I put that stuff on everything. Eggs, noodles, sandwiches, subs, vegetables, chicken, soup, bread, chilli, pizza, etc.. It makes every boring or ok food AWESOME. Franks Red Hot and Tabasco is good too but they can't match the price of Sriracha, 710ml for $1.50 of at the Dollar Store. And some places (like this Japanese hut in the mall) have a bottle of it already there. And in the cold of Winter hell it warms you right up. It's silly not to put Sriracha on everything.

It's silly to put Sriracha on anything IMHO, but to each his own.
 
Probably my three favorite, if not going for burnage.

There are others, and depends what I'm eating, for what it's worth.

try this one

melindas-naga-jolokia.jpg


This is the one I tried which is imo noticeably hotter than Tobasco on a per drop basis but as I understand it this brand has a selection of heat ranges. It had a noticeable and to me nice flavor. Just before the heat got to me.

Melinda's is good stuff. I've never had this Jolokia variety, but all the Jolokia sauces I have tried, I didn't like. I just don't like the flavor of Jolokia. Habanero is just too delicious for me.

My favorite brand, next to El Yucateco, is Marie Sharps. They make a lot of great blends, particular the grapefruit and orange blends. Those are delicious on most anything.

I'd actually like something with a little less heat than Tabasco if it would have the same flavor as Tabasco. Naga Jolokia would be too much heat for me. Thanks for the suggestion anyway tho.

This, then:

cayenne and vinegar-based like tobasco, but not quite as hot. And much, much tastier, tbh. You cant' have real BBQ without this on your table.

Tell highland to go stfu. :colbert:

also, whoever said "the delicate american palate". have you ever MAD DOG??

I have a bottle of that around here too, I like it on eggs and breakfasty things.

We usually have a big bottle of Cholula around, the wife loves that stuff and I use that a bit to for things.

Think that one about empty atm.

I've gotten in the habit of putting certain ones on certain things over the years I guess, but I still try things out.

See, I always thought cock sauce and sriracha were the same thing; just that one had the cock brand. Huy Fong makes both, right?

sriracha is a region so it could not be trademarked or something to that effect, so many companies are making sriracha sauces.

Huy Fong aka cock sauce is the OG sriracha sauce.
 
I love sriracha and use it to make beef jerky.

Whenever I need to destroy my mouth and intestines, I reach for my bottle of Matouk's Trinidad Scorpion Pepper Sauce. I also use a relish my friend makes from homegrown ghost and scorpion peppers. The stuff is insanely hot, but it's very good.
 
I've been eating Huy Fong (Cock Brand) Sriracha before the sriracha style hot sauces became popular in the US. It has its place but as some noted, it's on the sweeter side and while it brings a bit of heat, it's not super hot by any means. I think it goes well as a dipping sauce in certain cases as well as an addition to soups like Pho.

Seeds aside, I prefer the hot sauce that Svnla linked. Also made by Huy Fong but less sugar, more chunky.

The thing I like about both Huy Fong hot sauces is they complement rather than overpower. Some hot sauces are simply made so damn hot that you can't taste anything except the hot sauce.

If you want an oil based chili sauce, try some Lao Gan Ma. Very good sauce. Contains peanuts so watch the allergies.
