Hot Sauce Recommendations?
I'm looking for recommendations for a hot but FLAVORFUL habanero hot
sauce. I used to cook with Pepperhead's when I lived in NY, and I absolutely loved the chipolte/habanero sauce from Piehole Willie but the shop where I used to get it closed. What I'm looking for: HEAT (back of the tongue burn), smokey, vinegar based with that hint of fruit that you get from good habaneros. Any thoughts? |

Not a Habanero based sauce but still hot, smoky and most importantly flavorful is the Tabasco Brand Chipotle Sauce... A good basic hot sauce (better for everyday use than Tabasco IMO) is Frank's Hot Sauce... as the story goes it's the original sauce used on Buffalo Wings in Buffalo, NY - yet still not a Habanero sauce... ~john! ....did you guys see Don Vito down that whole bottle of Hot Sauce on Viva la Bam? -- What was it like to see - the face of your own stability - suddenly look away... |

To my taste Marie Sharps is the best made Habanero on the market with Melinda's a distant second.. I suggest you do a web search-there are dozens of web companies selling Hot Sauces-you'll find Pepperhead's easily enough and buying a dozen bottles at a time will bring shipping costs down-pick a company not too far away.

I've always liked Melinda's.

Melinda's makes several habanero-based sauces. My fave is their
mango-habanero. Nice balance of sweet fruit and heat. Many cities, especially in southern and touristy locations, now have little shops that specialize in hot sauces. Often they have a sampling bar. If you find one of these joints, it's a great way to explore your preferences in super-hot sauces. Also, and forgive me if this is too obvious, don't be afraid to tinker with a store-bought sauce. If it's not fruity enough, try mixing in some juice concentrate or preserves. If it's not hot enough, combine it with a stronger pepper elixir. If it lacks tang, add some lemon juice or vinegar. For complexity, add some liquid smoke, or cloves, or allspice (very small additions of any of these). Or if you want to really run your creative impulses, try making your own private hot sauce concoction from scratch. That's probably how most of those commercial products originated. -- Julian Vrieslander |

Hot Sauce Recommendations?
I was born a hot sauce fanatic. I'm a little amused at the recent interest
in gourmet hot sauces. A hot sauce traditionally was a poor mans treat. I always check grocery stores when ever I travel for the local hot sauce. These usually never cost more than a buck and a half a bottle. I have tried many of the "Gourmet" sauces and have more often than not been disappointed. Seems the main thing is to be hot. I think the challenge is to be tasty and hot. Why hit yourself over the head with a hammer if there is no reward. A good hot sauce is like a slap from a beautiful woman. It huts but you don't really mind. Two of my favorite inexpensive hot sauces are any of the Trappie's brand and Crystals, or anything that says Louisiana on it. You can keep the Tabasco. My absolute all time favorite hot sauce is West Indies Creole Hot Pepper Sauce, made with harbenero and Scotch bonnet peppers, My other favorite high end sauce is Ring Of Fire (regular). Both are worth the $6- $8 price tag. They also come in big bottles (10-12 oz) Doug |

Never tried Marie Sharps (or seen it, as I can recall). I'll look for it. Yeah, there are dozens - if not more - hot sauces out there. I can't imagine that ALL of them are good, so I was just looking to see what kind of recommendations might come back. Thanks for the Marie Sharps tip, I'll give it a try. BTW - are you familiar with Pepperhead's? Its a small shop out on Long Island, all the dude sells is hot sauces. The place is unreal, just a hot sauce heaven. Their signature house sauce is amazing. And if anyone comes across any place (online or retail store) that stocks Piehole Willie hot sauces please post it up here or drop me an email. Its damn good stuff I'd like to find again if its out there. Thanks in advance. |

IMHO, the leaders and Ring of Fire and Marie Sharp's. Ring of Fire has two Habanero sauces, but they also have a Chipotle Garlic Sauce that is very interesting. Marie Sharp's has several habanero sauces to choose from. Of course, you can't really discuss this genre without considering Dave's Gourmet, including the Crazy Carribean Hot Sauce and the Ginger Peach Hot Sauce. There's also a sub-class of sauce that isn't really a sauce, but is sold as a "food additive." They're hotter and more noxious than military grade pepper spray. Satan's Blood and Dave's Private Reserve come to mind. Personally, I don't like the "too hot" stuff, but they're surprisingly popular. Hot Sauces make great stocking stuffers. I tend to like the ones based on garlic or fruits. Rothchilds Hot Raspberry Thunder might be my current favorite. Since I own a web store that sells sauce, I get to try a lot of different stuff. Before I opened the store, I used to always search for hot sauce stores for my collection. But most stores that sell retail sell at a very high margin -- they have to because their inventory turnover is fairly low and retail space is expensive. You can get much better deals on the web, and frankly you can look at the bottle, read the label, and get almost the same experience as buying it in a store. Just make sure that you purchase several bottles to keep the shipping cost down. -- Greg Leman Carolina Sauce Company, Inc. http://www.carolinasauce.com A wide variety of sauces and specialty foods over the web. |

Bello's absolutely the BEST Pepper Sauce I have ever had-someone
brought me a bottle from Dominica once. I agree that most 'gourmet' sauces are pale imitations of the real thing found in Caribbean and Latin American countries.
