What's everyone's favorite hot sauce?

I can see that folks have sophisticated hot sauce tastes... No one mentioned Louisiana Hot Sauce... It's not 'real special, to my way of thinking. I've had Cholula regular. Nice... Quite a bit more expensive than the Louisiana...
I like Trappy's Red devil hot sauce. It's pretty close to Louisiana hot sauce, made by the same company.
 
El Yucateco picante (green), from Merida.

Tabasco and Cookies hot sauce usually in our house. I like to mix Cookies in with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce to make a sweet and spicy sauce.

just my $0.02
 
I prefer a cayenne based sauce. Nothing fancy, Texas Pete, Crystal, etc will do. Not really a fan of Tabasco unless that's all there is. Not at all interested in the "lava in a bottle" types of sauce. You might as well be eating your napkin.
 
The green one? Both the red and green are kind of thin and have artificial food coloring. What do you use them on? They have a version that doesn't have food coloring and kind of turns into a natural grayish color.
Compared to Tabasco or Louisiana Hot Sauce it's not thin at all. I like the green version best -- Yucateco says it's made with green habaneros. The red has some tomato and seems a little sweeter. The version without color is extra hot; Yucateco claims over 10,000 scoville units.

I've tried those three. The "Kutbil-ik" version isn't pureed like the red or green ones. It's more pulpy. And it's actually made with green and yellow habaneros. Green habanero should have a color similar to cucumber relish.

Now this seems kind of scary.

Not a fan of Huoy Fong Sriracha - sodium bisulfite. I can smell it, worse I can have an anaphylactic allergic reaction to sulfites in foods - although I cheat it with red wine from time to time (white wine, no way)

Better: Try Trader Joe's Sriracha. Not only does taste WAY better, no sulfites!

Again I love some heat, the older I get the less my **** is along for the ride. Sucks.

"Mash." :O
Years ago I got a taste for Mrs. Renfro's "hot" green salsa. As Dave Edmunds once put it, "subtle as a flying mallet." I left a spoon in it one afternoon and found it covered with crusty blue effluence from the copper in the cheap flatware.

Haven't really tried anything from them in a while. I do remember when my local supermarket had some specials for them. Something like $2 a jar. I liked mango/habanero, but their roasted pepper salsa was my fav.

The Trader Joe's is ok...kind of a wired taste. Aldi had their own for awhile but discontinued it 1-2 years ago. It was excellent.
