Hot Sauce

Hot take: basketball players shouldn't have Hot Sauce as a nickname, unless they don't want to be on the starting lineup.

Good point guards play a lot and are a major ingredient in the recipe of basketball. In the world of food recipes, if hot sauce were the dominant ingredient you'd end up having...just hot sauce.

Hot Sauce would be a great name for a microwave bench scorer: you put him in for just a little bit to kick up the spice of the game.

Thank you for the Boneyard.
 
I don't know about "best". I usually keep a half dozen around for different purposes: buffalo sauce/wings, eggs, Cajun, Latin, East African, Asian. There are different levels of heat/sweetness/fruitiness that work better for each application than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Sriracha has its place, but it's a very limited place.

This is the correct answer. You need Louisiana style for Cajun food. Need buffalo. Mexican is different. Asian is different. I have probably a dozen different ones.
 
You all may want to try "Howler Monkey" hot sauce. There are different 4 levels of hot that are available. This hot sauce uses a scotch bonnet pepper called "ahi chombo" peppers and they come from Panama. These hot sauces have some bite but also have flavor as well.

We need a player named hot sauce. Someone who can cross up their defender followed by throwing the ball into the stands..... Which somehow results in a win for us.

Make my own from garden grown peppers. The play of the heat is so much different. Not sure how to explain it but the way the heat starts and finishes is "cleaner"? More distinct? Almost like the processing of store bought sauces tempers the whole thing? @August_West does that make sense to you?


I understand exactly what you mean. And its true. I think its simply the ingredients. There is a bunch of stuff in even real good mass produced hot sauces that are there for "shelf stability" which I think messes with the alchemy of the underlying intent. Using a minimal amount of your own fresh ingredients is my preffered sauce method , but I do reach for Green El Yucateco when not availbale.

Ive often also used the "clean heat" description to describe real good Indian and Thai food that sets you on fire. They know how to cook with heat and use fresh ingredients (read, peppers) to achieve that heat without crutches.

A great example of dirty heat would be flaming hot cheetohs and crap like that.
 
@Travelman32 I've been sitting on some dried arbol peppers at home and was planning to make them into a hot sauce. Any recipes or recommendations?

1. Franks Red Hot which i can put on almost anything.
2. Sriracha for only asian food.
3. Nandos Peri Peri (Medium, Garlic, Hot, Lemon & Herb) on almost anything
4. Hot Ones Los Calientes - might be my favorite hot sauce ever
5. Tapatio
6. El Yucateco
7. Cholula
8. Yellowbird Serrano

In no specific order. Usually decide based on whatever i'm feeling that day what i'm eating.

I've grown partial to Texas Pete's over Franks.
 
There's this company based out of Portsmouth New Hampshire called Philbur's. Best hot sauce I've had. Never tasted anything like it.
Just ordered their #10 and #14 varieties. Can't wait to try them.

There used to be a CT based company, maybe in Milford but that could be wrong, that made fantastic hot sauce that was aged on oak barrels. Best stuff ever. Too bad they dissapeared.

A little OT, but we've been using dried arbol peppers in a Cooks Illustrated Kung Pao chichen recipe, and it's pretty fantastic. Better then any I've had in restaurants. Pretty damn spicy.

I like the 10. 14 is real hot. Let me know what you think. Philburs is family owned and every bottle is bottled by hand.
 
For those of you doing the twitter/UConn hot sauce thing, here’s my old man moment - I love the idea and the cause, but please be careful. Drinking shots of hot sauce with a super high scoville (spelling?) rating can put you in the hospital.

Like he said, he's a old man. Don't be a wussy, go for it!
