Hot sauce is an interesting product market. The brands are highly differentiated and I've never heard of a "generic" store-brand hot sauce. I mostly use Frank's Red Hot or Cholula, depending on the food. Frank's is better on grease & fried food, and Cholula is better on carbs & protein. I went through a Sriracha phase in college, but I rarely use it anymore except to salvage stale pizza. My dad always had Tobasco growing up. I never buy Tobasco, but when I use it at a restaurant, say on some greasy eggs at a diner, it tastes like a fancy delicacy. And that's not even getting into all of the Mexican hot sauces..

Marie Sharp's Original Hot Pepper Sauce is a truly excellent option you can find at some grocers in the US. I'm having trouble finding it locally, but I was gifted a bottle of Nando's Peri-Peri sauce, which is exquisite. · 3 months ago
Normal Tabasco no longer does it for me, I like their habanero variant :) · 3 months ago
cholula really is good! frank’s i haven’t tried yet. people keep claiming it is good. most hot sauces are too vinegary imho. but sriracha often is full of sugar which i don’t like. made sriracha myself once. that was fun!
name the person who isn’t guilty of reviving stale pizza. haha :) · 3 months ago
