I like Tabasco and Red Rooster sauce,too.
What else is good?

Frank's Redhot Original

They were the secret ingredient in the original Buffalo Wings. It's yummy! It has garlic in it. I just recently discovered it.

Oh, Evo! I got to have some! A garlic twang right in the middle of that heat would be so amazing!

This reminds me of something we were discussing in biology class. We were talking about taste sensations of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, and someone in the class said Japanese scientists were working on classifying another taste. Anyone heard of that? I think they were calling it "wasabi" after, well.. wasabi, which is hot-tasting. Do we have specific "hot" taste receptors on the tongue? It seems to me that they all feel the burn when you eat something spicy.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Astronuc, those look great! Have you tried all three?

 

[Evo]

Oh, Evo! I got to have some! A garlic twang right in the middle of that heat would be so amazing!

Yeah, it's good. Not that I've ever just poured it into a teaspoon and eaten it that way. Oh, no, that would be wrong. :uhh:

Oooh wasabi. That, like horseradish, will clear your sinuses. :tongue: I haven't heard of the new taste though.

 

[Gokul43201]

I remember this little shop (near Fisherman's Wharf) that sold hundreds of different kinds of hot sauce (all with funny or naughty names)...and nothing else, I think. Been there ?

 

[Moonbear]

I think the whole idea of only having four types of taste receptors in different parts of the tongue is outdated, it just hasn't worked its way out of textbooks yet.

I'm just imagining MIH having a guy over for dinner, serving up some great Texas BBQ, and then setting a bottle of "Scorned Woman" on the table in front of him. :rofl: I guess you should wait until you know a guy really well before you let him near your hotsauce.

I've got to get some new hotsauces. I don't really like Tabasco because it has too much vinegar for my liking. I like ones that either add heat without much other flavor...just a few drops to give food a good kick rather than to change the flavor...or that have a really nice, rich, non-vinegar flavor.

Hold on Hanna a slightly sweet Amish hot sauce mmm mmm good

 

[Astronuc]

I have used Total Insanity and Mad Dog Inferno many times. They are among the hottest. I don't have Ultimate Insanity yet, but I do have Dave's Gourmet Private Reserve.
http://www.davesgourmet.com/introduction.html

One place where I get various hot sauces - Including Megadeath, Da Bomb, Satan's Blood - and Hot Licks products are pretty good.

Hot Licks has a store in Long Beach -
Shoreline Village
419-H Shoreline Village Drive
Long Beach, California

I try to find and collect hottest sauces.

At least make him buy you dinner first. :tongue2:

Oh hellz yeah! Just discovered when I moved into my dorm. Freakin' delicious!

 

[Entropy]

Some day I'm going to make my own hot sauce. The ingredents will be capsaicin and water, mostly capsaicin.

Wait! Damnit my secret recipe is out!

 

[Math Is Hard]

It's comforting to know I am not alone in my love of the spicy red stuff!

Gokul, I have been to Fisherman's Wharf, but unfortunately I missed the hot sauce shop! If only I had known!

Moonbear, my momma always told me to never let a man near my hot sauce until the third date!

Thanks for all the great suggestions, y'all!

oh, I almost forgot ... I could eat this stuff straight up from a teaspoon like Evo does - I mean like Evo said you shouldn't
http://www.huyfong.com/images/sriracha.jpg

mmm...Sriracha!

 

[Evo]

Oooh, I'll have to try some. I love hot sauce.

I've been known to bring out my hot sauce on the first date.

 

[DocToxyn]

mmm...Sriracha!

MIH, you beat me to it! They also make a really nice http://www.huyfong.com/no_frames/product.htm" sauce, not as smooth as the sriracha, but great straight up or for adding some heat to other sauces like peanut, hoisin, nuoc cham, etc. Nice company too, they just had a write-up in a recent Saveur.

Tabasco has a chipotle pepper sauce that is pretty good too, if you like a little smoke with your heat. Plus, you can get their sauce in a convenient gallon size.

From Ivans post.

Possible Side Effects **

Another from Blair, may cause some serious (you guessed it) side effects! At 283,000 scoville units, it is no wonder This sauce has caused people to see the words "free sex" on the bottle of this sauce. A side effect? Maybe. A hot-ass sauce? Definitely! The only legal hallucinogen I know of!
One of my favorite snacks was, pickled ginger and chili, with crackers and cheese, but it is not in the shops now

 

[DocToxyn]

Yeah, I think the whole tasting zone thing is out, but apparently they is still http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4399584.stm" to be done in this field.

BTW that other "taste" is umami, so wasabi was pretty close, it's described as a rich meaty sensation, more akin to "mouth-feel".

 

[Astronuc]

Sriracha is way too mild!

Satan's Blood - This outrageously hot extract sauce is unbelievable. It will scare the wits out of you. Conceived at 800,000 Scoville Units, on Friday the 13th of October, 2000, during the full moon. This extract is blood red and packed in a unique bottle. This is the hottest extract you'll ever want to use. At 800,000 Scoville Units it is all the heat you will ever need. Manufactured in Florida. 1.35 oz

You've been known to do a whole lot more than that on the first date.

I love pickled ginger, too. I get all kinds of crazy pickles down at the Japanese market. I tried some Indian pickles last week, though, and - BLEHH!:yuck:

I couldn't stand it anymore - I just ran down to the Korean BBQ place. I am back with chicken, rice drizzled with sriracha. Nice helping of kim chee on the side, too. I am supposed to go sit with someone and give him computer help after this. Poor bastard!

excellent! I never could figure out the reason for those tiny one-serving bottles.

I thought my class-mate's story didn't sound quite right!

Couldn't you find something rather more..matronly?

This one comes in a pretty heart-shaped bottle, suitable for gift-giving:

[brewnog]

I had a bottle of Arson Fire chilli sauce a while back. Was given it for Christmas, but never managed to find a replacement! I generally just have some tabasco for cooking with, and some Zulu chilli sauce for cheese on toast and salads. Mmmmmmmm!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Did anyone notice this one from the link?
http://www.chez-williams.com/Hot Sauce/hothome.htm

16 Million Scoville units!

"Blair's 16 Million Reserve **
That's it. The race is over. It's chemically impossible to get any hotter ! Not really a sauce, but worthy of inclusion.
What you will find inside the Famous Reserve bottle is amazing, a 1ml pharmaceutical grade vial filled with this Pure Capsaicin Crystal.--No more than 999 Bottles will be offered"

I hate it when I find something good like that and then can't get it anymore.

I don't think we have Zulu sauce over here across the pond. Never seen it anyway.

16 Million Scoville units!

That looks really dangerous!

 

[Math Is Hard]

I don't know if I could go for these "dessert" hot sauces:
http://store1.yimg.com/I/hotsaucecatalog_1869_971576
They have flavors like Key Lime, Chocolate Orange, and Lemon Vanilla:

Hot Sauce for Dessert? You bet. Use as a pancake syrup, topper on oatmeal, on cake or cheesecake, pour on fresh fruit, use as a grilling sauce for meat, or our favorite: over ice cream! Yum. Very popular.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I don't know my limit, do you? What do you think is the realistic limit for scoville units? At some point it must be not only painful beyond the point of any possible enjoyment, but also dangerous. The hottest thing that I ever ate was a pepper found in some thai food, I think. It was beyond hot. It literally felt as though my tongue had been cut.

 

[quantumdude]

Frank's Redhot Original
They were the secret ingredient in the original Buffalo Wings. It's yummy! It has garlic in it.

Damn straight! I use that stuff like some people use ketchup.

I just recently discovered it.

Didn't I once read that you used to live in Saratoga Springs, NY? I would have thought that you would have discovered it then. I live about 25 min south of there, and Frank's is on the table at all the local diners. It's great with home fries--the taters really soak it up. Yummmmm...

 

[Danger]

I think the whole idea of only having four types of taste receptors in different parts of the tongue is outdated,

It was my understanding that the 'heat' from peppers and such is actually an alkalyne burn. Is that incorrect?

I like ones that either add heat without much other flavor...just a few drops to give food a good kick rather than to change the flavor...or that have a really nice, rich, non-vinegar flavor.

I don't use sauces much for that very reason (allergic to vinegar), although I love medium Our Compliments or Old El Paso chunky salsa. For heat, I use cayenne or more often the little dry chilis that you get with a pizza. They don't change the taste of the food at all.

I can't believe that I never tried it until now. I used to live in Ballston Spa, kind of between Clifton Park and Saratoga Springs.

The Bistro at my new office has it and I put it on my breakfast last month and have been hooked ever since. :!) I have a bottle of it next to me right now. Oooh taters would be good with it. I even poured some on my popcorn the other night.
