RedHot or tobasco?

[Steve_Cox]

In Saint Augustine the hot sauce dejour has been made from Datil peppers since the Minorcans landed just down the coast from here in about 1763. Wings, oysters and french fries just wouldn't taste right without it.

I've tried all those mentioned except for the Loltun. The tabasco brand Chipotle sauce has good flavor and not too hot, the Melinda's is also good.

I'm not a fan of the NC favorite "Texas Pete" that is made in Winston-Salem and can't be found in Texas, or the Lousiana hot sauce.

Driving home from FL, I mentioned to my wife that we have to stop at Avery Island one time.

Doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's hot! I'm going to Quaker Steak and Lube tonight to see how hot I can go on their wings.

I like the Chipotle tabasco on eggs...also works great in a cream cheese dip deviled eggs etc......Doug

Ya know Doug... I can identify with your taste of the Tabasco brand Chipotle
sauce. My little iron skillet ... the one sized for just 2 eggs is just right. I
heat it up with a little grape seed oil for slick joy for the two eggs to give uP
their essence to the heat of the iron. Breaking the yokes of the two eggs as
they hit the ultra hot iron makes sure that the flow will be right when the flip
happens. Mean while in the mic-ro ... the corn Tor-tilla da hun; is being
warmed till the moisture runs rampant with pliable joy. About 36 seconds
does it for my sensibilities. Back at the miniature iron skillet a fish spatula
flips the eggs over after they have had salt and pepper with garlic sprinkled
on them. The iron is turned off and when the ding of the mic-ro happens the
eggs are scooped uP by the spatula and placed on Mexican 3 cheese that is
sprinkled on the hot and sensual Tor-tilla. Then the Chipotle or Habanero
finds a home in the nest of more Mexican 3 cheese on top of the eggs.

Folding the Tor-tilla in half with the Cilantro leaves dressed properly is a
pleasure one should not miss.

ahhh yes... hOt sauce is a food group and rightfully so.

m kinda partial to Marie Sharp's Habanero Hot Sauce, nice and hot good flavor not a ton of vineger like Melinda's, though Melinda's is great for hot wings.

This is your Joy of the food group?

Marie Sharp's Hot Habanero Hot Sauce



Now I must find this ~Elixir~

Advertising excerpt:
"Elixir of the Gods! This hot sauce is marvelous. It is so smooth. The
addition of carrots blends well and adds a sweetness and tang to
compliment the habanero. It has a nice heat, but is not overwhelming."

Frankly, I haven't noticed that about Melinda's, but since too much vinegar is my complaint about Tobasco, I guess I'll have to track down some Marie Sharp's.

**********Goya, "Salsa Taquera"************

I recently found and tried Goya, "Salsa Taquera". I wanted a hot sauce
that had some body and lots of flavor. And Like Joseph I don't like too
many of the sauces that use vinegar. So this product is Authentic Mexican,
made with fresh vegetables, and has some heat. It costs about $2.30-$3.00
depending where you find it.

I find this product excellent for off the shelf salsa/hot sauce.
On eggs it is wonderful. I think the two peppers used in the mix is the
reason why it appeals to me. The texture is rich and not as runny as most
hot sauces. Its pours better than catchup but thick and oh so nice and full
of flavor.

Once again may I suggest Tapatio Salsa?
I use Tapatio often with the Salsa Taquera
as they both DO NOT USE Vinegar.


Tapatio Salsa Picante Hot Sauce 5 oz.
This sauce has a good flavor and doesn't use vinegar.
Not overly hot as well. http://www.mexgrocer.com/3125.html

...always keep in mind what you are cooking...I have tried many of the sauces mentioned and they work great with Tex-Mex cooking but not so well with Cajun/French cooking...where original Tabasco is a key ingredient....

I think they both just taste nasty. There's plenty of other ways to make food taste good and/or spicy. If it's bad enough I have to hide it with that stuff I usually just don't eat it.

I'd have to second Rich on this one. It's kind of like eating a good steak if you have to hide it under A-1 or other stuff it must not be that good.

now I do love a good BBQ

Tobasco for the Bloody Mary's, Tiger for wings, I like some heat, not a lot of vinegar, but there as many Hot sauces as there are Teardrops out there. Recently tried "Scorned Woman" hot sauce and then there was a good one called " Smack My Ass and call me Sally " hot sauce......
