7/4 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Here's an old reliable stand-by at our house: Along with chili oil, I see this on the tables in Chinese restaurants in NYC, even Chinatown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've spent considerable amounts of time in Mexico throughout my life (my father was born there), and I've not really found anything availaible in the United States that can touch the sauces/salsas that you can get there. However, this stuff is one of the best I've had here.... Yucateca habanero sauce...great flavor and quite hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Not super hot, but very tasty. Yep, that's the one for me! Here in NM they have an annual event called the National Fiery Foods and BBQ Show. I've never been, but apparently there are some dangerous concoctions served... :rsmile: I can believe that. New Mexico style is hands down the hottest shit I have ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'd have never guessed that. Cool That's why I mentioned it. I still think it's kinda strange. I'll bet they don't have it on the table in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You are some brave mofos. I am not ashamed to admit I stopped pursuing the hot sauce experiences some time back. I prefer a milder salsa. Such as this one of my very favorites (store bought, really there's nothing compared to some homemade!): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet they don't have it on the table in China. It is strange. Chinese restaurants in my neck o'the woods tend to just have soy sauce on the table.

jazzbo Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Here too. . . but Vietnamese restaurants will have hot sauce, big dispensors of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elissa Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I order beans from Rancho Gordo in California - the Giant White Lima are unbelievably great, as are the Good Mother Stallard and and and - but he also makes the killingly delicious Gay Caballero Very Hot Sauce which is more flavorful than it is hot, though still hot.

JSngry Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Here too. . . but Vietnamese restaurants will have hot sauce, big dispensors of it. Oh yes, that stuff rules as an everday condiment. I've started putting it on hot dogs, sandwiches, eggs, durn near everything. FWIW - the "Americanized" Chinese (ane we have a diverse enough Asian population around here that I do mean Chinese, specifically) restaurants here won't have hot sauce out, but the "real" ones will, usually just some crushed peppers in oil, and buddy, you better respect that shit, or else it'll knock you out. The Korean & Vietnames places have different hot sauces out as a matter of course. Thai, otoh, is a different matter altogether, you cna get it, but you have to ask. (and if you order right, you'll not have to, they'll make it plenty spicy in the kitchen). I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're hot but there's also a lot of sugar in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 New flavor, also very tasty. Dang. The store was out of stock. I'll check a few other stores on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free For All Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I picked up some of the habanero Tabasco today. It definitely brings some heat (I'm battling a cold and cough and this stuff really does help clear the sinuses). The box listed the habanero as ranging from 7000-8000 Scoville units (the measure of capsacin), regular Tabasco as 2500-5000 and the chipotle as 2000-2500. I have no desire to try any of that million-Scoville-unit stuff I hear about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have no desire to try any of that million-Scoville-unit stuff I hear about. I have, and it's nuts. Just one drop on a toothpick will take you out for about 15-30 minutes. They talk about using it in stews, soups, etc, but hey - using more of a less concentrated sauce makes more sense to me. Other than novelty, conversation piece, etc. I really don't see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
