I love hot sauce but are any of these new sauces better than Tabasco?

Nearly ANY hot sauce is better than that kerosene equivalent.

Now that’s a whole ‘nother kettle a-fish.

I’m sure many of the Thai prepared pastes and sauces have fish sauce in them. It has a prominent location on my spice rack.
I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near where they made it however...probably smells just like a lobster-bait truck.

Sriracha is best with complex foods.
It has a heavy garlic component.

Sambal Oelek is the old malay word ~ which by the time it got to Korea was turned into Sambak~ there's no 'l' in Korean. ~ so if you see Sambak it's the same product. The other differences are due to the addition of tomato or pepper puree, or soy sauce ~ either dark or light soy with or without sorgham, and or shrimp paste!

At some point they kind of blend into cat siap betang or cat siap manis or, ketchup!

Then there are the chutneys and that is a whole 'nuther can of veggies and spices.

If you really want to get into some hot stuff learn the SE Asian vocabularies for spicy dishes and sauces ~ in all 4 or 5 of the main languages ~ Thai, Bhassa, Hokien, Dutch and English. ~ Be Prepared ~ and order coca cola as the all purpose emergency standby because when water or beer won't work (to cool the chilis) coke will.

I scarfed down 3 fresh, raw, habeneros. I won the bet

I'll bet....no wait, I mean...

I hope that bet was for an awful lot of money, otherwise we may be questioning your sanity or IQ.

OK. Anyway, when consuming comparable, normal amounts of the habernero, it will give little or no intestinal distress compared to the jalapeno.

Business Inside just woke up to this??? There are already hot sauce shops all over this country, and they have been there for quite a while. Get with the program.

No, this appears to have been made onsite, served in shallow plastic cups with lids. The dried pepper, oil and other ingredients are not pureed into a sauce per se. At a glance it looks like they took the standard red pepper flakes you’d see in a pizza joint or cheap Italian place, dumped them into the cup and poured oil over them. Doesn’t taste like that though.

Bufalo Chipotle is good stuff.
I have trouble finding it though.

Rub down some pork chops with that and them zest some lime on them and grill em. salt and pepper to taste.

That's my simple recipe for Yucatan Poke Chops

I bought the Tuong Ot Toi Viet-Nam Chili Garlic Sauce based on what I have read here. I'm about halfway through my first jar. There is very much in the world that improves with this sauce. Used it in Oysters Rockefeller the other day just under the melted mozzarella. About a half teaspoon per oyster, divine.

This is a subject that I can relate too. In another life, I was known as “PyroMan”. I founded Pyropepper.com, one of the original 3 fiery foods retailers on the web. I operated for 14 years and shipped hot sauces all over the world. It was fun! Anyway, I am a HUGH and SERIES Chilehead and eat hot sauce with every meal. To answer the original question “are any of these new sauces better than Tabasco?”, it is a matter of personal taste. Hot sauces are like wine, in that the illiterations are infinite, and it depends on the food pairing.

Like a lot of others, I’m a big fan of sriracha, but I also love El Yucateco. Both the chile habanero and salsa verde are numbingly great with heat AND flavor.

Not a nouc mam fan?

Thank You I had forgotten the name. I was 17 then 1968 first time out of the USA lol! I am sure the factory made is cleaner than the homemade, from seeing the homemade they just put the left overs from fish into a pot and let it go rancid! So no I never tried it as far as I know Take note I said as far as I know. I know I ate a lot of stuff there I didnt want to know what it was lol....

Yes I do like A1 Sauce

That is funny, Ketchup is basically a fine pureed chutney isn’t it?

Chinese mustard and Wasabi

Man, when I have Chinese or Japanese food, I'll put as much of that stuff as I can stand on it. One dollop too much, however, and they'll take your breath away. Love them!
