Patchoulia Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) The rooster sauce is fantastic--I love it! But my favourite "all purpose" hot sauce is Cholula Cholula's unique flavor and aroma make it the perfect complement for everything from soup to salad and steak to seafood. Elegant wood top makes this a sauce you can put on any table at any meal. I also enjoy Melinda's. Check out this website--a myriad of hot sauce brands with a mini-review on each, including heat level, main pepper & miscellaneous info: http://www.firegirl.com/hot-sauce.html Some of the names of the hot sauces are hiiighlarious, including: My Dad's Hot Sauce is Hotter Than Your Dad's Hot Sauce Holy Shit! Habenero Hot Sauce Brain Damage Hot Sauce Spontaneous Combustion Hot Sauce Ass in Hell Hot Sauce Buttplug Relief Hot Sauce Edited December 1, 2005 by Guest Can't make picture go. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Agreed that this is threadworthy.I'm not a fan of cholula because I find it gummy. There's a woman in Gatineau who makes her own sauces, can't remember her name but they serve them at Stone Faced Dolly's. They're very good.For general breakfast saucing I'm a fan of the Chipotle tabasco. The manx makes a tomatillo salsa that I would buy by the gallon if I could find it. For straight heat I love the bajan-style hot sauces with mustard. So good in west indian curry and on roti. Lastly there's some homemade hot sauce on the door that had these ingredients:finger chillies, chipotles, habaneros, tomatillos, papaya, avocadao, cilantro, sour oranges, tomatoes, carrot, onion, garlic and white vinegar. It's really good and has a little fruity taste to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Actually, there's a restaurant in Toronto on College that makes its own that I love, too..Utopia...mmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Do any Ottawa folk shop at Chilly Chiles? I went there a couple of years ago (before it moved) to get those canned chipotle peppers (smoky and just hot enough...mmmm), but haven't been back since.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Unrelated to hot sauce, I think it's funny that "Stone Faced Dolly's" is mentioned in this thread.I just read an article about Jack Layton that said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Jack Layton is trying to dispel the Smilin' Jack image he was known for in the last election--he kicked off his campaign at the Ottawa eatery Stone Faced Dolly's"...

AdamH Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've been Brad. It's cheaper to get canned chipotles, interesting latino salsas and jarred things like molé, caribbean hot sauces and dried chile peppers from Grace Foods on Bank (See map below).

CyberHippie Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Rooster sauce and mr noodles, a winning combination!What I really love though is the Roster brand chillie paste, comes in a little jar! I use that shit in everything I cook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfmaster C Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 i'm a fan of the rasta fire hot sauce a little fruity, very flavourful and spicy enough! i was in cc's not too long ago and picked up a bag of some chips - don't remember the flavour, but they were deeee-lish! one of very few varieties of flavoured chips that are vegan, for those of you that might be that way... here's a hot sauce tip: buy a can of chipotles in adobo sauce dump it in your food processor blend til smooth-ish pour into jar yummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I really feel like I've missed the boat in terms of a palate that can appreciate, let alone tolerate hot spice. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE spices, I love savory flavours, but I just don't get the pleasure of a BURN that occludes all other flavours and tastes. At our housewarming, at about oh 2 am, I get the inspiration to make Jalapeno Corn Bread. So here;s a whole whack of whacked out skanks in the kitchen....Ms. Hux is on jalapeno chopping duty. Thinking to make a double batch of the stuff, I ask her to chop 6 peppers. She, as a HOT LOVER (all pun intended, of course...but this from rumour only, not first-hand experience) chops up 8 peppers instead. We actually end up only making a single pan of cornbread, now with 5 more chopped up jalapenos than required. This stuff is so friggin' spicy, it makes me choke and I think the whole thing is destined for the compost...but no, it's wolfed down to compliments! What the eff? Was I built witout the requisite number of spice-loving chromosomes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Oh yeah baby, that corn bread was the best I've ever had thanks for the jog in memory Deb.I have 4 hot sauces in my suitcase as we speak. I think Mike packed some as well. We're tackling the bland Cuba food crisis head on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 bland Cuba food crisis May you be pleasantly, and ideally, alarmingly surprised. Only time I ever ran out of a restaurant in grief was in Thailand after daring a waiter to give me what I couldn't deal with (actually saw stars from spice - yes, it is possible). Reminds me of an incident with absynthe in Portugal too, come to think of it. I guess I shouldn't get too cocky, even if it is a Thursday night in Osgoode....

SteveThe Owl Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thursday night in Osgoode...and the boys are gettin' stinko! (I think that's how the line goes.)This is a cool thread, but too much hot sauce irriates my tripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
