    Every pepper head should know: Scoville ratings for hot-sauce are bullshit.

    Most sauces simply list the Scoville number for the pepper in the sauce, and never actually get the sauce rated. This leads to people thinking they can tolerate much higher ratings than they can. And encouraging them to try stuff that will lead to a bad experience.

      Was coming to praise the Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. It’s so good on and in so many things, but especially a chicken sandwich from a local joint we go to on Wednesdays. I look forward to that every week.

      I recently got a bottle of Melinda’s Garlic & Habanero sauce. It might be my favorite hot sauce that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

    Pretty fond of Nandos Garlic sauce, but theres also

    • Djablo Power Jab (filipino - earthy and HOT)
    • Burns & Mccoy - Mezcaline (warm and fantastic on a taco, not crazy hot, very flavorful)

    I’m partial to the Dave’s Carolina Reaper sauce.

    If I’m in a different mood the El Yucateco habanero sauce has great flavor.

    Gochujang for cooking. Usually the T. UP imported stuff from Korea.

        I’ve tried a few different brands of sriracha, and there were only like two that I liked. The others had more sweetness that I didn’t like.

    • Blair’s death sauce: quite spicy and a really nice habanero flavour
    • Mad dog 357: VERY spicy. Great for when you just need to pump the spice level. One drop will make your dish spicy, two drops very spicy, three drops sweating and hiccups

    Best I can find locally is Enconas Carolina Reaper sauce but I will say it’s nowhere near hot enough to justify that name imo. Always a bottle of Sirracha handy as well.
