The Marie Sharp's I like better than the comatose level version of their sauce. Same heat level but the extract flavor (at least, that's what I think I taste in the back of my throat) is less. At least, those are my impressions based on tasting off a spoon. I also mainlined some Da Bomb to see if that throat feeling/taste was the extract. It was.

Surprisingly (not) they had a large variety of hot sauce, so I snagged a few I'd not had before: I can't get Marie Sharps around here and I really miss the Belizian Heat one.

Is there a popular manufactured habanero salsa that's used in taqueria restaurants? I've been to two places that serve an identical tasting salsa and it's delicious and hot but they refuse to tell me if they are made at the restaurant or if they buy it. I think it has to be purchased since these were two different restaurants. The thing is that it doesn't taste like it's jarred, it tastes like fresh mix of tomatoes and peppers plus misc stuff. It's sort of a dullish red color and it's not chunky. e: It looks very similar to this http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/05/three-simple-yucatan-condiments-salsas.html

Salsa de chile de arbol is the "hot" salsa around here and most versions I've tasted are all remarkably similar, whether it comes from a taqueria or is made by Mexican American home cooks.

The only pacakaged sauce I can think of that looks like that is El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik. It is pretty drat hot and also delicious. Could that be right?

I was going to suggest the same thing. The flavor is also pretty similar to what you described, but they might add some tomato puree to it for thickening and flavor. I can't taste any tomato at all in kutbil-ik.

What’s a good, relatively cheap ghost pepper sauce that has a flavor besides heat? I have a bottle of the Island Pepper Company stuff that I got for 3 bucks. It’s not bad but it just tastes like hot. I want something that I can put on some pretzels or something. I have ghost pepper mustard, which is tasty but not really ghost pepper hot.

If you're okay with more of a salsa, Mrs. Renfro's Ghost Pepper Salsa is pretty good, although frankly I think it seems a little unspicy compared to the other ghost pepper products I've tried (it's still extremely spicy, just not as hot as other things I've had). It has a lovely slightly smoky, slightly fruity flavour.

Haha, that's fair enough. I like a vinegary taste and a good deal of spiciness, like ghost pepper level or so.

Melinda's Naga Jolokia is pretty good if you're looking for flavor. It's got a lot of heat but quite a few fruits and other flavors to make it a bit different than your usual "tastes like vinegar and pain" variety of ghost pepper sauces. Pretty sure you can find it on Amazon.

Should I take a chance on a local bottle Tropical Pepper Co's Scorpion Pepper Hot Sauce as a first foray into Scorpion Pepper doings? I already enjoy their Ghost Pepper sauce decently enough as the first other Ghost Pepper Thing I've ran into since a few scattered jars of Kam's Hot Chili Sauce, but the Scorpion kind of looks like a low effort compared to it as I am far more interested in overall flavour and an accentuating blend to draw out potential than just chasing after heat for the sake of such. Granted, I waited all these years for some kind of Scorpion Pepper sauce to finally show up in my area until now to sate my curiosity---so a bit more for hopefully a more evocative spread to draw from wouldn't exactly be a huge ask...

It’s mostly pain sauce. I use it in soup and chili and whatnot where I can heat up a bulk item but it’s really got no flavor other than pain and “I’m probably gonna regret this on the toilet later”

I made hot sauce again, I thought I would do a little post with images. I do a Mexican style sauce with some Asian ingredients. No fermenting just vinegar. This year I went with a 3:1 ratio of Filipino Cane Vinegar:Apple Cider Vinegar. Oddly it still doesn't taste too vinegary like Tabasco. Garlic the only other solid ingredient. I also don't strain it at all. I bottle it with a bit of thinner commercial sauce to thin it out. 2017 growing season my garden didn't give me good yields so I purchased a bag of Thai peppers, destemmed them, froze. Typically I pick peppers as they ripen, destem, immediately freeze. Also I love fish sauce so all the salt comes from fish sauce. This batch should last me at least until the fall where hopefully I will have a good harvest to start anew.

I made a container of Trini pepper sauce: About 15 or so habaneros, a head of garlic, a bunch of cilantro (can't get chadon beni up here), a few tablespoons of yellow mustard, and cider vinegar, blended up with a bit of salt. This stuff is simple and delicious, and I put it on everything.

It is punchy, but a manageable punchy. It feels about the same level of heat as the Yucateca green sauce, or maybe a bit more. The flavor is awesome, though. I think I got the basic recipe here: https://www.simplytrinicooking.com/trini-pepper-sauce/ a couple of years ago, but I just eyeball proportions and add spices or other ingredients at random. Sometimes it's some allspice for a jerk-type flavor, or a couple of slices of mango or grapefruit, or a dash of mushroom soy sauce. The recipe makes a great base for a lot of variations. a foolish pianist fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Feb 22, 2018 |

Good shout - I checked the stems on these as that's often the bit that gets wonky when the inside gets moldy, but might as well chop them in half if I'm going to blend them anyway

His stock isn't huge but his sauces have always been my favorite, no extracts in them, they are extremely authentic and bold flavors. The heat on a few of them is absurd too.
