Hot Sauces

I need to get into a habit of posting new entries more frequently. Until then, I just wanted to post a couple of hot sauces that I have found likings to. Below are those sauces in no particular order:

• Pickapeppa Spicy Mango Sauce
  Great as a wings sauce when used with the Good Eats Buffalo Wings recipe. Heat: 2/10. Flavor: 8/10.
• Tapatio Hot Sauce
  It may not be hot or spicy for me, it has a great flavor and can be used with almost anything. Heat: 1.5/10. Flavor: 6/10.
• Dave’s Hurtin’ Habanero Sauce
  The hot sauce to get, no matter cost or availability. If you like taco sauce from a certain fast food perveyor but want something that has a good punch, this is it. Used to be quite spicy for me, but now it only has a bite in quantities of over a tablespoon. Heat: 4/10. Flavor: 8/10.
• Dave Gourmet’s Insanity Sauce
  While intake in large doses can be considered punishment for some, the sauce combines the flavor of Hurtin’ Habanero and an indescribable heat. It bests the heat of Salvador Molly’s Great Balls of Fire fritters and salsa. Heat: 8/10. Flavor: 6/10.
• Dave Gourmet’s Hurtin’ Jalapeno Sauce
  Want the overall flavors of the Hurtin’ Habanero sauce without the heat, go for the wimpier (in a good way) Hurtin’ Jalapeno sauce. May not be an easy sauce to find at grocery stores. Heat: 2/10. Flavor: 5/10.
• Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
  Mostly known as the “rooster sauce” for its trademark picture of a rooster on the bottle. This sauce substitutes flavor with a vinegary, harsh heat. The hot sauce for use with Pho or any other Vietnamese soups. Want a double punch? Use it to make spicy tuna sushi and pack in a good amount of wasabi, and you’ll probably think you’ve inhaled pepper spray. Heat: 4.5/10. Flavor: 1/10.

There are a couple of other hot sauces that I like and others waiting to be tested, so expect another post or two on this topic.
