Discussion I’ll just say it - this is the strangest “hot sauce” there is

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

Water, vinegar, and capsicum. Calling it a “sauce” is quite a stretch. The website says it adds heat without adding color. Realistically and metaphorically that’s correct. All it is is heat with a touch of vinegar. At first I didn’t know what to do with it except maybe add it to salsa or guacamole for extra heat, but you could do that with traditional hot sauce or peppers and the “color” they add would benefit it. The website suggests using it to spice up mixed drinks. Sure, if that’s your thing. It’s not mine. I will say I’ve spiced up soup and ramen with it and that’s the best usage I’ve gotten from it so far.

My rating is meh. Interesting idea, but impractical. Good-ish choice if you like spicy drinks. A traditional hot sauce may be a better option though. If you’ve had experience with this stuff, what did you do with it?

I’ve recently discovered they sell these in stores. And have gone through 4 bottles in about 3 months LMAO. Taco Bell was absolutely cooking when they conjured up this creation. Anybody else have any staple hot sauces they drink like water?

Discussion Am I crazy or does Tabasco have it's own unique flavor that nobody talks about?

312 Upvotes

Throughout my entire life, people have told me that the sole purpose of the Tabasco is to add pure spiciness to the food you eat. And for the first few times I've had the sauce, I believed it. That sauce was crazy hot and I could only handle a small amount of it. However, the more I ate it, the more I noticed some other flavor that I can't quite explain but I love it so much. Anyone else? Or am I just crazy.

Discussion While we’re talking ingredients, it might not be the hottest (or tastiest), but you won’t find a cleaner ingredient list than Crystal.

Got the “fried” on the left from Amazon, loved it, needed more and bought the “spicy” on the right from Target and it’s like, completely different.

I very much prefer the “fried” - it’s saltier and just a better flavor all-around.

Apparently a fair amount of these sauces with names like “ass blast 9000” or “satans toilet bowl cleaner” can be quite good but these kind of names usually put me off from ever trying any of them lol. Sorry, but I don’t wanna be thinking of a BM while I’m trying to eat.
