I’ve tried many of these and we keep frank’s red buffalo sauce on hand. But I also make it homemade. One of my favorite hot sauces on the market are these little packets called salsa Del Sol. It comes in picante and hot. You find them around here at gas station – markets, we’re Mexican food is mostly sold. But you can order a box of them on Amazon.
I make a lot of my own sauces and my favorite is East Indian mint cilantro hot chutney, made with mint, cilantro, hot jalapeños, garlic, ginger and cumin. Oh YUM! 😋
I went through a hot sauce fascination in the 1990’s. Love the stuff! My body was not pleased with Habanero varieties even though my taste bud enjoyed Dave’s Insanity Sauce. Burned on the way in and out. 🥵
Very informative. I don't use a lot of heat in my cooking, but it definitely has its place. I once ate an Indian dish that was purely delicious! However, after I finished eating it, I had to eat a pint of ice cream before my mouth stopped burning. Thanks for the good info.

I will have to check out Salsa Del Sol, and that chutney sounds amazing!

"but I’ve only tried the Verde and the roja."
I like most of the El Yucateco varieties, but the Caribbean one is my favorite.
Tabasco, Frank’s, and Cholula are always on-hand in my house.
Bertie’s (from Trinidad itself; I’m not sure how the import version compares) is pretty good mix of flavor and heat.
I have never heard of Bertie's but I will have to give it a shot. I'm always interested in trying a new sauce.
I love hot sauces, and this was very fun!
Frankly, I can put Frank's on just about anything.
I don't know how I missed this one, "Anal Apocalypse". Sounds horrible! https://www.culturehustleusa.com/products/anal-apocalypse-the-world-s-hottest-hot-sauce-for-arseholes?variant=43740064219313

I love Indian, it can be quite hot, but so tasty!
