Is it ironic that those two sauces aren't really that hot? πŸ˜‚

Delicious, yes! But very low on the Scoville scale for hot sauce.

Is Tabasco delicious? I find the Sriracha from couple of years ago delicious (the current one is much worse), but Tabasco always tasted like a white vinegar mixed with capsaicin.

the only hot sauce i've yet to actually find appealing is sambal olek, somehow the heat in that just makes me salivate and kinda feels more like sourness, as opposed to everything else where it's just pain and like.. no real flavour? with sambal olek i can actually taste the flavour in it.

Yeah, Tabasco is the weakest link when it comes to hotsauce. Sriracha definitely is a step up, but even that has to move aside for the Buldak Sauce.

Buldak has become my go-to hotsauce. It's so damned good.

Valentina is my favorite. Both the black and yellow labels are good, but I like drenching shit with the yellow (milder one).

Valentina is really tasty. Cholula is also nice.

None are HOT, though. πŸ˜‚

Exactly! Delicious.

Tabasco sauce, and the peppers, are good for some foods, not so much for others. There is no ULTIMATE hot sauce, just what works.

Tobasco is great on pizza, but that's about all I use it for.

Tabasco is my breakfast hot sauce. Goes on omelettes, sausage, etc. More flavor than spice, really, just a little kick.

Yeah, Tabasco is overrated. Get Louisiana Hot Sauce instead. A little less heat, but tastes waaaay better.

Sriracha is now completely random from bottle to bottle. It goes from Tabasco to Carolina Reaper with no visual indicator. Turns out fucking over your loyal farmers and having to constantly scrounge has negative consequences…
