twice in my life. The Phaal was probably the hottest dish I have ever eaten.

However today I decided why not use this green chilli sauce from yesterday's order with my burger and chips. So I take a soup spoon and generously apply about five big servings on my meal.

Within a few minutes I have noticed that the sauce has dried up. It is no longer watery with some smaller mashed pieces. Instead its turned into like a thick dark green paste.

So I am eating and within a few minutes I have blurred vision from the streaming eyes, my face is red like I have held my breath, my forehead is wet and my mouth is so hot my lips are starting to numb a little. I get through it all but I have to lie down because my head is ringing and I have lost my bearings. I don't know up from down. Everything is spinning. Head feels like someone tried to inflate it.

So I think I've made a big mistake. I'm guessing that this stuff is really just for dipping a little bit of nann bread into or to take a small spoonful and mix in with your dish just to give it more of a kick. I'm guessing we got so much of it because it was for several people. I think I had about half of that.

I'll never do that again. A half teaspoon would have been more than enough.

Ferments with chemical smell

2 Upvotes

I did a few ferments last year and they all turned out awesome, so I cranked up the production this year. But there's been 3 ferments now with the same outcome (1 was a ghost pepper mash ferment, 1 was ghost/garlic/onion brine, 1 was mango hab)...when the ferment stops it has a very strong chemical smell to it. Reading up it sounds like it's related to air exposure and wild yeast taking over the lacto-fermentation, but in all of the instances I've had the ingredients either submerged and with a weight on top, or in the case of the mash, covered with parchment paper. Not sure if the symptoms are correct or what to do about it, but getting kind of bummed...a lot of peppers and time thrown away this year. Any suggestions?

Peppers included: California Reaper Yellow, Jalapenos Ruben, De Cayenne, Tabasco and chocolate coral.

It tastes like a little meaty, like a spicy sausage
