Marie Sharp always at top for me. Just pick your style.

Was coming to post this. I grow a ton of peppers every year (mainly superhots) and make a lot of my own hot sauce but Marie Sharp's is by far the best sauce I have ever had and it is not even close.

for greens and beans, tabasco or louisiana

for other non asian, tapatio

for asian, sriracha

if i want heat, something ridiculous like da bomb or the source added in small amounts.

Chrystal and Red Dot depending on the application. I like most but those are the two that are always in my cabinet at home and at work.

Yes. For whatever reason, it never occurred to my dumb arse to try to buy online. Thanks. Order incoming. Haha

It depends on the dish, these in no order;












and if you are brave

1. Crystal (always first option)
2. Louisiana (if they don’t have Crystal)

Crystal is my favorite because it’s not very hot.

I can pile a lot on if I want for the flavor.


Somebody mentioned Crystal was hotter than Louisiana

And I thought the opposite.


Should I try Louisiana again?

Some good choices here but I’m partial to Melindas. Carrot base, not vinegar so it holds up well on the shelf.

I make my own and use them almost exclusively, but when out in a restaurant and eating a po-boy, I'm using Crystal as my first choice, La. Hot Sauce and then Tabasco brand.

My hot sauce is considerably hotter than many of the local commercial brands and that is more to my liking. I make mine with a combination of Habanero, Trinidad Scorpion Butch T's and Ghost peppers.

Do you use the same recipe you shared with me with these peppers

Yes. That is my go-to recipe for hot sauce and it only depends on the heat level of the peppers that determine the heat level of the finished product------as you well know with Carolina Reapers as your base.
