Is Frank's the best hot sauce ever?

[tlongII]

Why yes, I think it is. :hungry:

[Blake]

Cholula> Franks imo

[CubanMustGo]

No.

I like the red pepper oil that they have at the Chinese restaurants.
I put some of that in a bowel and then squirt some of that hot sauce that has the rooster on the bottle. Which is good by itself also.

[RaZon]

Wouldn't you have to have tried all the sauces ever?

Nice.

That's the one I like also.

Ironic given your penchant for stupid rating lists.

[CuckingFunt]

No me gusta vinegar. Which pretty much ruins most hot sauces for me.

All hail Pico Pica.

No shitty vinegar either, and goes great on pork and chicken.

No, I'm talking about the other 99% of your posts.

You must have some prime taste buds. I dont care for vinegar either but with all the ingredients that goes into prepping hot sauce, how can you taste the vinegar?

I've fallen into this category, sadly.

Cant eat without pouring hot sauce on anything I eat....that isn't sweeten obviously.

I have to snap out of this horrid habit.

Ever looked at the ingredients? A lot of them are pretty much just garlic and chiles IN vinegar. It's a pretty major component. And an overpowering one.

Also, my hate for vinegar is pretty strong. Probably 90% of the flavors I don't like are because of some connection to vinegar.

[RaZon]

Before I give an opinion I'll need far more experience with sauces. The best ever.....that's pretty high praise.

I used to be the same way tbh. My mom would clean the coffee pot with vinegar and the smell would have me gagging. But over time, I've been able to separate pure vinegar from stuff that has it as a major ingredient. How deep does it go with you? Mustard, BBQ sauce?

No, never bothered with what goes into it.

Now I'll probably begin tasting vinegar because of you. grrrrr

I've been on a lot of boards amigo, you are by far the most fucked up poster Ive ever encountered. Not even close, that constant whine...damn!!!

Now get back on topic. Is Franks the best sauce ever? Now think idiot, can you know without having used ...................

Mustard, vinegar-based BBQ sauces, pickles, anything that has been pickled, vinaigrettes, vinegar-based marinades, anything that has a snooty balsamic reduction, and on and on.

It's the acetic acid that does it. Anything acidic is problematic for me, really. It's the reason I also don't like tomatoes (unless they're slow cooked in a sauce or soup). And even though I like citrus, I'm very, VERY slightly allergic to citric acid (too many glasses of orange juice in a day and I've got an itchy throat, too many glasses of lemonade and I could get hives in my mouth, etc.).

[Reck]

^Damn you're missing so much goods its sad.

[CuckingFunt]

^Damn you're missing so much goods its sad.

I'm not, though. With the exception of citric acid (which I do consume in small doses), it's not an allergy. So it's all stuff that I CAN eat, it's just a flavor I don't like. Sensitive buds, I guess.

Wow. That's pretty severe. What do you do to replace the benefits? A good portion of those acidic foods you mentioned actually help regulate your body's ph level and make it more alkaline.

mustard is very healthy to consume, tbh

[leemajors]

esp with all those pickled fresh veggies out there right now. Pickled ramps, cornichons, green beans, radishes, I even had some awesome pickled beets last week.

[CuckingFunt]

It's really limited to a flavor thing for me. Tomatoes, and vinegar, and things like that I don't like because they taste acidic. There's a specific bite/bitterness that I just don't like. But there are TONS of things I love, like meats and certain nuts, beans, grains, sugars, etc., that are acidic but are fatty or unctuous enough that they don't taste it. And there's also coffee, tea, booze, and sodas, all of which I drink way too much of.

It's my understanding, though, that most people these days have a diet that is far more acidic than it should be because all of the processed/refined foods we consume. Not sure how accurate that is, though. I'm far from a nutritionist or a strict health nut.

[CuckingFunt]

Not a huge fan of the cornichons, but otherwise I'd much rather eat all of the above fresh, raw, and un-fucked with.

But that's how I've always been with fruits and vegetables. There are several cooked preparations that I like, of course. For instance, if you really just have to add bacon or butter or good oil to something I'm not going to waste too much time fighting you. But for the most part I've just never understood the need to alter something that tastes so good after just picking, rinsing, and (if you have to) peeling. Never been big on salad dressing as a result. Or understood the need to add sugar to strawberries. Or to turn plump, juicy grapes into sad little raisins. And so forth.

[baseline bum]

I can taste strong vinegar flavor in stuff like Cholula and Tabasco; can't stand either.

[baseline bum]

Then again, I love Sri-Racha, which contains vinegar. I never have noticed the vinegar in it the way I do with Cholula and Tabasco.

[ohmwrecker]

Sriracha!

[CuckingFunt]

Then again, I love Sri-Racha, which contains vinegar. I never have noticed the vinegar in it the way I do with Cholula and Tabasco.

I think it might just be a smaller portion of the finished sauce. I'm not one that needs to add it to absolutely everything I eat, but I also like Sriracha.

pickling with just water, salt and or sugar produces much better results on fresh veggies imo.

[ohmwrecker]

Also, it's pretty funny to say hot cock sauce.

[DesignatedT]

no

[baseline bum]

That sucks; after trying it I can't imagine not having it. I like it on my carnitas even more than I do making fresh arbol salsa.

[ohmwrecker]

yes

1-Trader Joes Jalapeno Pepper Sauce…
2- Sambal Oelek…”Ground Fresh Chili Pepper”…

LMAO @ Franks & Cholula…I mean it may be OK for you crackers but in reality it is just Mexican catsup…

[baseline bum]

Just tried the El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik, and it is significantly hotter than their green habanero salsa. Keeps my mouth hot for a good 5 minutes or so like I had just eaten an habanero raw.

[Bill_Brasky]

Sriracha, valentina's, and chipotle tobasco are my top 3.

I fuckin love hot sauce.

Thanks Mexicans! :sombrero:

I don't consider Frank's a "hot sauce" as much as just a sauce.

[baseline bum]

Wow, Frank's is only 450 Scoville? That Kutbil-Ik is 11600. Thier green (8600) is pretty awesome too.

[DMC]

I can drink Frank's out of the bottle, it's not hot. It's good though.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

That Kutbil-Ik is 11600.
Pfffff. amateurs

[Notorious H.O.P.]

Agreed. I can go through almost half a bottle of Frank's or Louisiana Hot Sauce in one sitting. They may be low on the heat index but I'm just trying to add spice, not set my mouth on fire.

[InRareForm]

white man shit tbh..

[baseline bum]

Pfffff. amateurs

Suggestions for real be@ner hot sauce? (no racist)

[lebomb]

Franks may be nowhere near the hottest, but it has the best flavor by far..........
