Guacamaya hot sauce, what's yer fav?
An extremely versatile sauce. I use it in few items on our menu. I looked for it in BCS but all I saw was Guacamaya Habenero sauce in the little
bottles..
It was avail in the USA up till 4-5 yrs ago. Since then I have been bringing back a few bottles at a time but alas, not this time. It is very
inexpensive also.
The cora peppers add great gusto to seafood, particularily cold dishes.
I noticed that many mercados do not carry it anymore but I found it pretty cheap here:Guacamaya
I love to shop for new or untried varieties. Many of which cannot be found outside Mex. My one son has a passion for hot sauces and has been seen many
times taking it like cough med. :lol:

Very popular in Mazatlan.....
....at most all the restaurants that I went to. I agree; its pretty darn good. I cant recall seeing it much at the restaurants in Baja, though.
Usually Huichol.
My favorite bottled picante from Mexico is Tamazula. It's one of the few that doesn't have the overwhelming taste of cheap vinegar along with the
peppers.
One other picante-style one that I really liked was one from Costa Rica. It was predominately habaneros and carrots and was bearably hot (unlike many
habanero salsas). I found it in the rack at a King's Fish House but have never been able to find it again. It had a yinyang symbol on the bottle. Cant
remember the name........
But my overall favorite bottled picante-style is Pico Pica. It's made in that culinary center of fine cuisine; Harbor City, CA., I believe. Comes in
mild, medium and hot and is available in three-packs at Smart n Final. One of the first quasi-chipotle picante sauces I ever had.
I eat alot of hot sauce......

Have tried them all....but....
This is STILL what I like and bring it to Baja by the case. It has good memories of many a great camping and fishing trip. I also pack survival
foods like Spam, Vienna sausages, and Beannie Weenies....but I ALWAYS crook my little finger.
This sauce can make the toughest possum taste great.

Marie Sharp's from Belize
Marie Sharp's hot sauce from Belize is a winner. While visiting Belize a few years ago we noticed many of the restaurants had it on their tables. We
tried it, we loved it. Brought several bottles home with and have now discovered a source in the US, www.drchilepepper.com
Marie makes some VERY HOT SAUCE, note the name of one is BEWARE.
Also, the Guacamaya we picked up at the dollar stores in Ensenada (Waldo's Dollar Mart, Solo Uno Precio) and also saw it at Smart and Final.
Friends don't let friends drink white zinfandel.

My favorite is a Jamaican style hot sauce made from a small shack with a small garden. In the garden, Scotch Bonnet and Habanero peppers are grown.
In the shack, Jack Sauce is made with them. In the mouths of those who eat it, a strange voodoo begins to take hold, comsuming the body, mind and
soul in a firey, hypnotic euphoria. In this bottle is that sauce. In this world, there is no sensation quite like it. It's called "Pain is good
Batch #114 Hot Sauce"

Marie Sharps
has come the closest to the "yinyang" brand that I discovered (and lost) long ago. A carrot puree goes surprisingly well in bottled salsas, as it adds
a sweetness without too much corn syrup or sugar.
When it comes to canned/jarred salsa casera style, I still like Herdez the best.

Aye Matey! I usew the casera as well. Makes a good "topper" spot.
Bob.... whrer did you find that?
I must admit tho for everyday zing I add a few drops of Tapatio to certain dishes. Vinegary but universal.

Tapatio on the table and Herdez Ranchero sauce in the can for dipping. The latter has a nice hot smokiness to it.

You can buy Jamacian Hot Sauce Batch #114 online when they get it back in stock. Here's the link
http://www.originaljuan.com/product.asp?prodID=195
Also, most hot sauce specialty stores here in San Diego stock this item. It has the best flavor of any hot sauce I've ever tried. I use it for
anything from making guacamole, spicing up sauces to putting some in bloody mary's, etc.

I keep lots of different hot sauces at the deli. But the one almost exclusively requested ( by Mexicans) is McIlhenny's TABASCO. I find that both
strange, and amusing.

Why? Tabasco has the unique trait of making one's mouth water simply by smelling it....all cafes Up North put one about every 2 feet. Gives people
an appetite...and the cafe sells more food (some might say it masks the flavor of the blue plate special!)
We buy it at Sam's in the BIG LOT aisle.
