Hot Pepper Sauces...
...I appreciate we've done this some time ago, but tastes change. I keep returning to Tabasco as the sauce of choice. This lunch time I thought I'd have a break and go for the Encona West Indian Hot Pepper Sauce.Yeah, I think it's OK, it's a tad gloopy, I guess that's the Xanthan gum and there's a sort of sweetness I'm not over keen on, but it's not bad.
Any favourites?

Went to Hooters in Nottingham last Friday. The Wing sauce there is awful and they are so stingy too. Surely wings should be drowned in hot sauce nearly!
The service on the other hand was exemplary data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Encona is good, but my preference is Cholula's range of Hot Sauces.
I bought a bottle of Blair's Death Sauce in the US some years ago.......used sparingly as it tastes like **** I have been working my way through the Nandos collection, rather like the garlic and herb one. It's great smeared over a nice corn on the cob! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce. All the best data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Dave's Insanity sauce is a regular one for me:
Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce from Dave's Gourmet, Inc. - The original super hot sauce & originally banned!
The local burger van has "Crucials" Hot Sauce - this stuff is lovely on a burger or such, a little like a relish. Lovely taste with a little kick to it.
Haven't had any for a while but Frank's Red Hot was a lovely sauce:
Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne from Reckitt Benckiser Inc. -
Windmill also not had for some time but a lovely taste :
Windmill Hot Pepper Sauce from Windmill Industries Ltd. - probably the best 'Mustard Sauce' in the World...
Cholula as also mentioned before:
Cholula Salsa Picante Hot Sauce from Casa Cuervo S.A. de C.V. - a tangy red sauce made with chile de arbol and piquin peppers
And the classic Sriracha:
Flying Goose Sriracha Super Hot Chilli from Sea World Cold Storage Co., Ltd. -
I could go on for ages about hot sauces, there's too many I like data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 The Nandos hot sauce range is surprisingly burny, I couldn't actually believe it when I went to the restaurant and tried them, really hot........
I am currently growing my own Trinidad Scorpion Peppers and hope to whip up my own batch of sauce at the end of summer..... I tried my hand at some hot sauce a while back with home grown habanero chilli peppers. Didn't use much though as it damn near melted my face off!
My brother is growing some ghost chillies this year, could be interesting.... Grew some chocolate jolokias at home, they turned out to be pretty firey, hoping for more this year data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 Its been nearly 2 weeks and only one seed has popped through the soil, is this normal? Are the rest likely to germinate, when should I transplant..........?
I realize you may not know the answers here?
