Which type of hot sauces do you generally prefer?

[cookieman12]

Mexican hot sauces (Tapatio, Cholula, Valentina, El Yucateco, etc)

Cajun/Southern hot sauces (Tabasco, Louisiana sauce, Crystal, Texas Pete, etc)

A while back, a girl on GAG turned me on to Gochujang sauce. They carry it in the store.

It is a red, Korean chili sauce. It is thick but not as thick as ketchup. It is hot, kind of sweet, but not vinegary like other hot sauces. I love it! I don't know why almost all other hot sauces are so vinegary. I generally don't like adding vinegar taste to my food.

I put it on Mexican food and add it to chili or anything else that I want to add some tasty heat to.

I also like Mae Ploy sauce. It's from Thailand. It has tons of red pepper flakes in a sugary syrup. The only time I have it is as a dip for roasted chicken breast. Or sometimes I'll add some to a roasted chicken breast sandwich.

Cholula. Years ago on a vacation, a server at a Chili's restaurant got me hooked on it. After bringing our food, she asked if we needed sauces/ketchup. I asked if there was anything that flavor in addition to a touch of heat, not like the old regular Tabasco which was just a bottle of fire back then. She said she had just the thing for me, brought back a bottle of Cholula, she nailed it, and I've been with Cholula ever since.

Flavor with some heat, rather than just rocket fuel.

Demi Glace + roasted mango or peach + roasted pineapple + shot of Tabasco. It's European umami, Asian fruity sweet sour and American sharpness mix.

Grew up on Crystal and Tabasco and I do Creole cooking so they work best with my menus.

Hot sauces are a realm of endless exploration! My personal preference leans towards the bold and flavorful sriracha, with its perfect balance of heat and umami. I’m also fond of the smoky, chipotle-based sauces that transport me to vibrant Mexican street markets. During a trip to Thailand, I discovered nam prik pao, a chili paste that adds an unforgettable depth to dishes. Each sauce has its unique profile, making every meal a potential adventure! 🌶️

When I was in elementary school I use to like Tabasco and Crystal, but by the time I was in middle school they just tasted like vinegar. I never liked Texas Pete. It just has a bad flavor. Louisiana is the best major brand of hot sauce. I've had all the Mexican ones at various times but they are remarkably unrememberable. I never said, hmm what is this a good hot sauce I need to get it when it came to a Mexican hot sauces.

[NathanDavis]

we never really do "branded & bottled" down here... or salsas are home made

and, as an exception for most people around here, I don't really like hot spicy sauce lmao

I prefer it mild and for the tasty taste and only some times too

[7Phoenix7]

I love both of those types. If I’m eating Mexican food then I’m choosing Mexican hot sauce definitely 💯.

I love my Cajun/southern hot sauce for almost everything else lol

[jshm2]

I prefer to mix hot sauces. Some are hot, but just fucking awful to taste.

My preferes mix is Jamaican hot sauces with Spanish hot sauces.

[MrOracle]

I definitely tend to favor Mexican/Tex-Mex, but I go through a decent amount of Frank's Red Hot for wings.

[loveslongnails]

Hmmm... C) None of the above... sort of. While I lean toward the Mexican ones, what I really prefer are the ones like Mango Habenero or some other fruit spice. I also love Caribbean hot sauces. They're nothing like traditional Southern ones.

[Curiousboy01]

I chose this one mostly cause it’s the ones I’ve had the most of but I love hot sauce so I’m sure the others are just as good too

[WhitneySnow]

Cajun/Southern. Also North Carolina barbeque sauce.

[Nikki1989]

Cajun/Southern and lots of it. I can put hot sauce on just about anything.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I just prefer some good spicy seasoning over hot sauce

[On_cloud_wine]

Smoky chipotle, Tabasco, siracha, guchujang

[Staximus]

Louisiana hot sauce for the most part. Yucateco is great, one of the only hot sauces at the grocery store that's actually hot

[douride2]

No hot sauce for me. Hot sauce and me don't get on well together.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Hot sauce that's not sour nor have any other flavors in it. I just want the "hot" not the "sauce" especially if the food already has flavors.

[Anonymous]

I prefer Indian hot sauces, but I like Mexican and Cajun too.

[CoolDylpickle51]

Mis Clicked but I Prefer Cajun Hot Southern Hot Sauces

[sage2021]
