Bone Suckin' Sauce Opinion ?

Grillin & Chillin

Hi Everyone
I did "advance" search on forum for any info on "Bone Suckin' Sauce" & went back a little over a year and could find no info. I recently bought some and have not tried it yet. I also ordered some "Blues Hog" which I will get next week and have never tried. I have always used what I can pickup easy and local such as Sweet Baby Rays, Johnny Harris, Texas Pete, Jack Miller & Peter Luger. So what do you think of "Bone Suckin' Sauce"?
Thanks

edit: I thought that was Ray Lampe's product but it isn't but it's still a good sauce!

Tried it recently after buying a jar at the Weeping Radish brewery on the way to OBX. I thought it was good, not great. I'd use it again, but wouldn't rush or go out of my way to get it. I also want to try Blues Hog as I've heard good things...anyone know if you can buy it anywhere in the Wash DC region?

I have LOVED bone suckin sauce for years!! was thrilled when harris teeter started carrying it on their shelves!! ...great on chicken and ribs. ..i also like sweet baby rays a lot and blues hog, but bone suckin sauce is still in my top five all time!!

mad max beyond eggdome

walrusegger

Max, I too saw it at HT the other day (Arlington)...nice to know it's there when I want to get it again.

Thanks

LOL. . . no problem ron. . .

The Peter Luger sauce tastes like cocktail sauce. About spit it out when I put it on my steak. I have to admit, it does not say steak sauce. It should not even be sold by the meat counter. Bone suckin is good. I like many that you listed.

walrus was asking about a source for blues hog. ..lot harder to find than bone suckin. ..hell you can find bone suckin sauce all over the place now, harris teeter, even at cracker barrel stores around the country. ..

Grillin & Chillin

I thought same thing when I tried it but when eating there in NYC it was served hot and was totally different than cold and was super... I asked them and they said it needs to be heated. Makes all the difference in the world. Try it HOT you will love it. It's the only sauce I know of sold in the refrigerated section.

I ordered mine from BBQGuru since they carried Blues Hog & Dizzy Pig products I could pay only one shipping charge to get both hard to find products.

HungryMan

Thanks, I have to see if I didn't toss it. If not I'll try it heated. Just tasted to weird to be used on steak, but would be great on shrimp.

I think buying pre-made BBQ sauce is for the lazy and time limited, of which I am both

I bought some a couple weeks back - I got it for $5.99 a jar which I have been told is a good price. It's pretty good, no complaints.

If you are into making your own, the BBQ sauce recipe found in the recent version of the Joy of Cooking is really good (perhaps even prefer). I think you could make a jar's worth for about a tenth the price of a jar of bone suckin'.

I have been using Bone Suckin' sauce for probably 10 years now and it has been my #1 (store bought) goto sauce during that time. I just received a quart jar of Blue's hog last week, but have not opened it yet and from what I have read, it may push the BSS down to #2, we shall see.

What I like about BSS is it is thinner and less sweet that most other store bought sauces. I don't like that thick overly sweet junk that most brands pass off as sauce.

I think you will like it.

mad max beyond eggdome

you know, even though you trying to be a little self effacing in your answer, you still insist on insulting most of the readers of this forum with your response!! ...i just don't get it ....you made a perfectly good contribution to the discussion with your second two sentences without that totally unesseccary 1st sentence . ..i just don't get it....

there are probably lots of reasons that people don't make their own bbq sauces (and rubs). .. frankly, in my case, its not because i'm lazy or even time limited (although i could sure site my time as a major factor), but i recognize that i don't have a very good palate for mixing and matching various herbs and spices and sauces in a complex manner to derive a sauce that matches what i can buy on the market. . .so why should i make something that i know i can't do as well as what i know others already can. . .iknow and recognize my limitations. ..

again though. ... i just don't get why you feel the need to insult everyone everytime you post, even wheyn you are trying to make a good contribution ....its just beyond me. ...

You said "What I like about BSS is it is thinner and less sweet that most other store bought sauces. I don't like that thick overly sweet junk that most brands pass off as sauce." I highly doubt you're going to like the Blues Hog sauce then...

Oh Oh..... :ermm:

I sometimes cut the blues hog with a little of their Tennessee red.

Grillin & Chillin

I got my 16oz jar for $4.95........at the Coast Guard Station

if you have access to Blue Tennessee Red sauce that is good stuff and by cutting the Hog with TN Red like 3 to 1 that actually makes a pretty good sauce that I bet you might really like. The TN Red takes the sweet edge off. I love TN Red by itself as a finishing sauce served heated and on the side with a pork loin roast. Good stuff!

Thanks for the tip.... I'll get some on order and give it a try.

Perhaps while you are developing your palette you could work on your sense of humour... yeesh...

Try the joy of cooking BBQ sauce - it's quite good.

I love it. They also have a "hot" version, which is my preference of the two. I like it because it's thinner than most of the other sauces off the shelf - also the sodium content is less than many (and I'm always looking for ways to reduce sodium without compromising taste). I also recommend their mustard sauce - great with chicken (fried, grilled) - and also a good dipping sauce. Have not tried Blues Hog, as I can't find it around here - if anyone knows of a source along the Gulf Coast (I live in Mobile) please let me know.

elzbth

agreed - nothing wrong with making sauce from scratch, and nothing wrong with buying it off the shelf (no reason to reinvent the wheel). I would be surprised if the average joe could make it from scratch (and like it) for pennies of the cost of a jar of BSS. That said, I'm bowing out of the thread. I'm a newbie, I like to egg, and I like this forum. It's clear to even this novice that this troll is full of himself.

I'm goin with ya....

of how the sauces taste would very be helpful

many of the popular sauces on the BGE forum are local or regional

descriptions of the tastes would be most helpful to those of us who may want to order some online

thanks
