One of the High Holy Days. I have 5 bottles that I haven’t opened yet.

Love those el yucateco sauces.

wps456 · January 22

That’s a heckuva collection. Did some hot legs (drumsticks) on the egg last night with Frank’s, really good. My favorite hot sauce though is Magic Pepper Sauce from Paul Prudhomme. It’s actually not all that hot but the flavor is incredible!

The El yucateca sauces are phenomenal!

If you order The General’s Hot Sauce directly from their website you get free shipping and 10% off for an order over$50. I ordered the 6 pack.

Based on a post here, I ordered the 6 pack of General's before Xmas. Gave some away and still have 3 of the hottest flavours (nod). Don't need refrigeration after opening.

Hadn't heard of Valentina's or The General's.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Another one that I like is Melinda's but it's been hard to find lately. Guess I'll have to order a variety box.

Valentina's is very similar in style to Tapatio. Usually found in large bottles on the bottom shelf at the market.

For the General’s I watched several ewetube reviews. The consensus seems to be that Dead Red has the best flavor with being plenty hot. I guess that I will find out in a few days.

Weird. Our grocery has it on the top shelf.

For those with access to H‑E‑B this stuff is darn good. Plenty of kick

I had someone gift me a bottle of that. Agreed it’s some good stuff.

You need to double check that - could be dangerous.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

So odd. Safeway and King Soopers (Kroger) carried all of their sauces. Their websites indicate they have inventory.

Will have to check it out. Have you tried any of their salsa's? We really like this one. We get it at out H-E-B.

Texapeno Hot Salsa - Shop Salsa Dip at H-E-B

The Melinda’s ghost pepper is pretty legit. I like it on cheese pizza for some odd reason.

Most of the hot sauce consumed here is cholula, Valentina’s, and Texas Pete.

TechsasJim · January 24

This is a good one too

Texas Pete is excellent. I must have had a brain fade to not include it in the picture.

A couple of my recent purchases. High Desert and Rising Smoke

I’ll try this again.. pic heavy… and, in no particular order….

lousubcap · January 25

@MaskedMarvel - you are dealing with some serious heat right there. Great project. Thanks for the pics.

Legume · January 25

Damn, fire in the hole!

Gulfcoastguy · January 25

The Generals 6 pack of sauces arrived today. Only tried the mildest on a chicken sandwich and fries. Tasty but really just salsa verde.

1voyager · January 27

Picked up a bottle of Valentina's Extra Hot yesterday. It's delicious!

@Legume - I agree with you. It tastes very similar to Tapatio.

Thanks again for your suggestions, everyone.

BTW - It was on the top shelf. On other great news, Melinda's is back in stock.

Howdy, Stranger!
