simple choice - Tobasco.

Tobasco is a light hot sauce used to ENHANCE flavor, not drown it.

Rooster sauce is good for drowning nasty $1 chinese food in it. It's not good. It's too thick. It has too distinct of a flavor.

I can put tobasco on eggs, noodles, meat, chicken, even fucking pancakes and it will just enhance the flavor.

if i put siracha on anything it will taste like siracha. dont get me wrong, i like it, its just... not always want that strong of a flavor.

same thing with ranch and bbq sauce honestly

>> No.5235947

Tobasco FTW

>> No.5235960

Sriracha has better flavour, you can put it on anything like pieces of bread.
You can't drown your bread in Tabasco though, so they are both good but for different purposes.

>> No.5235961

I like them both.

>> No.5235967

tabasco hands down
a tiny bottle lasts me ages and i use it all the time

>> No.5235978

Tabasco actually has the much stronger flavor, you just use less of it. Due to the aging of Tabasco in oak barrels it has a VERY fruity, tobacco-y profile, almost perfumey. In exactly the right dish it's incredible but it's hardly universal, Frank's is universal because it's more like plain vinegar and heat. Sriracha has a more universal quality than Tabasco because it isn't nearly as fruity or distinct. On smoked pork ribs sriracha is so beautiful it can bring tears to your eyes.

I generally agree although I have found one excellent use for Sriracha: mixed into ramen soups. Somehow the flavor combines with the broth perfectly to create something new, rather than just making the soup taste like Sriracha.

Of course the Chili Garlic sauce by the same company is better for this anyway.

Luckily, I don't have to pick one.
Tabasco is a cooking hot sauce. Not a table sauce. It's the hot sauce you use for seasoning soups, stews, cajun and creole dishes, anything that benefits from a vinegary heat.
Sriracha is best with asiatic dishes.
Lousiana Gold is my favorite table sauce all around.
