Yes, I actually like hot sauce. The Tabasco Chipotle is so good I could just drink it from the bottle. I also love the Cholula regular and chipotle flavors. For some really interesting flavors Slap You Silly User Friendly Habanero hot sauce is delicious. The thing that gets me confused about hot sauce is that there are so many people that seem to use hot sauce that is insanely hot. All about the heat not the flavor. I see that on Man v. Food all the time. He eats hot wings that are basically a test of your tolerance of pain. Not a goal of mine.
I took a business associate out for lunch once and he brought a bottle of hot sauce that was so hot it was completely inedible. I used a toothpick to get one drop and put it on a piece of meat. Ate it and had a burn so bad I couldn't even taste anything afterwards. Not what eating is all about. I think they make those hot by adding capsaicin extract which is the chemical that makes peppers hot. They produce it in a concentrate that is added to different hot sauces to make them hotter. Seems dumb to me.
Personally I use it to add complexities and additional deliciousness. . . I like the smoky flavor of the chipotle. Go to Buffalo Wild Wings and try the Honey BBQ wings and they are sweet and chipotle smoky. I also love the Louisiana brand hot sauce (LHS). It has a nice vinegar peppery flavor that is a nice complement to lots of things. It really makes anything tomato based exceptionally good. V8 juice, Clamato, tomato soup and plain tomatos. Slice them up and sprinkle on a liberal dose of LHS and bingo!!!! Yummy!!!
