I would love to try that one.

...that sold a sauce by that name. It could power nuclear reactors. Hell, I think it could start nuclear fusion on a good day. 'Good stuff, Maynard.'

A neighbor of mine 15-20 years ago used to market a habanero/mango-based hot sauce
out of his basement that was just incredible (unfortunately, I've lost touch with him).

Tucson is hot sauce heaven. Before I moved here, I would visit my folks (who retired
here) at least once-a-year and, a day or so before I left, I would go gift-shopping --
always bottles of hot sauce.
.
The woman ringing up my order once looked up and asked, "Visitor, huh?"
.
"But how..."
.
"Anyone coming through my line with four or five bottles each of half-a-dozen or more
different bottles of hot sauce is definitely taking some gifts back home."
.
One of the things I like about Tucson is its friendliness (as compared to many places,
but especially the Northeast, where I lived for a LONG time). Things like cashiers
striking up friendly conversations... and ESPECIALLY when (usually) the people waiting
in the line behind that conversation remain patient and don't end up sweating the small
stuff in the least (though have your goddamn coupons ready before the order is rung up).
.
A little slower-paced, friendly and happy/relaxed here than many other spots.

Try that one in the middle. It stands wooden-balled head and shoulders above the
rest, IMneverHO.

with Tacos and burritos, but I don't have any at home. Some of the Restaurants in The Mission district have it at their tables. I should really get some, since I like to make quesadillas!

The best of the lot is the green habanero sauce in the front row. It tastes so good I'd drink it straight if I weren't afraid it would kill me.

its, "teh awesome!" hehe!

You just have to use it sparingly: I swear it will melt fillings.

the independent meat shop here in my little town. They have a couple of aisles with shelves and shelves of hot sauces and mustards.

Well, I am surprised that Safeway, here in San Francisco carries so many sauces, but there are specialty stores in the Mission district that carry all kinds of hot sauces. I also love going to Chinatown to find unusual ones there. Another favorite of mine comes
from Thailand;


Sriracha sause!!

chefs around here love to use a touch of Sriracha on sushi. I have never tried it on pizza, but imagines it might work.

The quality of a corner gourmet store and the size and stock and selections of a supermarket. One
in Tucson and 11 in the general Phoenix area.

Hot sauces can be so much fun -- and so self-descriptive.

Why do you hate America?

Besides, it doesn't have much flavor - salt and vinegar water with a little hot pepper flavor, and just cayenne. We grow our own cayennes and habaneros (Paper Lantern this year) and my wife makes her OWN hot sauce. Damn is that stuff good. Our own peppers, our own onions, our own garlic our own tomatoes (for some of the batches) - we don't make the vinegar - and NO SALT! She also makes salsa completely with our garden ingredients. The hot sauce will keep for over a year in mason jars (not pressure canned) in the refrigerator, but it usually doesn't survive the winter because of consumption.

Oh, and here's what Melinda's looks like...


They've got a bunch of different formulas, but that's my favorite.

My neighbor, used to grow hot peppers, and habaneros. He would let me pick them and I would make a sandwich, usually just bread, with some cream cheese and peppers. I loved those.. Best Sandwiches ever!

Texas Pete is to hot sauce what lite beer is to beer.

There are literally hundreds of different kinds of sauces around here. I bet there is even once called "Newman's own".

Also, do they still make Dave's Insanity Sauce?

I'm amazed I'm still here today with my sense of taste.

I do have to admit I use some more than others, and I have some silly ones from NO just because they have funny labels. They generally taste pretty much like the commercial ones.

I'm also a huge fan of Rooster Sauce (There's a real name but I can't think of it) that decorates the table of every Vietnamese restaurant I ever go to. Got a huge jar in the fridge. And Harissa, a Middle Eastern one that is awesome.

The only good thing about that place is the wall of hot sauces from which to choose to spike your mediocre meal.

i buy mine locally made and it is incredible.
