Sun, January 18, 2004 - 12:05 AMTwo that I actually buy in stacks are Coyote Cocina Chipotle and Frontera Roasted Sweet Chipotle. Both are very flavorful, but, you're going to have to go to the back shelf for any heat.

*sriracha* www.huyfong.com/no_frames/sriracha.htm never lets me down. i also love *m & d ring of fire chipotle & roasted garlic hot sauce* www.salsaplace.com/cgi-bin/...etail.cgi although it seems to have gotten a bit thinner over the last couple years. -

Thu, December 23, 2004 - 10:31 PMI say Marie Sharp's Habanero from Belize wins hands down. It comes in a variety of heat levels, but all have the same incredible flavour. The label has pictures of vegetables if that gives any idea as to the emphasis (as opposed to things like girls in bondage gear shooting flames out their backside like this one less than superb tasting hot sauce I have). -

Sat, January 1, 2005 - 9:01 PMI love the really really spicy siricha sauces (sp?). They have that nice spiciness with the sweetness to balance. -

Mon, September 26, 2005 - 1:15 PMHey Mark,
I agree. One of the nest sauces I've had. Found it in belize and been stocking it at home now for over ten years. Great flavor, works with all kinds of foods. Right on!

Re: Best hot sauce?
Mon, March 7, 2005 - 11:11 AMThe best hot sauce I have ever tasted is by "Wingers" from Louisiana. Add some honey to their hot sauce and you won't be able to get enough! Unfortunately, I have investigated and "Wingers" is only available wholesale, so if I wanted to buy some I'd have to order by the case. I guess they want to provide quality over quantity, something you don't see a lot of these days!
Also the best bleu cheese I have ever tasted (a perfect accompaniment to hot sauce IMO) is by "Nugget", also only available wholesale. Croxleys Ale House in New York uses both "Wingers" and "Nugget", and I used to have to hold myself back from going there too much for their honey hot wings at the risk of getting fat! :) -

Fri, July 15, 2005 - 10:21 AMKAMANAWANAKILLYA by Tahiti Joe's is the_shit for flavor and heat!
I turned the gangstas at my local hoodie chicken wing joint onto this stuff after mocking their weak ass hot sauce and bringing my own in for years -- now the chef begs me for it..."please sistah girl"...
heh it's also amusing to see grown men cry when they put too much into their red beans & rice

Re: Best hot sauce?
Sat, July 23, 2005 - 10:09 AMFor me it is "Mary Sharp's Fiery Hot". It's from Belize. Really hot and quite a little sweet!

Re: Best hot sauce?
Thu, September 29, 2005 - 1:03 AMMy personal fave is Miss Anna's from St. Croix in the USVI. Curry and mustard overtones, with a heat that builds like good Indian food. HOT stuff. On the bottle it says their website is missannas.com, but that's actually some bed and breakfast in Indiana.
Here's what it looks like in case you come across it:

Re: Best hot sauce?
Wed, December 14, 2005 - 7:32 AMOne of my favorite hot sauces, ever:
Melinda's xxx hot sauce.
It will not let you down. A very complex sauce with very little vinegar. -
-
Re: Best hot sauce?
Thu, December 22, 2005 - 2:05 PMWe have a large Hot Sauce fan club at work. Melinda's is a repeated favorite. Another that gets repeatedly reordered is
Rhino African Peri Peri XTra Hot. -
-
Re: Best hot sauce?
Thu, December 22, 2005 - 2:30 PMThat Rhino stuff has a wonderful label (so save the bottle for flask purposes), but the sauce wasn't particularly hot. I grew some African peri peri peppers this year (aka Bishop's Crown), and there were pretty mild (but freaky looking). Very tall pepper plants. -
-
Re: Best hot sauce?
Thu, December 22, 2005 - 7:30 PMIt isn't terribly hot. That is why you have to get the XTra hot, to get it up to an acceptable level. -
-
Re: Best hot sauce?
Thu, June 15, 2006 - 9:02 AMI like the "Pain is Good" brand hot sauces. Especially the Louisiana one...while not terribly hot (although my definition of very hot differs from many people's), it is loaded with flavor. Their Jamaican is a definite runner up.
Others that I really like
Pain 95
Raw Heat - Vintage 69

Hottest sauce i've ever had .
Made in Mexico.
The real deal ...

Re: Best hot sauce?
Sat, June 23, 2007 - 4:47 PMAgreed! El Yucateco XXXtra Hotsauce "Original Mayan Recipe"! Also called "Kitbil-ik"... much better than the red or green version. This one has no added color. Nice and hot, buttery finish. Habanero is the FIRST ingredient, so it's mostly pure habanero with no fillers. Highly recommended (and reasonably priced, too!)

Re: Best hot sauce?
Sat, April 28, 2007 - 1:17 PMThis stuff is the absolute BOMB! Great flavor, great heat, what more can you ask for?
I HATE anything made w/ capsicum extract, "Spontaneous Combustion", "Endorphin Rush", etc, all taste like crap to me, all heat, bad flavor. IMHO......

Tue, March 18, 2008 - 9:21 AMI'm surprised. For flavor, I've always been a Scorned Woman fan. And they do make a wonderful BBQ sauce as well.
