PS adding chocolate to the thing would work but greatly complicates the production.

Why mess with genius?

Raspberry and hot flavors seem to have a natural affinity.

When mixed together, you get a delectable raspberry taste and a hot kick at the same time.

Are the raspberry powders you mentioned adding to the hot sauce sweetened?

Mix that with the adobo from San Marcos brand Chipotles,

You can mix all that with cream cheese and just spread it on things.

But the Cheesecake... The Cheesecake!

No-—I use unsweetened raspberry powder.

I have some recipes for that, and will have to try them. They make really nice buffet food

I’ll try that.

I just don’t like my hot sauce to be sweet. We’ve always got Sriracha for some recipes, but I don’t really like it as an accompaniment to Mexican food. I want my hot sauce sort of vinegar-y and not sweet.

Always a hit!

You can use Cocktail sauce too.

You just use them frozen meatballs in a bag.
Easy Peasy.

Sriracha is great in a bowl of Pho Tai Nam, but not on my Taco.

I tend to like a tomatillo and serrano based salsa verde on my Mexican chow, with cilantro and white diced onions.

Especially Pork

My favorite cold soup is Gazpacho, very plain:

Gazpacho

2 Large Tomatoes
1 Large Cucumber
1/3 C. Red Wine Vinegar
1/3 C. Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion
1/4 tsp. Hot Pepper Sauce (Tabasco)
1 Medium Green Pepper
1-1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Pimiento, drained (opt.)
1/8 tsp. Black Pepper
24 oz. Tomato Juice
2 Cloves Garlic

¼ Cup Chopped Chives (garnish)
Sour Cream (garnish)

In electric blender, combine:
1 Tomato
½ Cucumber
½ Onion
¼ Green Pepper
Pimiento, if used
½ Cup Tomato Juice

Blend at high speed to puree.
In a large bowl, combine pureed vegetables with remaining Tomato Juice, Olive Oil, Vinegar, Hot Pepper Seasoning, Salt and Pepper. Refrigerate covered until well-chilled, at least 2 hours.
Refrigerate 6 serving bowls.

Chop separately the remaining Tomato, Cucumber, Onion and Green Pepper. Just before serving, crush the garlic and add to soup with the rest of the chopped vegetables.
Serve with garnish of Chives and Sour cream.

I usually use a regular can of diced tomatoes instead of the one tomato that goes in the blender, and then chop up some fresh tomatoes for the ‘whole veggie’ part. And I peel the part of the green pepper that doesn’t get blended, because green pepper with the skin can be very fibrous and chewy.

(And I don’t add the Pimento. Don’t like Pimento ;-)

Yes. It goes great with SE Asian food.

I prefer the Huy Fong Chili Garlic paste and a splash of Hoisin in Pho but Sriracha is a good old ubiquitous condiment.

Huy Fong makes the Sriracha too.
