Yeah, there are sauces out there hotter than Tabasco but are they BETTER?
Almost everything is better than Tabasco. Tabasco is just hot and watery. Red Hot, in contrast, is thick and flavorful.
In a Bloody Mary? Probably not. In other applications? Definitely yes.
Arguing about the "better" hot sauce is like arguing about the "better" sportscar. Wouldn't you rather have a dozen in the garage?
There are different hot sauces for different foods. Tabasco is good, but I like the green Tabasco better. I have good old Louisiana Hot sauce for Cajun foods, I make fresh salsa with Jalapeno juice for Mexican food.
I have the rooster sauce for Aisian cooking, Chile paste with garlic, Green and Red Thai Curry paste, and recently found out how to make that killer hot table sauce for Indian curries.
The best flavored hot sauce is Habernero based, but you better be careful with it....
DO NOT SLURP YOUR SOUP!
Cholula...
hands down the best sauce out there..
It is hot, but you can actually taste the other ingredients..
go for the bottle with the wooden cap
