I'd forgotten about Linghams, adding that to the shopping list. Got hooked on it after a couple of work trips to Malaysia where it's used with abandon. Only downside is it's basically sugar, and extremely moreish.
Might be a good gateway sauce for the kids. The 2 year old still hasn't got over his tabasco episode.
Tabasco. There I said it.
Adequately hot, not overly vinegary. Keep coming back to it after flirtations with hotter, fancier sauces.
This is why we humans are weird! Tastebud discrepancies. The main reason I stopped buying Tabasco was because the more other sauces I tried, the more I realised that Tabasco is basically vinegar and water with a bit of heat. Perplexingly expensive to boot.
As like with other Louisiana hot sauces, Tabasco leans heavily on vinegar. It's the predominant ingredient
Still like it on chips (expensive vinegar!) or mashed into tuna, but much prefer the Morrison’s Habanero. Even Frank’s tastes less vinegary to me than Tabasco, and that’s saying something!
I always love a spot of chilli sauce on my eggs, but Tabasco (and Encona and stuff like that) is like simply squirting hot vinegar on your eggs and toast 😝
ymmv, but if you’re after a bit of heat and less vinegar then I do recommend the Mozzer’s Habanero in place of Tabasco. Smoother, more plentiful, still in a glass bottle yet a much bigger bang for your buck. (£1 per 165ml vs £2 for 57ml)
Mozzer’s
what is mozzers - cant find any refference to a mozzers hotsauce on google . ......
not a fan of tabasco either too vinegary but its a gateway drug 😀
Morrisons, linked earlier in the thread
the bullseye carolina reaper with black garlic is nice and flavour some
This.
the chipotle version has all but replaced ketchup in our house.
And this.

well thatll be why i cant find it .
wont be having any of that then because those shops locally are in stupid places.
The encona reaper sauce has really nice flavour too – unlike ther west indian hot sauce which is just shear masochism – theres no flavor to it just numbing .
I really like the Encona West Indian sauce - nice and fruity, with just the right amount of kick. I'll keep an eye out for the reaper stuff.
Current bottle is some Mexican "Yucatec" sauce, also pretty nice. But clearly need to up my sauce game and get a few more varieties in.
Linghams is by far the best sweet chili sauce you can buy and my favorite with certain dishes.

It's about the same hotness wise.. Maybe a teeny bit milder than the standard one.
I prefer the flavour though, more of a darker smokey flavour.
I'd highly recommend east coast chilli Co. Though. Really well thought out flavours and good quality ingredients... Mail order direct from them is fast... I'd recommend the 5 bottle taster set.
Wiltshire Chilli farm stuff is good thier 'fireside' Chutney basically a big red 'make everything taste nice' button should that evening's dinner be a tad bland for some reason.
Dont be put off by the heat rating on thier site, it's really not that bad.
Used up the last of My Marie Sharp's Mango stuff on last night's Fajitas, I'm bereft, looks like a re-up is due.
Witshire chilli farm stuff is good
This - although I do quite like the Trinidad Scorpion one, over the Mango etc
Couple of drops makes all the difference, but it's not just chili - you can taste the flavours as well

This.
Butt Puckering Hot Sauce
Personally, I always put it in my mouth, with food...

Oh hell yes! I was introduced to that by my then girlfriend, back around 1978. She’s half-Chinese, and we used to have these huge family feasts that went on for hours, and Linghams was always on the table.
Trouble was, to get it I had to go to specialist Chinese/Asian supermarkets, so if I went up to London for a gig or something, I’d go to Soho to grab a few bottles.
Now I can find it in the local Morrisons; although it seemed to have disappeared for some time, it was back on the shelves last time I was there.
