In another life, an ex's father used to collect hot sauces. Hundreds, he had. He owned a deli and every wall was lined in shelves and hot sauces. I tried many of them, and my favorite is Vicious Viper. It has an awesome flavor and just the right amount of heat to be able to use all the time. I'm not sure if its an extract sauce, but it sure doesn't taste like it. It's been almost 10 years and I still constantly have a bottle in my refrigerator, although now I've discovered the joys of Red Savinas... Slice one of those up and put it on your food, no need for the sauces...
