I think the bog standard McIlhenny Tabasco is great.
only discovered these recently… the Ghost pepper one is devine… I use it on everything
Even gifted some to relatives over Xmas!
Easily the best and most consistent hot sauce I've ever had.
There's a rule about giving food safety advice on this forum, but I know what I'd be doing as long as it smelled fine...
worked with Bruce years ago in pubs in Boston - he never took prisoners then either
Buldak Korean hot chicken sauce available in Lidl from next Thursday 16th. Anyone had them before or know anything about them?
Very nice in my opinion - I think it's the same as the sachets in the regular Buldak hot noodles (maybe not the "2x" or "3x"). Oddly enough I was looking to order some from Asia Market this week so thanks for the tip !
I've had similar. I'ts full of artificial chicken powders and sweeteners, but tasty enough if that's your thing!
Lidl Asian special €3.89. Wouldn't have bought it myself but my son got the hot one and was in town myself and got the Extremely spicy one. All I've done so far is lick the foil cap on the hot chicken flavour sauce when I opened it. Not a problem for me tasted good, but don't try that at home if you are not really into very hot sauces. About the hottest thing I've tried recently that describes itself as hot. The word hot needs at least a couple of exclamation marks after it.
Edit> Just tried the hot (mostly red) one with some cold meat. Disappointinly not as hot as I had previously thought.
Nah, stick to the real chillies.
Funny you should mention that. I made up some noodles today with one Aldi chilli. OMG hottest thing I've eaten in ages.
It was reach for the soft toilet paper hot!
Normally 2 fresh chillies would provide the heat I like but the Aldi ones are a bit longer than normal so luckily I only used one.
Oh, maybe it was a green finger chilli?
Sometimes you get lucky with those mixed chilli bags. Seems like you hit the jackpot! 😵
If not mixed, then I am heading to Aldi! 😋😈
I bought a bag of those Aldi chillies last week, long green and red ones in the packet. Put two in a rice dish and i was surprised by the heat. I quickly acclimatised though, so by about a third of the way through eating i was very happy with the heat level.

The killer one was yellow. The heat going in was wonderful. The effects coming out were, well lets not go there.
The last of my homegrown chilli's just ready, Basket of Fire chilli's, they don't have a high Scoville number but are some of the hottest chilli's I've ever eaten. Made some nice oil and chutney from these or just had them added to curries.
As expected my local Tesco hasn't stocked El Yucateco. Gone in multiple times and not on the shelf, asked a staff member to check his scanner this evening and nope, nothing out the back. Grrrr! I know i can order it elsewhere online but not at the price Tesco is selling it for.
Mr. Bells here in Cork has a good selection. Perhaps I can post them to you?
Its hot sauce Friday here, exciting times, this time I carefully injected chicken goujon's with the hottest sauce I had, see my previous post, they look like normal plain goujons, but packing a serious punch,🥵 I left a few untouched as well. This will be like Russian roulette with chicken goujons, what this space………. 🤯
Lunch is over and I lost a few friends as well. 🤣🤣🤣 But that was fun in a dark way, one co-worker, who didn't know about the chicken goujons, asked if he could try some hot hot sauce, so he grab an already loaded goujon and dipped it in the Carolina-reaper hot sauce and munched on the entire thing in one go. He was running for the milk 30 seconds later, 2 minutes later he was nearly crying. He's ok now, and he saw the funny side. But that was an interesting way of using hot sauce. Next months idea is,

This is the injector I used for hot sauce goujons.

No need, i can just order direct from them. Thanks for the kind offer though.
Hot sauce ish I spose.
Just had it on some avocado toast with a fried egg. Lovely

Tastes a bit like this stuff. But nicer imo
Must try making it as I've 500ml of olive oil that I got in a Christmas hamper.
By the way, where did you get the dried chillis
I've made this in the past, also good.
And a hot sauce as well I suppose

Lovely, yeah always have some in the fridge. Again, amazing with eggs
Try making this sauce with it. So good. Great with chicken.

Got the chilis in Get Fresh in Rathfarnham
Supervalu Carrigaline. Don't appear to have the one with pineapple any more. Hopefully they'll get it back in. Bought the black one. There's no mention of relative heat, so went with % of chilli
The black one is very good. Smoky, if I remember correctly.
Just bought some Chipotle and pasilla peppers in Mr. Bells. Will make it over the weekend.
Good work. I made some chicken thighs (on the bone) with it. Delicious. Marinade and a few spoonfuls after its cooked.
Its quite dark and smoky so would recommend a salsa or guac or something with it.
I see that Cholula have introduced an extra hot sauce.
Which is great. As tasty as Cholula is, it was never really a hot hot sauce.
OK, after power cuts, work, etc. finally got a chance to make it last night. My advice, when making it for the first time, is half the recipe.
I made a full batch of it, and I think I made an error. I used the jar of chopped garlic as I didn't have any whole cloves. I think the garlic burned when heating the sesame seeds, almonds, and garlic in the oil. So now, rather than the smokiness of the chillies, I have a burnt taste, which isn't my favourite. I have more oil, chillies, etc., so I might make a half batch with cloves of garlic.
No biggie, mistakes are to be expected, but the potential for a very nice sauce is there.
Yeah I burned it the first time I made it too. Garlic can go from golden to burned very very quickly. Think you need whole garlic to make it work tbh
