Hot sauce tasting: The ultimate guide to America’s most popular brands

Hot sauces are not all the same. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from some of the best-sellers.

www.chicagotribune.com

(...)But hot sauces bring more than just heat to the table. In particular, vinegar plays a huge role, adding a bracing element that makes a hot sauce seem more forceful and incisive on the tongue. Hot sauces with a lot of salt also seem extra assertive at first, though this sensation vanishes after a few seconds.
It’s also important to understand that hot sauces are not all the same. For example, Louisiana-style hot sauce brands, such as Tabasco and Crystal, feature few ingredients and loads of vinegar, while Mexican-style hot sauces, for example Tapatio and Valentina, are usually hotter, thicker and often have a number of spices mixed in. And then there’s Sriracha, which is in a class by itself. (...)

Frank's has a permanent spot in my fridge - usually buried in the back behind a bunch of jams.

I was back east too early this year to pick up any fresh apple butter(nothing tastes more like home) , but I did bring back some FROG jam from the local shop. Good stuff, I bought it.

FROG=Fig, Raspberry, Orange peel, Ginger

Oh boy. You think to hard… Even hot sauces can be contentious…

I HATE the f'ing Sriracha!

suddenly the supply stream has dried up. Their garlic pepper sauce often cslled “cock sauce” is scrumptious. Sriracha is a type, its the type you hate? The closest i come to hating a hot sauce are the habanero based sauces or the extremely high scovil sauces intended to not flavor. I prefer pickled jalapeños over pickled cucumbers. Currently pickling a batch of Szechuan style pickled jalapeños.

Top of the food pyramid!

Huy Fong "temporarily" stopped production

One item that might be increasingly hard to find is Huy Fong Foods Sriracha sauce, everyone's go-to green-capped hot sauce. The internet recently discovered a letter from Huy Fong Foods, Inc, the manufacturer of Sriracha, that warned of an impending shortage of not only Sriracha, but also its Chili Garlic and Sambal Oelek sauces. In the letter, which was posted on the website for wholesale food service distributor IFD, Huy Fong wrote that it had been experiencing "a shortage of chili pepper inventory" since July 2020.


The situation seems to have only gotten worse since then; due to adverse weather conditions affecting its pepper crops, the California-based company says that it is now facing "a more severe shortage of chili [peppers]." As a result, it warned that it is unable to produce those three sauces, and it suggested that its wholesale clients should not promise deliveries of Sriracha or its spicy siblings to any of their customers. "We understand that this may cause issues," the company wrote. "However, during this time we will not accept any new orders to be placed before September as we will not have enough inventory to fulfill your order."

Sambal Oelek, holy communion!
Thanks! I was about to finally look for an explanation .

No, more jam than anything else. The fig and ginger do the heavy lifting flavor-wise on top the raspberry jam base. Just enough orange peel to round out the flavor.

Welcome! I've have some real heat for a couple of years, crushed Scotch Bonnet flakes from St. Kitts. It seems the company is out of business. You hardly ever had to buy more

Have you tried pepper spray to make your food spicy hot?
It's good on leftover ribeye steak and Korean Ramen noodles soup.

You mean stuff like bear spray?????

I usually don't eat in the mornings, because don't have time, I like to sleep. So I always drink coffee when I get up, and I bought a coffee maker to make coffee very fast https://www.stayroasted.com/coffee-makers/ Cuisinart. It's very simple and quick and you don't need to jump through a burning hoop to make yourself a coffee.
