I've been getting into this stuff, it's nice and flavorful.

I know you were probably directing the hipster comment at people who like Sriracha but I like it and I am not a hipster so fuck off. I also like sweet thai chili sauce.

>>5495138

Sriracha fucking sucks, and yes you are a hipster

>>5495138
fuck you hipster faggot. sriracha sucks.
texas pete and mayonnaise for life

El Yucateco. Kutbil-Ik.

>no hipstesr allowed

>>5495148
Isn't rejecting a sauce simply because it is popular in order to be a special snowflake something that a hipster would do?

>>5495125
You all sound useless.

>>5495153

It's not really popular. Only place I've seen it in was a hipster Mexican joint

>>5495155

yall*

>>5495148
Since when is that sauce hipster food? What do you like?

>>5495156
I guess they know better taste than you...

>>5495155
I don't like Shark Brand. Too sweet, not enough garlic.

>>5495156
>It's not really popular

Well I tend to eat sauces that tastes good, not what's popular.

>>5495159
hahahaha!

>>5495125
>bottled hot sauce is garbage

always salsa +1 stay fresh

best learn quick or pay dearly

>>5495125
sriacha?

Is it popular enough to not be hipster yet?

>>5495125
Eh to me Crystal, is like water down Tabasco.

Gringo Bandito is pretty good, got a good zing to it.

ah man, this is surely the best i've tried.

>>5495125
/ck/ got me to try Crystal, and honestly I think it is one of the better tasting hot sauces, but it does lack heat. Right now my favorite is a chile pequin hot sauce that some ranch in central Texas sells.

Kaitia fire!

I absolutely LOVE cholula.

When I went to visit the USA, cholula was on the table of a bbq ribs restaurant. I fell in love with the flavor.

It is not spicy enough, thats my only complaint. The flavors are wonderful. I like the original and lime ones.

Anyone got recommendations for a hot sauce with nice flavors, maybe a bit spicier than cholula?

Too spicy is not fun though. People who like overly painfully spicy food (think over 300,000 scoville) are tryhards who try to feel badass or special. Its used for party gags or personal challenges, but not for enjoying the food and the flavor.

RedHot for chicken, Tobasco for a drop or two, Cholula for Mexican food, Louisiana or Crystal for everything else.

See

>>5495147

And their other flavors, I really like the green and the 'mayan xxx' one, which is delicious (that one's pretty spicy though). They have much more flavor/depth than Cholula and are a bit spicier. Ignore the guy saying it's 'hipster' I see it all over the place. It's in god-damn walmart. Don't especially like the Caribbean or Chipotle flavors personally.

>>5495203

Louisiana gold is a little hotter than cholula. It's like Tabasco with less vinegar taste.

>>5495203
came here to say this
love this sauce, i basically drink it though because it isn't hot


used to love Dinosaur BBQ's hot sauce, still in lust with sriracha

>>5495147

These guys know what's up. El Yucateco is the bomb.

Also, calling a hot sauce "hipster" is fucking retarded.

>>5495147
Yucateco is great. But why is it colored neon green?

this shit right here

i tried it at a firehouse subs and ended up buying some from them

apparently it's hipster since i could barely find any pictures of it on google

>>5495332
seconded on both points.

sri racha tastes pretty good with asian foods. i use it with mustard and soy sauce occasionally.

tabasco has a quality about it that seems to bring out other flavors and just sort of make them...better. it's like a catch all. still, using one hotsauce for everything is whack.

valentina's hotsauce is pretty okay if you want badtastic taco bell flavor.

ultimately i think it boils down to what you're putting the hot sauce on, but if i have to choose just one i'd pick the green habanero el yucateca. that stuff is AMAZING on pizza.

go fuck yourself /ck/

>>5495582
>Obligatory Red Hots
It isn't even that great. Shit tier taste.

Haven't tried many but this is my current favorite.

>>5495125
got a bottle of this at a farmer's market. was really pleased... put it on eggs, burritos, in pasta. pretty much anything that would benefit from some heat

>>5495619
whoops forgot pic

>>5495125
Srirachi is only hipster if you're non-Asian.

Asians have been using that stuff forever. It's like what condiments do you have in the fridge? Ketchup, salt, pepper, mustard, srirachi, hoisin, black bean garlic sauce, and another chili sauce.

TAPATIOOOOO

>>5495653
Asians keep salt and pepper in the fridge?

>>5495658
Letting your pepper spoil

>>5495658
AHAHAHAHA fucking asians

Asians invented pepper. Ever hear of the spice route?

>>5495125
tabasco. After all the sauces, it all comes back to plain old tabasco.

Sorry for the image size, only one I could find on google

It's not that hot, but tons of flavor, and can taste the fruity habaneroness of it. Otherwise, my hot sauce go to is Franks. It's basically just flavored salt.

>Franks. It's basically just flavored salt.
correct. This is not a good thing though

>>5495657
>my nigga

tapatio is the fucking shit

I will eat ANY hot sauce and appreciate them all for their unique personalities - any other approach is amateur. Crystal has long been one of my favorites for southern/cajun food. Katrina wiped out the old plant that stood beside the freeway and it didn't taste the same for a couple of years but now it is as good as ever.

>>5495735
Fuck yea.
Just splashed some on my ravioli
mmmm

>>5495125

I do not have a favorite hot sauce much as I do not have a favorite dish soap or toilet paper. It's a utilitarian product to cover up bad food when you find yourself in dire circumstances. If you're finding yourself in such circumstances often enough to develop strong feelings about brands, you should try to fix your life.
