Sauces on eggs, tacos, spaghetti
Dry pepper powder in the hot soup in a thermos for a jobsite lunch*
Spicy ketchup on fries and chicken strips
*when i am going out to work in the winter, my Love heats up a tin of soup for me and puts it into a thermos. He adds a sprinkle (or 2) of dry pepper powder to the soup. Sometimes it can be a pretty generous sprinkle...
Progresso now has 4 flavors that are spicy. Pretty good, if you can handle the sodium...
I got about 5 open bottles in de fridge. When i empty one, i get to open a new one.
At times i find it hard though to pair a sauce to a meal. I try to make both the sauce and the meal taste better. it too easy just to make things bloody hot.
I virtually spice every meal with powders and peppers
I think that in Italy hot sauces are not frequently used. I defrost mines when I invite friends for "ethnic food" lol (chili, fried chicken, ribs, asian food...). Other than that, and apart from 'nduja that is a multipurpose calabrian hot sauce made with pork fat and C. annuum (good on pasta and bruschetta), we have a looot of sauces mainly used for pasta, but just a few are hot.
In the future I would like to try some sauces of some THP members, e.g. @HellfireFarm and @salsalady ... and maybe some classic ones like crystal and franks. I just don't know if shipments are possible in EU
Almost Never.
I will explain.
I used to open a bottle then never finish it.Threw them away.Then I wouldn't open a new one so I threw it away .
I guess I gave up.
But... I can't say never, because I still like the occasional sauce packs from Taco Bell.
So...
Not as much as I used to which seems to be occasionally
Well, I also prefer other ways to add peppers to dishes.
Another way I do like to use hot sauce is in rice & beans or soups.
I may get into making more dishes that I like with hot sauce.
Depends on the time of year for me and how lazy I'm feeling. I'll always prefer fresh chilis and use them when ever I have them, but if I don't, sauces and dried powders are getting used every day. I probably go through one bottle of El Yucateco XXX hot once a week.
