I'd share my bbq, but then I'd have to kill you

It's long but I'll try to remember to post it this weekend

We share recipes all the time. There is a long list of recipes on this topic including hot sauce and BBQ. Just go to the page notation at the bottom of the page after clicking on the recipe topic and start going back in time. We have posted several this summer.

Personally, I think of hot sauce, picante, and salsa as all being completely different food groups, yet I see the use of "hot sauce" for all three.

To me, hot sauce is the stuff that comes in the little bottle like Tabasco. It usually consists of some combination of peppers and vinegar. The vinegar allows it to sit out without refrigeration.

Picante is the mix of hot peppers and other ingredients such as tomatoes and cilantro that is great home made and is used in much of Texas cooking. There are some pretty good jar varieties. It will spoil.

Salsa is the lame stuff served in restaurants with chips and sold in jars that is too tame to be of interest.

And, just to echo the truth, "it's all about the flavor".

i know its not about the burn,, but flavor. the sauces i like are very flavorful,, and it does burn, but its great burn. and i prefer to use real peppers. i have some cayanne aging in my window right now.

I could eat this stuff on EVERYTHING.

Wow!!

Tried that. To much for me!!

Gave it to a friend!!

God bless your taste buds!!!

Try mixing a little into your favorite marinade (use like you would tabasco or something). It gives a kick but tones down the heat a lot.

I love this stuff.

Well not that anyone cares but my hot wings (homemade) were frickin' awesome the other night. Yay!!! Good times, good food, good friends. That's what I'm talking about. Oh yeah, good beer too.
:)

Franks is my fav! I always put it on my baked potato, mmmmmmm

... ALWAYS have this on hand ... FANTASTIC ... !!! ...

I have that one, but I like to use GOYA RECAITO (green cilantro
based sauce ) on everything! I also use GOYA SOFRITO (red sauce)
to make Spanish Chicken

I also love Thai Sweet Chili Sauce

I have to agree on this one, cilantro makes miracles of any sauce, rich aroma, spikes up the taste. Yes I too make my own sauces for any occasion, especially spicy, extra kick in the gutt or butt.. whatever the case maybe

This isn't so hot really, its like ketchup for my sibblings and for me, for commercial use only.. we grow our own chili peppers (various countries). I guess to some this be good enough.

I make my own.Depends on what the meat is and other dishes in the meal.The simple green sauce (jalapenos,cilantro,garlic,tomatillos,salt)is one of my faves though.You can kick in more heat or tone it down by the amount of jalapenos you put in,or you can use seranos or habaneros instead.

Last nite I cooked chicken in Bone Suckin' Sauce.....Yummy!

I like Frank's Hot Sauce,if I decide to cheat and get store bought instead of making my own.

There is a Vietnamese version of the above mentioned product. Tuong ot Toi. But when all is said and done it is nothing more than a chili garlic paste. Now, when I went to Big City Burrito here in Denver, they had a hot sauce called "Amazon," I was quite pleased with the flavor and the hotness. Now, if you want to go overboard, and go for maximum hotness, try something called "Afterdeath," this stuff should be illegal.

you haven't had the burn until you've tried "Endorphin Rush"

It's like BBQ sauce for the first 8 seconds and then it's all heat.
