being somewhat of a sissy, or my irish heritage just doesn't lend itself to hot sauces, texas pete for fried chicken, eggs, etc..franks redhot for wings. i also like the cholula for a change once in a while. the dollar store close by had nice sized bottles of the tapatio recently. weird, i don't like red peppers, or green ones for that matter, but i love hot sauce...or medium sauce if ya will......
Favorite hot sauce???

if im eating fried chicken i have to have texas pete's its great!!!
has anybody tried a mexican sauce called valentina? its really good in chicken soup and on top of regular potato chips,its not as hot as others but is has a really good flavor
Yeah! I put Valentina on tortilla chips (along with a squeeze of lime) for a snack sometimes if I don't have time/ingredients to make salsa. I can get it for literally like $1 a bottle! Chicken soup though?
I absolutely LOVE hot, spicy foods but my heart can't handle 'em no more. Still have a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce in my fridge though- once every fifth blue moon I'll throw just a tad in some Nalley's Chili. My heart still reminds me, unfortunately...
Finally a topic I can jump into, I love hot sauces, but really don't enjoy the next day.
For the low down on the hottest of the hot check here: http://www.chez-williams.com/Hot Sauce/hothome.htm
Some of these sauces are pure Capsaicin Crystals, they are more of a novelty than a true seasoning.

omg i still smell the pico pica in my brain from my childhood. My dad was a general contractor remodeling the pico pica plant in LA. You seriously could not breath in that building the air was so thick w/ hot sauce. HUGE vats of pico pica. of course i was 4' tall so...
That's my favorite on tacos, burritos, etc.
Tapatio comes in second, and El Yucateca is very good too. I like the more natural looking brownish version compared to the goofy nitro-green version that seems to be more popular. Something about that color just bothers me.

A. Nibbs, Sons & Daughters' hot sauce from Tortola, BVI.
It comes in recycled glass bottles, real homemade red hot sauce with thyme and oils mixed. I really enjoy it.
I also like hot peper vinegar for addition to some stuff. We just get it from the locals in the USVI.
Ive stopped buying store bought hot sauces since finding these items.

We just got back from a local market and we had Salvadoran Pupusas (cheese and bean) for lunch topped with some mild chili mix out of a big pot. I saw a guy grab a bottle of sauce and added that as well. It turned out to Tapatio and he just happens to sell it so I bought a bottle. Not that hot but tasty. Good stuff.
New find Nazirs Fiery Hot Chilli Sauce from India. Got a bit of bite this one. Check it out.
Indian friend put me on Sri Lankan MD Green Chilli sauce. Try this one it's very different
I'll need to explore the Indian/Pakistani/Sri Lankan markets for those. Other than Sambal Olek I haven't tried too many of their jarred varieties.
I honestly get stuck trying to make a decision with the local fire sauces and Mexican/So.-central American varieties. I must only buy 3 or 4 bottles at a time....on second thought this logic may be flawed

Just collect them like I do. Thy don't go off and variety is 'the spice of life'
Chalula without question. Put that on some home made spanish rice............arghhuuuuuuummmm (Homer Simpson gorging sound
)
Frank's "Red Hot" Cayenne Pepper hot sauce is mighty good as well.
