Thought I'd share some of my favorite hot sauces, in no particular order.

Well, actually this is my top favorite, produced here in the U.S: Huy Fong's Sriracha (a/k/a Rooster Sauce or Cock sauce). Great with everything from rice to meats to chocolate. And I'm not kidding.


Not so much heat, but lots of flavor - I like it best on fried green tomatoes.

I was introduced to this at Firehouse, which is a chain of sub shops that stock about 50 different kinds of hot sauce. It's not really that spicy but it has a ton of flavor. A good intro for folks who don't have the intestinal fortitude for some of the other choices.

From Trinidad, where I've had the hottest food ever.
