I use this one to add heat to dishes like you OP. Or I'll put some in a dipping sauce to make it spicy.
Typically I don't really use a lot of hot sauce on my food, but I have a preference for Cholula, Tapatio, Tabasco, Texas Pete's, there are a few others I can't think of.

>>153444

This thread reminded me that I haven't watched Hot Ones in like a year. I bought their hot sauce when it came out last year, it was alright, not very hot, though.

>>153444
Not hot sauce, but I just had a particularly spicy experience. With my modest dinner (steak and curried rice), I had 3 small slices off of a hot pepper out of my close friend's green house. The 3 pieces totaled to about the same space that 6 or 7 grains of rice would occupy. I'm sweating, and I got dat pre-nasal drip. Fucking nodding hard. I packed the rest of the pepper up in a bag in my fridge to eat more tomorrow. The pepper was a carolina reaper, hotter than both the ghost pepper and the trinidad scorpion. It's a hybrid pepper (I believe of those two other peppers actually) and is the hottest in the world. In terms of heat, I'd put it roughly on par with that .357 sauce.

>>153444
Pic related, Sriracha is the best motherfucking hot sauce i have ever eaten.

Also i once ate something called Mega-Death-Sauce, because i wanted something hotter than the usual and understood 'Megadess'.
I cried man, i cried.

>>153518
Yo I used to have mega death years ago. I ate it all, but before that I used to give it out to my friends. Maybe we're friends.

I ate so much sriracha that I can never eat it again (at least not a lot of it)

I go to this local hot sauce/spicy food store where my old high school math teacher makes his own hot sauce, even authorized band hot sauces for Fu Manchu, Flaming Lips, Eyehategod, Goatwhore, High on Fire, Venomous Maximus (his band), a local band called Amplified Heat, and this really badass spicy BBQ sauce (named after a local festival). Seriously the best sauces I've ever had, perfect balance of flavor and heat. But I also usually get this Thai Ketchup, Secret Aardvark, and usually something different to try something new at the store.

I highly recommend checking their website (iBurn.com) for all your spicy needs, I highly recommend Big Daddy brand (that's my HS teacher's, seriously the best stuff ever)

>>153549
But they also sell ground up spicy pepper blend (like roasted ghost pepper) so that you can add a dash of spiciness without diluting or ruining the flavor of your dish by adding too much flavorful sauce, I highly recommend it!

>>153549
Have you tried the Goatwhore, High on Fire, or Fu Manchu sauces?

I'd buy them just for the bottle/label.

>>153582
to my dismay, it seems that the goatwhore sauce is some kind of black pepper flavored barbecue sauce or something? It actually does sound like it could be pretty good, but I was expecting something more intense.
Oh well, at least that way I'll finish the bottle sooner and can have a new decoration.

>>153582
Whooooooah, stoner rock hot sauces!
I gotta order this shit!

It is important that people hear about this sauce. It isn't hot compared to .357 (at all) so it's probably something everybody can enjoy. I'd put it a small bit above tobasco sauce in terms of heat. It doesn't do it for me in that regard, but the flavor is so good that I still eat it frequently. It's called Iguana Radioactive Atomic Pepper Sauce, and it's a sharp smelling sauce, with a bite of vinegar in the aroma. It's also saltier than most (not more than franks or other mainstream sauces), coming in at 100mg sodium per serving (24 servings in that tiny bottle!). The strong mix of vinegar and salt with the habaneros, cayennes, and tabascos is reminiscent of buffalo sauce, but without all the artificial flavors associated with most buffalo sauces. If you don't like buffalo, don't let that scare you off. Trust me.

The ingredients are: Habanero, Cayenne, Tobasco, Carrot, Corn Vinegar, Onion, Lime Juice, Tomato Paste, Salt, Garlic, and Ascorbic Acid.

The link to the company's webpage about the sauce is below:

>http://www.halfmoonbaytrading.com/sauces/iguana-radioactive-atomic-pepper-sauce#&slider1=3

The reason I put the effort into making this nice post is because this sauce is really worth the $6. Order some now from Amazon someone who doesn't suck and you'll thank me when you get around to trying it. I'm about to have some right now, and I've almost burned through the whole bottle in just a month or two.

>>153582
yo sorry for bailing on this board/post; back with an update. And Goatwhore is peppercorn based, it is not as intense as the EHG (which I think is most intense) but it still has a good kick highly recommend in mixing it with stuff that naturally has peppercorns like white tx gravy; Fu Manchu is more mustard base, not intense but good kick, High on Fire is more habanero base so it is spicier than all three but has that natural sweetness of a habanero.

>>153688
btw im >>153549

Frank’s Red Hot Xtra Hot Buffalo and Original sauces are my go to but I also like Sriracha and Tabasco. I did also really like this one pepper sauce when I studied in Barbados but I forgot which one it was.

Sounds a lot like possibly Bajan pepper sauce.
>>153781
noice m8, tell me how you like em when you get to try em.

>>153807
yeah it’s Bajan pepper sauce but forgot the brand name of it unless thats what it is.

Quit editing all your posts, you're making this place look like circlejerk

>>153812
why don't you google sauces of that nature and see what looks familiar?

>>153822
stop being an ass, you're making this place look like fourchan; faggot.

>>153824
I AM ASS AND I'LL KICK IN YOUR BACK DOOR FOR A SHIT

>>153549
dis me; so i'd figure i'd update from word from the sauce boss himself, Big Daddy, that there is another sauce in the works/been made and ready for mass production soon. Don't know the exact details on what it could be, or even the band, just know it's a legendary TX band. My first thought was ZZ Top, but just remembered the dude is also good friends with Butthole Surfers. So might be the latter.

>>153850
nice. Pantera would be dope too.

much too good for children

>>153984

I bought their first Hot Ones sauce, was pretty good. I'm hesitant about this one because I fucking hate mustard with a passion. I kind of want to try their hot sauce of the month membership thingy, though.

got some of this for crimmus, it's pretty okay. little flavor for a lot of pain

>>154090
I disagree. That's one of my favorite Dave sauces. It tastes delicious, though it is spicy.

this shit is dope

Most of my collection. About half of these came in hot sauce gift baskets. I highly recommend it. The company that makes the baskets is called Dat'l Do It. They make these "around the world" gift baskets and I haven't found many that I don't like. Most of them aren't super hot but they all have great flavor.

>>154117
That sounds like something an alcoholic would say.

>>154107
that sounds good, I'm a big fan of benero sauces

>>154117

sounds like you have a serious problem with impulse control. how many STDs do you have?

>>154118
He reminds me of my dickhead brother that would always drink my booze like it's going to spoil while stashing away anything he bought.

>>154117
That depends on the size of the bottle. But I'm with you on this.

>>154107
That stuff is really good, I approve

>>154117
They're all like 3/4 full because I'm constantly switching it up

>>154116
Yo homie I see dat Blair's Megadeath in the corner. Les' go mane

Got some more intel on the upcoming sauce from Big Daddy (maker of those in post >>153549); the band is Butthole Surfers and the flavor profile mole (for the uninitiated, mole is a typical enchilada/sauce in Mexican cuisine; see pic).

Personally, I never dug mole (and it ain't a spicy sauce either) so this might be a pass on my end.

but also apparently the dudes of the Butthole Surfers are requesting it "to look like diarrhea" (as if it didn't already lol...) but also Big Daddy Trev himself is having a tough time perfecting it

>>154458
dude's got badass taste in music

>>154459
And some of the finest hot sauces ever dude, I highly recommend them.

>>154466
Which ones are your favorites? I know I asked about specific bands but I didn't ask which ones are your favorites I don't think.

>>154458
What we know about your high school math teacher

>listens to metal and bands on the periphery of that scene. But probably not periphery, that'd make a lame hot sauce.
>probably smokes weed or did once and remembers it fondly
>Good sauce?

>>154467
Honestly, I may be bias but I honestly think they're all individually good and have unique flavor profiles that it all comes down to what flavor you want/the dish you have and personal taste, they're honestly all good and I always keep them all in rotation. So here's a quick run down of each band's hot sauce;
Venomous Maximus - blackberry worstershire
Amplified Heat - smoked jalapeños
Flaming Lips - pineapple habanero
Orange Show - spicy BBQ sauce with orange zest
Fu Manchu - mustard
Goatwhore - black pepper
High on Fire - habanero (which has a natural sweetness but obviously strong heat)
EyeHateGod - honestly forgot its exact flavor, other than it being one of, if not, the hottest out of all of them.

>>154477
I don't know exactly what you mean by periphery, as he's not exactly on the outside of this scene as he's clearly making these sauces with these bands' permission, artwork, style, trademark, or whatever you want to call it. But also, he has a metal band himself (his is Venomous Maximus) while I will admit probably not the biggest name on the sauce list but they're all connected to him by being friends and/or gone on tour with the bands like EHG, High on Fire, and I know he went to school with people from Butthole Surfers and Steven Drozd from Flaming Lips.

so yes, he probably still smokes weed lol

>>154478
but if I had to choose 2, it'd be Flaming Lips and Fu Manchu

>>154478
Should have said

>Periphery of the genre.

There's multiple music festivals in which half those bands have played over the years. The other half probably wouldn't fit in, but if they did end up on the lineup they'd probably still draw a crowd.

>>153444
Today I got the sauce in OP's pic, "357 MAD DOG", in my eye. It was fucking bad guys. I was driving when it happened too. I couldn't open my eye for 15 minutes without experiencing extreme burning, like infinite wintergreen freshness kinda but that's more painful than it sounds, and I had to flush it out for 10 minutes straight when I got to the Asian restaurant. My eyes are beginning to water up just thinking about it, and it still hurts an hour and a half later.

I won't explain how I got it in my eye, but I was bringing it to the restaurant to show the owner and waitresses (it's a family business). They're Indonesian so they like spicy food, but when I went in yesterday (I'm a feen), they didn't have any fresh hot peppers. I brought the sauce not just to show them, but also to make up for the lack of hot peppers, but they ended up having the hot peppers today, and they even gave me 4 to take home!

Pic is what I had, Singapore Style Rice Noodles (prepared vegan) w/fresh thai chili/cayenne hybrids (I think that's what they were at least, after talking to my friend). There's also sashimi maguro (tuna), and a Green Dragon Roll. Everywhere I've gone, the Green Dragon Roll is an eel + avocado roll, but this one was very bizarre (and delicious). It was avocado, carrot, gobo root, kanpyo (shaved exotic gourd), and oshinko (japanese savory pickled radish) with what may have been eel sauce. From what I read, all the japanese stuff in it is really healthy (kanpyo, gobo, oshinko, and seaweed wrap). It was all exceptionally delicious, and I had the munchies when I ate it which made it even better, plus I had just gotten an hour of exercise in- basically the ideal conditions for appreciating a meal in my opinion.

>>154843

>hassles chef to make you a special vegan version
>still eats the flesh of animals

wow.

>>154844
Some items are just vegan. Sometimes that's even the best recipe/way to do them.

I mean if he did that, it's fucked up but maybe not. If you've got a dish that is best served without animal products you're going to slap "vegan" on the menu and get into that rapidly growing market.

>>154843
that sucks, especially since 357 isn't much of a tasty sauce just straight unpleasant heat and you just wasted your money on bad sauce for the sake of heat.

>>154844
What >>154845 said. It was hardly a hassle for the chef, otherwise he probably wouldn't have sent me home with extra chilies as a gift. I'm not vegan for the record. I eat fish. I just prefer that dish without shrimp.

>>154847
Yeah that's like, your opinion, man.

/nom/'s a bit hostile today.

>>154855
I don't get piscetarian unless it's for purely healthy though. I mean if you stop eating fish and don't live in Africa or somewhere as sunny your descendants will be chalky white boys like me I guess. But still for environmental or ethical reasons I think its silly. Less sense still if you avoid eggs and milk (unless that's for dietary reasons, again). I've got nothing against vegans though the preachy ones are almost as obnoxious as preachy anti vegans.

/nom/ is always hostile. It's hyperbole and bluster over nothing and that's the fun. There's usually an element of facetiousness to the rage though.

>>154912

yeah this is one of the last boards left where the anger is still 99% playful satire. it hasn't rotted into actual hatred like most of the other boards

>>154912

>I don't get piscetarian unless it's for purely healthy though.

Bruh. Look at the fishing industry. It's ecologically fucked up. You need to be well-informed to ethically eat seafood. If the thing you're eating isn't unsustainable, the bycatch probably is, or it has some other ecological toll (like with farmed salmon).

I eat everything, and honestly don't know what's sustainable to eat and what's not.

>>154912
I think there's a case to be made in either direction with regards to ethically-driven vegans. I certainly can respect people who want to eat meat and not worry about the ethics of it, but I also think that a solid ethical argument does exist for ethical vegans. It's crazy to think that we live in a world where most people would scoff at the idea that the milk and meat industries are horrific in their treatment of millions of animals while the average person would physically attack somebody for beating up a dog. I blame it on the the invisibility of cultural bias.

But for me personally, I am a vegan still eat meat, and dairy, and eggs, on occasion but mostly consume a plant-based diet, because of environmental reasons (spoiler'd below to spare anybody who doesn't care to read them).

Besides the fact that meat and dairy production account for 70% of global freshwater consumption, 38% of the total land use and 19% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, it's also more expensive than producing an equal amount of edible plants by a factor greater than 100, and it also creates the need for vast lakes of feces, which are not just unsafe for humans to live near, but also are remarkably stanky.

>>155005
I think 90% of people see it as at least questionable ethical. But the market is there and will be there until we have viable alternatives. Humans have eaten meat for a very long time, the only way I see the meat industry and the horror surrounding it going away is a massive change in global opinion or viable alternatives that taste similar. Hopefully science will be able to give us lab grown meat that tastes the same soon. Even if it was a bit more expensive, I think a lot of people would make the switch.

>>155006
What you're describing sounds like a food replicator from star trek. Boy that would be nice to have.

>Computer, one slice of raspberry cheesecake
>*boop beep boop*

>>155006
I mean I would switch just on taste alone. Imagine being able to grow your meat perfectly seasoned from the inside out.

>>155020
If we no longer need them and they're not wild, who cares? They're ruining the atmosphere with their stanky farts.

Also there are still a lot of places where cattle are free range that would do just fine. Also, there are still buffalo in North America, and people keep them as a novelty with even less value than cattle.

Also 2-300 years lol.

If we collectively stop eating chicken wings i predict that chickens will go extinct in 700-4000 years.

>>155020

people just need to get on board with insects being the primary source of protein and we will create a sustainable future

>>155021
700 years is a bit optimistic for chickens. Bantams which are still half wild are stupid useless shits. Chickens are dumbed and less efficient. I give them a few decades.

Cows would do fine in isolated areas except they need flat decent land. Sheep would do great but they're pretty close to as wild.

If we produce synthetic meat we should keep a few herds or whatever. Probably in close proximity so the rotation of mating animals would not require air miles or even many road miles. Food producers would order a handful of animals and keep them on a small holding, probably luxuriously for their brand and then would clone samples. At least this is how I imagine meat production. Eventually there'll be protein sequencers but I think bringing new patterns in will keep things exciting. And until we abandon currency entirely, you'll probably pay a small licensing or advert fee to use a replicator pattern so marketing will matter.

"Ah this Pork is Winston, here's his picture, he's currently 17 and likes stealing my fucking donuts". "This beef is Bruno, he lived to 20 and spent his days in the scottish highlands eating prime grass and gazing over Loch Ness". Then you clone thousands of kilos of Bruno meat and watch people buy that shit. "Lucinda; she sleeps on Silk cushions and is hand fed, Lucinda has had the best all her life and that is why she is the best 400 credits per pound of gamey but tender flesh from the most luxurious Pheasant".

>>155024

i think the solution should be to split the herd into 3 or 4 groups and move them to moderately different climates/environments so they maybe have some different mutations favored in a few generations

sauce man back again with another recommendation, if y'all want a serious heat and good flavor (so its not just straight heat like certain sauces) I recommend The Coming; it's a tomato-y carolina reaper sauce. goes well with tomato based foods so pizza or pasta or chili

>>155031
Alright this is silly as fuck. Let wild cattle survive on their own (or not). 39% of the Earth's surface is used for farming. We're clear-cutting rain forests worldwide to make more cattle-grazing area, and all the cattle and agriculture to feed them are contributing almost 10% of the global greenhouse gas emissions, advancing the severity of the sixth mass extinction event. Let the cattle populations descend below their natural environments maximum carrying capacity. Artificially keeping their population numbers above that threshold isn't efficient. Merely getting cattle out of factory farms would be such a massive animal humaneness victory that it's almost whimsical to debate the details of how their populations would be managed after that.

>>155055
Which is all fine. We fucked up maybe if cows are so far gone evolutionarily that they can't live in the wild. Hopefully that isn't the case, but if it is, then it doesn't follow that we should concoct expensive programs to indefinitely sustain their massive population.

I'm sure that in a world where meat labs could overtake factory farms, we'd have the smarts to reintroduce cows to the wild, not all the billions of them, but enough. I think so at least.

I think this is my favorite. It's pretty mild but it has the best flavor and is amazing on eggs. I'll have to be getting a new bottle soon and I think I'll put a few drops of death sauce in and shake it up real good just to kick up the heat a bit to make this the perfect hot sauce.

Tapatio with a couple drops of dave’s total insanity really kicks taquitos up a notch.

>>155256
nice, great classics

>>155256
Used to get Tapatio when I worked at Margarita's. Good times.

This stuff right here. Has a deep, thick flavor; also, it has a habaneros flavor, but without as much heat. Perfect for chillis, soups, tacos, etc. Tried this mixed with guajillo and chipotle chillies for a pepper broth in a Mole style soup; one of the dankest things I've tasted.

>>155256
I think Tapatio is mediocre, and I used to work at Margarita's too, and also have that particular Dave's sauce to kick it up with. Honestly though, I don't really like either of those sauces. That's just my opinion of course, but still I'd recommend trying Cajun Sunshine (see this guy >>155146), and kicking it up with .357 from the OP. You won't need nearly as much as with Dave's insanity++ sauce so you can get more of the mild sauce's flavor too.

Alternatively, try Melinda's. They are the best sauces I've ever had (best ketchups too). Go to their website right now and buy a $4 bottle of the Scotch Bonnet sauce, Red Savina sauce, or Trinidad Scorpion sauce and you won't be disappointed. They aren't quite as hot as Dave's, but they taste fucking delicious.

I like going to Nando’s so seeing that Whole Foods is selling their sauce made me get it. The hotness, spiciness and pepper taste is exquisite especially for chicken.

This shit is delicious! Not very spicy, but a shitload of flavor. Really good with beef or pork.

>>155851
I've only used the red yucateco but it's still tasty as fuck.

>>155849
This shit is pretty good as far as peri peris go. It also goes great on fish

>>155882
Haven't tried it with fish but I should do that.

>>155851
mix that into your tartar sauce man it's legit

>>155852
awww bro the green stuff is made from younger benayrows I believe it's way fucking tastier than the red stuff which is already pretty tasty

It's a slow board around here boys. Lets try and check a few pages back before starting a new thread.

>>156669
I think you mean the OTHER hot sauce thread

>>156669

this thread is almost a year old nigga. why don't you check around a few pages before telling people to check around a few pages

two fucking hot sauce threads?!?! Now I've seen everything

>>156672
Bruh. I bumped this one because of the new useless one. This bad boy still has over 400 posts before it stops bumping, no need for a new one that rehashes all that we've been through in this one already. I'm sure my ID is different by now, but if you look at the last post on the new hot sauce thread and the bump post on this one, it's both me.

We've done this before. Why not finish the conversation we were having before starting a new one?

>>156674
We also have two fast food threads. I love /nom/

>Begun the hot sauce thread wars have

>>156690
Anyone who has that sauce in the OP knows how hot it is. My roommate and I are finally halfway through the bottle. What a long strange trip it has been.

Daaaang a hot sauce thread, this will be excellent reading. I will of course post before reading because I'm an asshole.
I'm looking forward to trying some new habanero sauces since they seem to be my favorite. Great heat, great flavor, what's not to like.
Though also lately I've been enjoying the rather shitty vinegar-based basic sauces on my burritos. Is it a good hot sauce? No. But sometimes it's just right.

>>156983
I may have said it earlier in the thread so pardon me for being an asshole, but yucateco is a great habanero sauce

HOT SAUCE-COVERED DICKS EVERYWHERE

I like Taco Bell Fire Sauce because when I put hot sauce on shit, I still want to taste it, not fucking burn all my taste buds off. Also, it's free.

This shit makes a pretty good Bloody Mary but you have to put like 3 packets in because it's so mild.

Anybody mix hotsauces with another sauce for some extra dankness? I used to make SriRancha a lot. Sometimes I'll mix a habenero sauce with mayo for a spicy spread.

>>157216
it's surprisingly good for a fast food sauce. I try to always get extra to keep stocked up but i haven't been to Taco Bell in forever. Haven't tried it in a bloody mary either, but I'm positive it's better than tobasco.

>>157216

Taste the meat, not the heat

>>157217
You don't even have to go to Taco Bell any more they sell it in bottles at the store

>>157216
More of a Diablo sauce kind of guy but even then it's not even that hot.

>>157232
you're right it isn't that hot, I just don't really like the flavor

Taco Bell Sauce is the shit! It may not be melt-your-face-off OH MY GOD SOMEBODY CALL NINE ONE ONE level of atomic spice, but it is still damn tasty.

>>157414 They also have taco chips too.

>>157414
You're a sissy. Even the hottest sauce isn't that spicy. But they are delicious.

>>157415
But are they good?

>>157414

I always thought the Kraft-made Taco Bell sauce was really bland and gross. La Victoria is where it's at, mang. Ortega makes a decent taco sauce, too.

>>157429
I think he said they may NOT be spicy...

I make my own sauces out of vinegar, Carolina reapers and tomato paste. When you mix that with vodka and add a reptile egg then butt chug it, well you get what the Vietnamese call “the rocket monkey”. not the Vietnam war, mind you, this is all recent developments

A good place in Thailand will sell you that and a ladyboy hooker for the night for 200 dollars American.

Just be sure they don’t spike it with their Chernobyl-grade LSD. I may be the most neurologically resilient jolly african-american out there in regards to spontaneous neuron regeneration, but I ain’t risking it again.

TL;DR I befriended a tiger outside a Buddhist temple and we wrote a self-help book about it.
