What’s the sauce on the right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Huy Fong branded Sriracha. It’s the worst option because they fucked over their pepper suppliers so the quality is terrible now. Get any other kind of Sriracha and it’ll be better.

Sriracha sauce, it’s really good

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Very good though neither of those are very hot.

I'm good with hot food, to the point I actually occasionally use nasty sauces like the infamous Da Bomb on things I legitimately eat, but I'll never get people that say sriracha isn't hot.

Maybe I buy a special one or something, or it varies wildly from person to person, but i like to put a good juicy squirt of sriracha on my cheese sandwiches and it definitely still clears my sinuses quite effectively.

There’s really high variation between bottles after the pepper suppliers fiasco.

It's spicy but it's not really hot but I do think it might indeed be a palette thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or just personal definition, i see you use spicy, but I just call everything that can give me the sniffles "hot".

When I say something's spicy I'm usually referring to literally a large amount/variation of spices, which aren't necessarily hot at all.

What about pepper, it's not hot it's spicy but enough will 100% make your eyes water and burn your mouth.

Nothing actually said "hot" though

Tabasco https://www.tabasco.com/ #1 Hot Sauce Asked For By Name | TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce

Clearly hot sauce was never implied, not once.
