Taco Bell Fire Sauce

[Markbnj]

One of my kids must have bought this stuff and left it in the fridge. I say that even though my wife is always on the hunt for new hot sauces for me, because I just don't think she would have considered this a candidate.

It's called "Fire Sauce" and on the label it says "I'm up for it if you are." Well. That must be some pretty spicy stuff. I grabbed a spoon and tried it. I didn't carry the experiment on too long, but I can tell you definitively that a large table spoon cannot hold enough of this shit to make it taste spicy. It makes Franks taste like ghost pepper juice. So, lol @ what America thinks is spicy, I guess.

ooooh salsa

oh god is that an onion!

Simmer down, no need to get personal about it.

 

[momeNt]

Whoah buddy. Whoah.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

If its the same stuff they give in their packets, its not spicy at all.

 

[Fritzo]

Maybe you've burned out your receptors and can't tell if things are hot or not anymore.

 

[Markbnj]

Simmer down, no need to get personal about it.

But, but, I swear you could chug this crap from the bottle. It's really that bland. When you get to a full spoon of it there's this little hint like the truck drove past a pepper field on the way to the distribution center, but that's it man.

 

[Markbnj]

Whoah buddy. Whoah.

I know! But don't make a big deal out of it. Not every thread can be epic and I don't want other posters to feel bad.

It's Taco Bell, and the most spicy you can get there. What is also amazing is that they have a hot sauce that is lower than mild. It has no spice whatsoever but gives you some sort of a "hot sauce" to put on your crap. I can't even imagine what that tastes like. Tomato paste with onion salt probably.

Found it!:

I'm trying to figure out how anything could be less spicy than this and not come in a can that says Hunts on the side.

The sad part about it is, it is the only sauce at Taco Bell that doesn't taste like ass. The other sauces are so bland it makes me want to literally kill myself.

Fire sauce is a joke. That should be the mild, and it goes up from there. Someone here turned me on to Valentina extra hot sauce. Probably the best bang/buck sauce you can get. Not exceptionally hot, but it's got decent heat, and a nice flavor. I use it as a ketchup replacement for burgers and stuff. You can get a liter at Walmart for less than $2.

This is my newest acquisition...

Holy shit is it hot! I may have been particularly sensitive when I tried, but I definitely think it's hotter than their ghost chili sauce. Tastes good, but a little goes a long way.

I'm actually not an extreme chilihead. I'll try anything, but I like my sauces to actually be usable in amounts that affect the flavor as well as the spiciness. Berserker, Ludicrous, and Original Juan's 100% Pain are three of my favorites, and they are just about the right level of heat for me for flavoring. For dipping wings and crap I like Franks as much as the next guy.

For wings, I use Franks as a starter, but I add quite a bit of chili powder (I dehydrate habaneros and grind them) for heat. But, I am a sucker for vinegar / acidic stuff.

I'm the same, and I think a lot of people enjoy that acidic base. I also prefer vinegary salad dressings to the creamy variety. The three "hot" sauces that I mentioned above are notable for not having much if any vinegar flavor, but a lot of roasted pepper flavor and other overtones that are hard to describe, and a ton of kick of course.

Tapatio for me as my #1 mexican hot sauce for tacos, burritos, etc.

I also like huy fong's chili garlic - not as sweet as sriracha, spicier, and more garlic, for other style of dishes that I want to bring heat to.

Only spicy things I eat are mexican and whatever you want to call beef, rice, cheese and chili garlic, in a moo shu wrap.

You're confused. It is Taco Bell -- "Fire" doesn't describe the taste of anything going into your mouth, it describes the feeling of stuff that comes out of your other end after you've eaten Taco Bell.

But don't you need the fire up above to get the fire down below?

The burning is caused by the friction from all the toilet paper you're going to need.

Only on ATOT are there nerds with sensitive stomachs who can't eat Taco Bell without pooping themselves.

I use those wet wipe things, they make short work of the mess.

At this point I feel it is appropriate to quote an exchange purportedly written on the walls of a men's bathroom stall somewhere in the Purdue University engineering school:

"Nothing is impossible!"
"It is impossible to shit on the ceiling."
"Not really, its a simple matter of sufficient pressure, correct viscosity, and a good ass-upwards aim."

Fire sauce is delicious, not spicy though.

 

[edro]

Valentina hot sauce is my favorite for Mexican food. Mildly hot, but very tasty.

 

[Slacker]

This is my current favorite for a good usable hot sauce with a nice flavor.
