The Official CPF Hot Sauce Thread!

Nothing too crazy ...

I like lots of flavor, not just heat.

I'm going to pigeon forge/gatlinburg area in a couple of weeks. I will update with any purchases made. : D my wife will kill me haha I have my eyes on this one.

 

[bigburly912]

Any new recommended sauces out there?

 

[bigburly912]

Got a few new sauces!

 

[StarHalo]

So can you do anything with Dave's Ghost Pepper sauce?

 

[bigburly912]

I haven't tried it yet. It shouldn't be too horribly bad. I'm thinking it's around 650000 scoville. A few drops in a taco salad or chili beans should be fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of the flavor of Ghost Peppers, I think they taste Smokey with a hint of like burning rubber but I'll give it a shot.

"The End."

I tried that recently-- it certainly is hot but there was no complexity of flavor. It was something of a disappointment in that respect.

 

[bigburly912]

It's an odd sauce for sure. I was happy that it didn't burn forever like some of the extremely hot sauces I've had in the past.

 

[bigburly912]

This stuff is absolutely wonderful. It's not very hot at all but the taste is great!! I've been eating it on everything.



The chipotle ketchup from pepper palace is some of the best I've ever had. Beats the socks off of any sriracha ketchup I've ever tried. (They have their own sriracha ketchup as well)

Got it!

My impressions: The Scorpion heat is immediate and sharp, brings out the usual eating-hot-sauce-for-a-while symptoms right from the first drop - snotting and burning awareness of any imperfection on your face is the introduction. And the heat rings out like a bell, very napalm-esque in that you still feel the burning for some time after taking the bite (you get a bonus burn when belching too, so this is probably highly entertaining with beer..) Not much going on in the flavor department, the taste is a uniform dark, bitter red flavor, like a red enchilada sauce. This will probably work best on something you want to retain most of the original flavor of, like a complex chili or piled-high pizza. It won't replace Marie Sharp's for me, but it is a very unique gotta-try addition to the collection..

Thanks for the review! Kind of disappointed that it doesn't have much of a player. Tobasco is KNOWN for flavor.

Wow... I thought I could handle hot sauces, but this kicked my tail big-time, so I guess I'm just a wimp.

And for me, the heat was NOTICEABLE immediately, but it kept building over time until my tongue felt as if I had touched a red-hot poker to it.

The upshot is that our handy Scoville scale tells us that the numbers for scorpion peppers and defensive pepper spray actually intersect - you can officially tell people you've eaten food as hot as pepper spray.

you'll work up a tolerance to pretty much anything if you're using it on a somewhat regular basis. heat is also pretty difficult to quantify & there's plenty inconsistency involved. i mentioned using a few drops of scorp per bite on my jersey mike's subs, but in same breath, i've bitten into plain old jalepenos from walmart that damned near choked me.

The two kinds of peppers I've found that can getcha are jalepenos and padrons. Usually can eat a basket-full, but maybe one or two in there will bite ya 😱oo:

It's amazing when you are eating a bag of fresh jalapeños and then you get that one that literally is so hot it feels like acid.

Yeah, I might use a different term than "amazing" though ....

Which sub?

 

[nosuchagency]

regular #9 on wheat. sometimes instead of sauce i have them with bunch of mezetta's hot chili peppers; like one per bite. on very rare occassion will get a #17, but only eat them with mezetta hot jalepeno slices, alot of them. you can see pattern forming, rofl...

(edited for mezzetta spellin')

Yeah, I only ever do a club there, never tried it with hot sauce though, will have to try that..
