slo’s THURSDAY 8/17 poll - Hot Sauce 🌶️

[slo]

Hot Sauce…..There’s so many of them with all degrees of hotness

What is your opinion of hot sauce?



For Me……I’m not a fan and I never use it for myself - I don’t like anything burning the inside of my mouth
I do use it in one recipe and that’s it, and when I eat that my nose runs and my eyes water - LOL!

Don't like it. Don't use it. (Anything habenero definitely does not like me, either!) My kids like it though, so we have several kinds in the pantry.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I like it but I just use one kind it’s not extremely hot it’s your average every day hot sauce I like it with my fried chicken I use it and a few other recipes I’m a lightweight but I do like it I like just a hint of it again nothing extreme

NO THANK YOU!

However, I enjoyed the visit to Avery Island, LA where Tobacco is made. It’s an interesting process that produces it, and Avery Island is lovely!

I used to not like it at all but I've been using it a lot more lately. I mainly use Cholula and sriracha sauce. I find a lot of hot sauce is just "hot" without any flavor so I've been trying to find good ones.

I like hot sauce, but it depends on how hot and also how much is used. I used to be just fine with the hottest of the hot, but then I got pregnant (30+ years ago) and haven't been able to tolerate much heat since then. Lately I've been enjoying "hotter" sauces, but I still stick to mild. If sauces are medium, I ask for it on the side, and I NEVER do a true hot sauce anymore. I will use something like Crystal, Frank's, or Tobasco in a recipe, but I'm careful how much I use. Don't want dinner to be inedible- at least for me!

DS loves it, so there's multiple kinds of hot sauce on the table, in the fridge, and in the pantry. DH likes it, but just occasionally. I keep a jar of Frank's hot sauce in the fridge for when I make Buffalo Chicken Wraps. That's the only time I eat it.

I like medium hot sauce.

 

[Meriweather]

I like it.....some heat, not too hot and definitely can taste it and not just burn.
I use it often in cooking and us medium salsa for chips.
DH puts in on a lot things.

 

[Disneylover99]

I like it and we have a variety of hot sauces, but I always forget to use them.
When I finish eating, I often think, that was pretty good, but it would have been even better with a dab of hot sauce. Lol.

 

[Moliphino]

I like some, but not the ones that are super hot just for the sake of being hot. I mostly buy the Cholula chipotle hot sauce and we have some Frank's around for Buffalo chicken related things.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Not a fan of spicy food. Don’t think I have ever used hot sauce.

Love hot sauce!

I like a really nice kick with a little tingle. I do not like the ones that are so hot you cannot taste anything and your mouth is numb.

I'm on a snack kick right now, popcorn with hot sauce sprinkled on. You have to have the bottle nearby and can only add a few dashes at a time or it gets too soggy. But I love that when I am watching TV in the evening.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I sorta like hot sauce. I only use it in my scrambled eggs or in ramen/pho. And I tend to stick to popular brands like Tabasco, Tapatio, Cholula or Sriracha.

[Praying Colonel]

Love it, and I like it hotter as I get older. Maybe too much hot sauce over the years has scarred my taste buds?

 

[scbruno]

I will eat it on some food items but not too hot. I don't like when my mouth and lips burn because of the sauce.

 

[Dena489]

I used to use it often when I was younger, but I have IBS now so it's usually a no go. If it's in front of me I'll probably try a drop or two just to taste it, but no more than that.

 

[Sacahara]

Weirdly enough, I love spicy things but can't stand hot sauces. I just don't like the added unnecessary liquid.

Actual hot sauce, like a sprinkle from a bottle, I really never use, I will add a salsa/hot (mild) sauce on tacos, or a salsa dip for chips. My son, Vince, on the other hand, and 2 of his 3 kids, really like the stuff. For Vince, nothing is too hot for him. Ha, maybe that's why he is a firefighter.
