What's the duck stuff?
Tapatio is the universal hot sauce. In my house, it's basically at every meal.
I have the Rooster too. I saw that jar beside the bottle. I might check that out too.
My local Weis Markets had a HUGE bottle of Crystal Hot Sauce on sale for $3...32 oz I think, glass bottle too. It looked pretty funny on the shelf with Tabasco-sized bottles surrounding it.
I was tempted but that bottle was too big if I don't like it.
Well, since no one seems to have brought up the hottest of the hot, I think the naga jolokia a/k/a bhut jolokia deserves a mention here. This variety is considered to be the hottest (or possibly second hottest) in the world weighing in at 1,041,427 Scoville units. For comparison, tobasco is rated at 2,500-5,000 Scovilles. I have been experimenting with sauce derived from this pepper and found it to be quite flavorful with manageable heat.
This pepper is used in India as a homeopathic treatment for stomach disorders. If anyone is interested, I will be glad to write more about this pepper and its uses. I tend to use it in conjunction with Indian food because the pepper is from that part of the world. Best, Sam
i have a bottle of Blairs 6am. its outrageousely hot i dont even use it anymore as im afraid of burning my skin. I once used 5% of a teaspoon in a whole pot of chilli and it was so hot i had to use a teaspoon of that chilli in other chilli batches to "season " it.. and it was still barely edible..
i think the stuff registers at over 12 million scollvilles

I'm in the market for some hot sauce. There's a store down the street that has a huge selection and I'd like to try out some new ones. Unfortunately, none of the clerks know much about them. I'm a fan of very spicy food, but I'm not necessarily looking for the hottest sauce possible--although I would be willing to pick up a bottle of that too. I've spent years zapping things with Tabasco and Texas Pete, and I periodically try other ones too. Any suggestions for something that is both hot and flavorful?
