Here he goes down another slope...and believe me, I'm a confirmed chili-head and it is another slope...the quest for more flavorful and hotter sauces is endless...right now I'd have to say I have 25 or 30 bottles of different hot sauces and rarely do I eat anything that doesn't have some kind of hot sauce on it...furthermore, chili's are good for your heart as the oil that makes them hot, capsaicin, helps lower cholesterol and keep your arteries clear...also high in vitamin C...if you've never had much experience and you want to try a really flavorful hot sauce that has a bit of a zing to it try Cholula Hot Sauce...it's made from piquin peppers and it should be carried by most grocery stores...it's great...

Cholula Hot Sauce

[mikey202]

I've tried the Cholula, and its pretty good.I'm using a bottle of Sweating Bullets right now.It's Habenero based and pretty hot.

I grow my own habanero peppers, so you might say I like 'em strong.

Highly reccomend El Yucateco brand sauces. Too many of the habanero sauces (Tabasco, ugh) are cut with vinegar and carrots.

The Green Yucateco is 6910 Scoville units. Splash on pizza is glorious.

If I may make a recommendation, try this sauce...

Pain is Good Batch #37


It is HOT for the average person. I have a fairly high tolerance for hot stuff, but this stuff still makes me sweat. It's habenero base with garlic and carrots among other things. The flavor is not overpowered by the heat. This is by far the best sauce I've ever tasted. It is a bit pricey, considering how fast I go through a bottle, but it's worth the money.

Tabasco works for me.

It is what I like. Most of there other's have to many other ingredients in them that well distract from flavor. Cholula isn't bad, kind of mild. But look at what is in it.

And Tabasco is not habanero in any way shape or forum. Just to get things straight.

There actually is a habanero Tabasco sauce. It's pretty hot, but not that good IMO. The best sauce in Tabasco's lineup is the Jalapeno. I like the flourescent green color.

You are correct and I stand corrected. Sorry Aaron.


I like the plain Jane 150 year old stuff

I sent some to my brother when he was in Iraq and him and his buddies loved it.

Our boys (and girls) in uniform love Tabasco. There's a little mini-bottle that comes in each MRE (Meal Ready to Eat). The MREs are pretty good but sometimes they need a little help.

I'm the biggest chile head that I know. I've grown 100's of different varieties of hot chile peppers. Last season I had around 120+ different varieties. I'm going to limit myself to around 25 different kinds this season. Anyway, my 2 favorite hot sauces come from Belize. They are Marie Sharp's and Melinda's. They are habanero and carrot based and are excellent! I'm not into the vinegar based hot sauces very much. My own hot sauce and salsa are also very good. My doctor is the biggest fan of my salsa. I get as many free samples as I need!

i'm not a fan of flaming hot, but i do like a little bit of zing. I'm a big fan of Not Cool hot sauces.... they're very flavorful and not overly spicey.

Melinda's is a good sauce. I'd called it a close second to my favorite Pain is Good #37. I haven't had Melinda's for a while now which prompted me to look at their web site. I didn't realize they had as many sauces as they do. I've only had the original. Have you had any of the other varieties? I think the Chipotle, Garlic and Scotch Bonnet sauces look like they're worth a shot.
