Recommendations?
Dear hotsauce friends,
Last couple of years I have dived into the wondrous world of hotsauce sensations.
The interest in hotsauce surely got boosted by having a Mexican wife for obvious reasons. As a Dutchy living in the Netherlands, the sad truth is that many Dutchies have almost zero tolerance to spicy food which explains the bland traditional food we often have. Nevertheless, I am curious what are some of your favorite hotsauces and are recommended? (preferably ones that are accessible from the NL)
To show a bit which directions my taste buds go, I will tell which hotsauces I would recommend to others.
-La Anita Kut-Ik salsa con chile habanero tatemado
This is probably one of my favorites for adding to tacos. If you happen to like Mexican food then I would definitely recommend this one as long as you are able to withstand quite spicy hotsauces.
-Clemente Jacques salsa de guacamole con chile habanero
This is an amazing hotsauce which I love to add to Dutch toasties and Pollo rollo, but probably is great on many other things. Since so many hotsauces are based on the taste of chili peppers, I think it is definitely worth a try.
-La anita salsa picante de chile habanero tamarinde
I use this one exclusively on Dutch toasties as a substitute for ketchup. It is a sweet spicy hotsauce, but very different from your usual sweet spicy hotsauces. Definitely worth a try.
-Secret aardvark habanero hotsauce
Apparently opinions are quite polarised on this one, but I think this sauce hits perfectly on top of a pizza.
-La Meridana mango habanero
This is my favorite mango hotsauce for chicken wings, it has a bit the structure of Dutch applesauce, but a very delicious mango habanero taste unlike the chemical taste of the La Anita habanero mango.
I am very curious what are some of your favorite hotsauces and for which food do you like to use them?
