Hot sauce ... buying it.
Got a buddy that keeps me supplied with homemade HS .... his "mild" stuff 'cause he would kill me with his "killer" stuff
 Lou-eazy-Anna is my preferred off the shelf bottle. Any others? |

I have one, "Gringo Green." It has a vinegar green chili flavor and is just under Tabasco on the scale. The rest just burns and kills any flavor it may have on it's own.
Those two you can actually taste the flavor. 90% of the time we use fresh pico de gallo style. By the cup full. |

I grew up putting Tabasco red original on gringo tacos, so that’s always in stock. I keep the green Tabasco on hand for chicken tacos. Frank’s red hot for buffalo chicken wings. Louisiana original red, also.
I also keep Cholula’s, Melinda’s, El Yucateca on hand, usually both the cayenne based versions and the habanero based versions. From there, it becomes more random. Usually bottles I’ve gotten as a gift, or bought as an experiment. There are usually three or four of those laying around, in the past there might have been 10 or 20. I have one bottle of ghost pepper hot sauce that’s too hot to eat. |

from saint Maarten Guavaberry carib ghost my all time favorite. pre-covid we were on the island frequently enough to maintain a home supply. had to break down and order on line last year.
not a great online process but the hot sauce is worth it.

If the food needs 'hot sauce'....the food needs changing.

 !30 some years ago I was at Jazz Fest with a couple of friends that had flown in from CA ... so of course we had to spend some downtime in the French Qtr shops for their amusement. I still recall a bottle we saw that had them both giggling... "Smack My Ass & Call Me Sally" hot sauce. One of them actually bought a bottle. I never did find out if it was any good.... I called them both Sally the rest of the weekend Good times

Mrs mjohnson has Krystal on her amazon short list (we're in NM so not at stores)
The milder Melindas are a good gateway - and you can climb through the stupid-ceiling there as well. Most are fruity and pleasant rather than harsh and vinegar-y. And, duh, Cholula. (edit... and the yucateca, tastes like street food in the best of ways)

Ahem ... beware of Krystal hot sauce... prolly from that crappy burger chain! Crystal .... not bad stuff... but Louisiana is mo' better to me.
I grew up thinking Texas Pete Hot Sauce was the only hs in the world... as that's all I ever saw here. Made here locally and on every table .... not very hot, and his name isn't Pete either.... but I digress. It was rare if a place also had Tobasco on hand... but those were the only options back then  .

Hot sauces are one of the favorite things in my pantry. And it’s not that I can’t cook spicy food, there are hot peppers in more than half of the things I eat. What would shrimp and grits be without a hot sauce? A bloody Mary? A taco? One of life’s simple pleasures… |

[QUOTE=javadog;11442282]Food doesn’t need hot sauce, but quite a few things are enhanced by it.
The only foods that are enhanced by hot sauce....are foods that are bad to begin with...IMO

Lousiana Habenero Tabasco (jamaican jerk style)
Mrs. D puts it on my over easy eggs every day. She is awesome!

Rancho Gordo sells some killer beans. My annual cassoulet uses some of their finest.

Lets see, in the house today..
Tabasco, Original Red Louisiana, Orginal Red Trappey's Chamoys Valentina Depends on what I'm having with it. For the longest time, I was a Pace Picante fan, then Hell on the Red. Now there isn't any salsa or picante in the house. I have made my own sauce. Not worth it for me. I grew the habeneros and japs outside my front door for all visitors to help themselves. I had some chile pequins too, but everyone was forewarned. It was a good year for peppers, bumper crop.
