I need to find something other than Tobasco and Franks. Anyone know where there is a decent selection of hot sauces in the surrounding areas of Miss/Oakville/Burl?
Try and find an international food store. Even here in little Kincardine we (at one point) had one. They had all sorts of cool hot sauces from Asia, Mexico and various African countries. Once you try some of the really interesting ones, you'll never go back to Franks and Tabasco.
Even Sobeys has some slightly interesting ones other than the two mentioned above.
Of course this town is so freaking closed minded and the place closed down because nobody here is willing to try anything that's not meat and potatoes or haggis! That brought tears to my eyes.
I have a friend who frequently traveled south and turned me on to Uncle Brutha's Sauces. Awesome. I think they're based in the Washington DC area.
I have no idea if you can find them around here as I always had him fill my order for me (unfortunately he's switched jobs and my supply has ended). I have pondered placing an order online but shipping charges are $25.
Dude. Chinese hot sauce (the one with the rooster on it), is the absolute nuts.
Yes, 100%. When I drive somewhere I can get it....I buy a few of the biggest bottles I can get. Watching the GF put it on whatever we were having like ketchup one day (first time she tried it) was priceless. I warned her, but she said she'd be ok...... Didn't turn out well. More food ended up having to be made.
For identification purposes, Rooster on it with green lid. Don't fool around with it. It's serious stuff.
There are stores on the water front that have sections allocated exclusively for their sauces. We can share the driving, down there in no time.
There is a little bar that schucks their own oysters in the window, the beer is always cold....
I think if you look, there may even be golf near by....

Don't they sell that hot sauce in all major supermarkets now? Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro, etc?
idk man. I havent been in any of these places since I met my wife. The chinese stores (Oceans, TNT, etc.) are just so far superior in almost every capacity.
We have found our new favourite condiment. While still a Sriracha chili sauce (same family as the one Wetts mentioned with the rooster on it made by Huy Fong), this distant cousin is not quite as crazy hot and has a slight hint of sweetness to it. I could put this stuff on just about anything. Found it at Sobey's, made by Lee Kum Kee.
Try this one, not that hot but keeps the "chili" flavour
Oh, that is stuff I know well. I could go through a jar of that stuff in NO time if wifey didn't protest. You can get it with or without garlic. My personal fave is with the garlic as pictured. Curries wouldn't be the same without it, on fried eggs with toast... Dreamy.
If you want a great hot sauce try eadrey's hot sauce from eadreyfoods.ca. 8/10 flavor, 8/10 spice!!! And makes you a little light headed after a meal!! Lol.... And if your really feeling crazy, try the ghost pepper sauce. This sauce registers 800,000-1,000,000 on the SHU scale. A typical habenero pepper registers 150,000-300,000 SHU. So be very open minded when trying it!
Nope, ghost peppers are outside of my realm of enjoyment. I like my hot sauces hot, but enjoyable and tasty. That level of heat is in my opinion, no longer enjoyable.
Ghost peppers are the hottest on Earth are they not?
Yup, your right the ghost pepper is the spiciest pepper. At least that's what I have read. I got it for Christmas and have only ate it on one piece of turkey!! It's been the box ever since!! But that other stuff is the best hot sauce ever!

You can buy at any Chinese grocery store in the GTA. I shop there all the time so if you want I can pickup.
+1. Great alternative to Franks.
fyp
Try any East Indian store. They have stuff that will also rip the taste buds off the old licker.
racism ban.
I'm a hot sauce collector and other than my regular asian ones I also love the caribbean/mexican stuff made with real peppers.
I like tobasco on some stuff but Franks is weak sauce.

But thats another thread I guess......
Edit: also, it's Thai, not Viet, but that's just splitting hairs.
tastes better from Wetts

I just wish it came it peanut butter sized jars.
