The Hot Sauce thread

Quite a fan of hot sauce. The slightly lower ones are probably a little tastier but love trying out new ones especially if marketed as "super hot" just to see how I do.

This was my latest one I just picked up:

Good strong kick to it but once you're over that, it's quite a nice flavour. Great on chicken

My favourite is Sriracha.

I know it's not that hot, and common as muck, apparently the original guy/company that made it for whatever reason decided not to patent it, so there are tons of knock offs which to be honest, are no different anyway.

I find it just a good all rounder.

Quite enjoying the Encona Exxxtra hot sauce at the moment. Again just a common supermarket one (I do love the Sriracha too) but it's the perfect heat level for a good whack that isn't too much.

Just looking at bottles of hot sauce sets my saliva glands going.

Morrisons Habenaro is a good one, nothing too exiting but ony 99p a bottle.
Econa carolina reaper is probably my supermarket favorite, if you can find it in stock.

These are worth a look, https://www.eastcoastchillicompany.co.uk/product/chilli-sauce-60ml-box-gift-set/ the owner is pretty friendly and resonds to emails with advice and stuff, I bought 2 selection boxes, one for a friend and the owner was asking me which ones I liked and why, and what foods I was using them with.

I quite like the Econa sauces as well.

The more specialised blow your head off ones are often just rediculously hot for the sake of it, usually with tons of extract over actual fruit content and just taste like ****. Only really to be used a couple of drops at a time into something to give it heat.

Probably better ordering online direct from a smaller company if you want hot sauce thats proper sauce rather than made with extracts..

Who Dares Burns has been my go-to for about 15 years. I've tried hotter, but I like the taste of this one. Tend to get it from Amazon, after first encountering it at a country fair here in Gloucestershire. A local company, Hot Headz, import it (and it was they at the country fair who had it for sale), but their postage cost is quite a lot, hence I use Amazon.

Habanero Tabasco sauce is very nice. I like splashing it on rice, eggs pizza and cheese on toast. Nice salty kick.

This one is good, it's not particulary exciting but it's decently hot, tastes decent does what it says on the tin, and only a quid a bottle for 165ml.

Mahi scorpion pepper and passion fruit is excellent. Fiery and fruity in equal measure.

Lysander · 12 May 2022 at 23:12

East End Green Chili Sauce. Packs a serious punch. Great flavour too.

Macky · 13 May 2022 at 11:14

Encona. /Thread.

I also have "Da bomb" which is stupidly hot and generally a nasty experience.

LewisRaz · 14 May 2022 at 18:22

the Encona reaper hot sauce is my favourite. Really just like a super hot ketchup.

james.miller · 14 May 2022 at 19:08

I'm not a fan of econa, not the not original hot pepper anyway. too vinegary, i prefer fruitier sauces.

Walkerswood Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce (Single) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TDHBFLY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_i_BYNTSG5A3NDV93RSAH7K

Tried this one after thinking about this thread whilst in Tesco, it's okay, not particularly hot and quite fruity. Much cheaper in Tesco than that Amazon link I hasten to add.

roccles · 16 May 2022 at 16:26

Not particularly hot but I always like to have a bottle of Sainsbury's Tomato & Jalapeno Relish, I tend to use this a a replacement for ketchup in burgers, hot hots, dipping chips in etc.

This is a good one if you like things a bit fresher and fruitier

I've never thought to try green tobasco tbh. I'll give it a go

I have Encona and Sriracha in the fridge.

Sriracha is great in an egg mayo sandwich....might have to go that route for today's lunch thinking about it!

I usually make a very hot sauce with my annual chilli crop. Will be fairly mild this year as I've just got Habaneros and Ajis growing, previously I've use 7-pots and other superhot varieties, which was absolutely fierce (had about 15 7-pots in it). I took some to a house party a few years back and of course there was the nominated douchebag guy declared he loves spices and it wouldn't be that bad. I did say I wasn't trying to brag about the heat, just warning.....as he slopped loads of it on a slice of pizza.

Took him about an hour to stop coughing and sweating

I do love the flavour of habaneros, though I'm not really one for insane heat, I like just a dash to add a bit of zing to dishes.

Is chilli jam allowed in here?

Home | Mad Mike’s Chilli Jam

Mad Mike’s Chilli Jam is all about flavour which always comes first. All our Jam’s are made for the taste of the chilli we use and the heat is moderated in the process; so from mild Divino Jalapeño to Rebel Reaper there is one for everyone!

www.madmikes.co.uk

This guy is local to me, and tried some of his at a country fair last year and have been addicted to the Grim Reaper one ever since.

I'm not even a massive "xxxxtra hot" fan, but all of his jams are so well balanced with a big kick of heat and then a nice sweetness that cuts through after.

Far too often I find myself stood in my kitchen chopping bits of cheddar off and spooning it off, then pacing around the kitchen sweating :cry:
