    I’m with you I regularly eat spicy food, and also grow my own scorpion and ghost peppers and add them into my cooking. I hate most hot sauces in general, as they’re all burn and no flavour. I have however found some that do buck the trend, but in general I don’t go for hot sauces too often

      If you could recommend a few, I’d be eager to try em. I mostly make my own sauces these days, vinegar or mustard based ones usually with the ghost peppers, and pickled Thai birds eye chilis with garlic, ginger and lemongrass, like a sambal oelek with a decent kick.

      There’s a few yuzu based hot sauces out there that aren’t terribly spicy, but have a wonderful fruit flavor, so I’m thinking of trying to make a peach or mango Naga salsa/sauce next, but I gotta wait for good peaches or mangoes at the store.

        I’ve had a couple spicy shark ones that have flavour. They also have the pure extract ones but I usually stay away from those

        There’s a Korean BBQ hot sauce that I think is really good

        There’s a matouks west Indian hot sauce I’ve enjoyed

        I’ve found that hot sauces that are a bit chunkier and have actual ingredients like small chunks of chilli or pineapple tend to have a more balanced flavor and heat profile though

      Drop some knowledge, bruh. I can’t find a decent hot sauce that’s both hot and tasty, that’s not overpowered by bullshit like garlic powder.
