Show us your hot sauce
Discussion
I'm a big fan of spicy food, but SWMBO hates it. The answer? Encona West Indian hot pepper sauce It has a nice balance of flavour and kick, but I find myself wanted a bit more heat..... so, I tried a few more:
Bit dissapointed - some nice flavours in there (especially the peri peri) but not as spicy as I would have liked.
So.... what hot pepper sauces do you use / recommend? A balance of flavour and outright heat would be nice

That's just ghey.
I use Franks Hot Sauce for Pizza's Thats 4-5000 scovilles in heat.
And these two for curries and chillies. Just one drop though.
Mad Dog 357 - 357,000 scovilles
Blairs 3AM 1.5 - 2 million scovilles
They are great fun at BBQ's etc.
Doesn't matter how much you warn someone, blokes just have to try a drop. With funny results. It's good stuff though and since using them my tolerence to hot food has gone up.
For a delicious taste I do recommend Mrs Balls Chilli Chutney. It is absolutley beautifull.
South African shops sell it.

Try Mr Naga Hot Pepper Pickle (ok not sauce technically but you use it the same)
Awesome stuff, but VERY hot.

but they are nowhere near as hot as the Blairs special sauces.
So have two - who cares about the pissing up the wall scoville units? I can easily add so many fresh chillis to anything that it becomes inedible - for what purpose?The great majority of chiilli sauces taste the same (a bit like a HP brown sauce base) with diffreent degrees of hot and different labels - there is little other difference.
Ah misread your post there, you said 'nothing touches fresh chillies' you mean the experience not the heat.
Understood and agree, I do prefer fresh chillies when cooking, can never get the amount quite right though always too hot or hardly notice them.
And I always manage to blind myself later by rubbing my eyes, doesn't matter how much you wash your hands.

Got:
Encona Hot Pepper sauce
Nando's Extra Hot Peri Peri
Cholula Hot Pepper Sauce
Frank's Hot Sauce
Dave's Gourmet Ghost Pepper sauce
In the cupboard at the moment. I'm particularly liking the ghost pepper one. It's too hot on its own but works great for making food spicy quickly and easily.
