Anything beyond Franks Hot or Louisiana Gold is a non-starter for me. I don't need too much heat I like the flavor.
I've tried the Tabasco Scorpion twice since buying it yesterday; this morning on grits along with some green chile sauce and jack cheese. It's a good addition to the ready and handy everyday condiment stock. The bottle orifice is tiny for a reason - to prevent the user from overdoing things. It's certainly worth a taste.
I'm always trying new hot sauces and have for years. It's been hard to find a non-worthy one, but the cheapest ones all taste about the same and have minimal heat; still better than nothing. A meal without a little fire is truly a dull meal.
After trying many hot sauces, I still find regular Tabasco (thin and runny as it may be) the closest to an all around hot sauce. It's the only emergency hot sauce I carry in my car.
Pickled jalapeno is as hot as I like to go. Yah, light weight, I know. Fine with me.![]()
