Hot sauces: what are you eating now? How many is too many?

I think maybe so…:grin:

I was so, um, fascinated by the concept that I actually allowed every. single. script on that page (including amazon-adysystem and google-analytics, which I never - ever - allow) and  turned off my AdBlocker (which I selectively whitelist, but only very rarely turn off on random sites), yet - alas - no earwax ad for me… (I did see the the Kinjadeals mention of Amazon’s “Mucinex Gold Box”, which was possibly even more disturbing, but not nearly as curiosity-piquing…:wink:)

Wow. Maybe not HO stuff, but I think my daughter does this stuff for a living, so I will try to share with her.

I DO do “crazy” , albeit not THAT kind of crazy, but that was crazy.

My ads were for whiskey :tumbler_glass:
I’m not sure what that says about me or the internet, but definitely more fun than ear wax.

I’m definitely picking up a bottle of this. I’m a huge old bay fan so my expectations are high. Thanks for the tip.

Sold out! So did they not make enough or just completely under estimate demand?

I’m saying the latter. There are tons of diehard old bay fans out there.

I couldn’t resist

Some people flex with fancy cars, I flex with my hot sauce collection. :blush:

This doesn’t include my hot pepper pastes and my spicy pickles. I have a problem.

What is the Mike’s?
I don’t know that one.
Mystery sauce!
:cowboy_hat_face:

My hope is that this sauce is not going taste like Franks/crystal/lousiana mixed with old bay. I’m hoping for some other flavor(s) …if that makes sense (ie something I couldn’t replicate at home.)

Looks good! It also looks like I will have many peppers to experiment with this year!

Currently I have Cholula, Old Bay, Bee Sting, Formosa Jalapeño, Sriracha, Melinda’s Naga Jolokia, and Melinda’s Bhut Jolokia. The last two are my favorites, but I squirt Sriracha into Mornay to make mac and cheese or a cheese soufflé and like Cholula or Old Bay on fries. The two Melinda’s sauce are wonderful on fried eggs. Just a few shakes does it. I also have sambal oelek and severL salsas.

The only one I’d go out of my way buy is Cholula, because that’s the only one with chiltecpins in it.

I love to make homemade, and fill old Heinz ketchup bottle with it. Instead of vinegar overkill, you add lime juice for the acid.

2-3 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
1-2 tomatillos
4-5 mini sweet peppers
2-4 jalapenos (or habaneros, but whoa they’re spendy lately.)

I grill everything but the garlic, toss in a blender with 1/8th cup broth and spin it. It’s what I use like others use ketchup, and taco sauce. Love it on eggs.

After the nearly two intervening years I am down to Melinda’s Bhut Jolokia, Cholula, the same half bottle of Huy Fong Sriracha, the same bottle of Old Bay, and two Herdez salsas, Casera and Guacamole. This covers all of my salsa bases quite nicely. I have several very spicy pepper concoctions for stir fry, but they really are not sauces. My diet has continued to reduce French fries. So the Old Bay will take aeons. Ditto for mac and cheese and soufflés. So the Sriracha will take FFE. We mainly go through Bhut Jolokia, Cholula, and Herdez Guacamole (on breakfast tacos). Our chile bushes, planted by the birds, continue to bless us with wonderful crops of chiltepins. They are eaten fresh, steeped in vinegar with onions, or in a simple sauce. We eat way more jalapeños on tacos than salsa. The repetition might be boring to some, but for Taco Tuesday I grill a big batch of chicken thighs. I slice a few for tacos and top with jalapeños, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and a drizzle of crema. The rest are frozen to be used as needed.
