Wacka Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Got really overpriced a few years ago. Good stuff, but didn't warrant the price jack. Crystal is a good substitute at about 1/2 the price. If the Target near you has food, it is about $1.90 a bottle vs ~$3.50 at Safeway.
coloradobillsfan Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 worth checking out is Melinda's Habanero Sauce... it's well marketed in a lot of supermarkets altho it is made in Costa Rica. the quadruple XXXX Extra Reserve has a nice long sustained burn

Pete Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 great stuff but Sriracha>Frank's. Hell Sriracha>Tobasco
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 great stuff but Sriracha>Frank's. Hell Sriracha>Tobasco Like comparing different apples. All varities of chili peppers... Frank's Red Hot is cayenne... And Tobasco is made from tobasco peppers. IMO, you really can't compare because each brings a different flavor to the table. It really is in the taste buds of the person.
Kiwi Bills fan Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 What a coincidence that I just read this thread. My wife and I JUST made batch of wings and a kick a$$ garbage plate with my own Nicks hot sauce. (Homemade mac salad, fried potatoes and cheeseburgers.) About twice a year, she and I have to have a good ol Rochester pig out. We've looked high and low for a hot sauce similar to Franks down here in New Zealand for our wings and finally found one that comes close. "Lea and Perrins Hot Pepper Sauce" My gut is going to hate me in the morning. (So are the boys down at the sewage treatment plant.)

"Lea and Perrins Hot Pepper Sauce" What a coincidence! I had to use that to show my family how to make wings during my last trip to Oz. It was pretty good. They all thought it was so funny that people actually eat part of the chicken that they would throw away.

I never cared for the sauce but I get the whole pepper pickled in jars[Trappey's- can be hard to find] They are cute little guys, no longer then your fingernail, but are absolute killer in a bowel of Chili.

If Tabasco sauce was the same price as FRH I'd buy Tabasco instead.

I used teh same spelling as Pete.
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If Tabasco sauce was the same price as FRH I'd buy Tabasco instead. Really? Price is a deciding factor on hot sauce? How much do you freaking use?
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 They all thought it was so funny that people actually eat part of the chicken that they would throw away. They thought the same way in BFLO and all other places till the Anchor Bar came along with the idea...
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If Tabasco sauce was the same price as FRH I'd buy Tabasco instead. You ought to see the price on a jar of whole peppers. If I could pick a peck of pickled peppers I would be a wealthy man. But I find chili completely unsatisfactory without them.
