REVIEW: Trader Joe's Habanero Hot Sauce
Saw this for the first time today, so naturally
I had to buy it. I'm adapted to rather hot food, so it takes a pretty hot sauce to meet my standards. This is a good sauce. Adequate heat and a strong habanero flavor. I've tried other putative habanero sauces, and while the heat may be there, the habanero flavor is usually lost. Not so with this sauce. Heat AND flavor will not disappoint! Another defect in many sauces is too much vinegar. This sauce is just about right. It will be a regular in my fridge. I can't really fault it for anything. A bit of a surprise is that it is made in South Africa. |

I've been using it for years (try it on mac and cheese). IMO the red is better than the green. Isaac |

I love all sorts of hot sauces, but for omelets, the only kind I want on them is good ol' Tabasco -- and that's just about the only thing I *do* like it for. Well, besides pulled pork sandwiches, where it's sort of a required ingredient. Isaac |

I have all sorts of hot sauce because my son buys them for something or other he's cooking/serving here and leaves them, but Tabasco is my go-to hot sauce and I'm grumpy if I run out. Never mind that I have at least 4 others in the refrigerator waiting to be used. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |
