No. I actually tried ghost sauce before . Bitch

GOD TIER HOT SAUUUUCE

>>4642002
confirmed

Cholula is good, OP. I also like Sriracha.

Hotter hot sauces take away from the flavors of the rest of the meal, so that you can only focus on the flavors of the hot sauce. Cholula and Sriracha actually improve the flavor of meals, so it doesn't taste like you're just drinking hot sauce.

dont get mad at me because OP likes bad sauces

louisiana hot sauce

OP is right, Cholula is the best all-purpose hot sauce out there. Lousiana is far below.

>>4642138
Couldn't spring the extra 47 cents for Tapatio?

These gringos arguing about their pretend bottled salsas... lel

Master race, right here.
Along with it's more common brother, regular Louisiana brand hot sauce.

>>4642211
Hot sauce and salsa aren't the same thing, bro.

>>4642215
Yes, they are. Salsa is Spanish for sauce, salsa picante is exactly the same as hot sauce.

>>4642165
>>4642213
Speaking of Louisiana hot sauce, I'm addicted to buffalo popcorn. Louisiana hot sauce and butter, just like for wings, but tossed with hot popcorn and a dash of salt. It's my crack.

>>4642217
Linguistics aside, they're two different animals and you fucking know it.

>>4642219
Nope, not at all, unless you think being bottled makes a difference aside from quality.

Greengoes really think that is hot?
Try to eat Habaneros

Cholula is shit, get a real hot sauce. At least it isn't fucking tabasco.

>>4641975
Cholula is nice enough, way better than Tabasco IMO, but hardly master race *in any way*.

It's a pretty good middle-of-the-road hotsauce of that style but there are like 8 or 10 sauces that are very similar. Just in my collection there are 3!

>>4642002
Wow, way to show your jammies are rustled.

plebs

Just bought this one today.

Opinions or whatever you reckon. It's better than the last shit i experimented with (Lingham's malay chilli sauce), which was way too garlicky and not hot enough.

>>4642202

Cholula regular > El Yucatan green > Tapatio Red > El Yucaton Red > any other cholula > any Lousiana style hot sauce > Franks

Exception is made for Franks only for hot wings and disco fries.

HOLD THE LINE.

>>4645852

Not a fan. Are you from California?

>>4645755

Ew no. Cholula is just too rich and creamy for a hot sauce. It works on absolutely nothing.

Tabasco on the other hand is hot and piercing, the way a hot sauce should be. It's best used in chili and soups and sauces.

i love hot sauce in all flavors and forms, but i've yet to find something that beats the classic

>>4645902
this

>>4645869

Tabasco is weak peppers in vinegar with no complexity. That's it, it's shittier than Franks.

>>4645972

That's why it's best used IN stuff instead of ON it, like a regular cooking ingredient. Mix some Tabasco into chili and it brings wonderful heat without interfering with the flavors.

>>4641975
Cholula is the best. I hate that its 5x the money of Tapatio.

hot sauces generally fall into 2 types
>Ridiculously hot sauces that people buy to act tough
>Salty, vinegary brews with just a bit of spice

The problem with the first is you either have to be careful to use it, or you're trying to cover up some shitty food with heat.

The problem with the second is that they exist purely because most home cooks are really bad at salting and acid balancing their food, so they're trying to do three things at once to your dish. However, once you know that proper salting and acid balancing is necessary, you realize you might as well add proper amounts of salt and acid yourself. And then some cayenne too if you want spice.

>>4645995
>acid balancing

Like you didn't just make that up

>>4645979

Just use tabasco peppers then.

>>4645995
>cayenne
>spice
lol

>>4645984
not sure where you're buying your hot sauce, but cholula is like a dollar more (talking large bottles here) at my local publix. and either one is still cheap as shit.

>>4642211
>Making a pseudo-point when he knows that bottled hotsauces are eaten all over central America.
Touché? Touché.

God tier hot sauce right here you mother fuckers.

I'm so pissed I'm the first person to post this.

>>4646395
Seconded

>>4645979
>Mix some Tabasco into chili and it brings wonderful heat without interfering with the flavors.
WTF are you smokin' dude? The overwhelming vinegar flavour interferes plenty with many things, that aren't supposed to have vinegar in them.

Not trying to rag on you but seriously if you think it brings wonderful heat you're just not that used to heat.

I'm not even a serious chilli head but it's so mild for me that I could drink it out of the bottle. I don't mean "take a couple of drops on my tongue without choking", I mean literally drink it.

>>4646395
Thank you for saving my sanity. Seconded.

That being said, I like a whole bunch of hot sauces, it really depends on what they are going on.

I just sprinkle on the hot pepper flakes my grandfather grows and crushes.
All heat, without the shit.

>>4646395
Not shit-tier but seriously, meh-tier mah cracker.

>>4646414
GODLY. Sriracha (or cock sauce if you wanna call it that) has that predominant garlic flavor that is just fuckin awesome. It's practically half hot sauce half garlic sauce. Love the smell.. love the taste. No other hot sauce does that for me.

(background of where I'm coming from.. my other favorite hot sauces are Frank's and Cholula).

>>4645984
I can't tell the difference, what do they serve at Mad Mex/?

>>4645995
you are a fucking leonardoretardo

>>4645902
this man knows his shit. that baby bottle wont cut it though.

>>4646480
In the battle of the vinegary sauces, this one beats the shit out of your lousiana, every time.

COME AT ME BRO

>>4646490
Mah nigga.

>>4646490
Britbong here,
I bought this and I was disappoint.
I was expecting it to be hotter than it was.

Tastes alright, bit like Tabasco.

>>4646535
It's not meant to be "hot", as much as its meant to impart that delicious flavour. I soak my cubans in this shit before I eat it.

Its definitely on the low end of the heat scale, even lower than tabasco

>>4646552
Yeah. I get that.
If I knew what it was going to be before I bought it, I wouldn't have been disappointed.
But I was expecting a hot sauce, as it says hot sauce on the bottle.

>>4646562
some people do find that stuff hot. gotta cater to the sissies.

try the cholula if you haven't.

Habanero Tabasco is the only way to go for vinegar sauces.

>Americans in charge of adjudicating quality hot sauce

>>4646580
And who do you suppose would be better?

>>4646596
well i think the UK might have recently started stocking hot sauce in their grocery stores.

>>4646580
>makes fun of a nationality
>too chicken shit to discuss his own

>>4646580
I'd fuck that fatty while she eats those hotdogs, more bounce to the ounce

>>4646621
I don't think so

>>4645835
bumping for an opinion on this sauce. Is this the sauce they serve with Pho? I want to know which one that is.

Firstly, hot sauce is different from chilli sauce.

Secondly, Hot Sauce isn't well known by enough of /ck/ to be fairly discussed.

Cock sauce and Tobasco is not the kind of sauce you put on a taco or Burrito.

>>4646621
this

also agreeing with OP, Cholula master race

>>4645857
That shit is almost too spicy for me, I can only use a few drops.

i was at the store today, in the hispanic aisle looking for good hot sauce, and i came across pic related. is it any good? i've never heard of it, but it looks like it might be worth it.

i ended up getting cholula. i love the flavor, but it just doesn't have enough heat.

>>4648329
derp, forgot the fucking picture

My favorite.

>>4646743
>Cock sauce and Tobasco is not the kind of sauce you put on a taco or Burrito.

>implying we are only talking about sauces for tacos or burritos

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: sambal.

>>4648355
>sambal
>dis nigga rite hurr

Seriously, piss on all of your hot sauces. This is the king of all hot sauces. Bow down to your Indonesian master.

>>4648342

Mah nigga

So basically the three sauce types are the chilli sauce, the vinegar sauce, and the hot hot sauce?

I basically spend my days trying different chilli sauces to enhance the flavour of open grilled cheese sandwich's. I think sugar matters.

>>4648355
>not even specifying which sambal are you talking about

stay casual

>>4648379
My personal favourite is sambal badjak, but sambal brandal is good too. II'd like to try sambal kacang, which is made with peanuts, since I love adding sambal to my peanut butter sandwich.

Red pepper flakes soaked in olive oil

>>4648380
>adding sambal to my peanut butter sandwich.

I thought I was the only one.

>>4648391
Brofist. You a Dutchie too?

UK brownfag here and I just use homemade mix which is simply lemon, chillies and ginger soaked in lemon juice. The shop stuff usually contains a lot of vinegar, although I did try a hot sauce made by Heera which is great on chips. Comes in a large litre bottle.

>>4648428

Careful, I'm pretty sure if you have anything spicier than ketchup you can get deported from Britfagland.

Any love for encona?
