Cholula vs Valentina aka the hot sauce thread

[KarlVP]

My wife went shopping today. I asked for Valentina hot sauce. She came home with the biggest bottle of Cholula they make. I think Cholula tastes like fish.

Discuss.

depends what its going on, i use cholula more than anything else for things like pizza and fajitas, occasionally crystal for burritos, oh and tapatio is good on breakfast stuff

El yucateco, preferably the green habanero

[Aisin]

I use 3 different varieties of El Yucateco and also Tabasco chipotle. The Tabasco chipotle I put on damn near everything. I use about a bottle a week. The black Yucateco is my favorite. The habaneros are roasted and smoked.

Marie Sharp's...easy win.

Cholula makes the tastiest green hot sauce, hands-down, and it has respectable heat.

Cholula's red sauce taste is 2 notches below "meh" - give it away. Tapatio red is 30x better.

The problem with those is they are vinegar based and don’t do shit for me.

The green goes really well mixing into salsa to bring some heat. I've since found good hot salsa for chips, but used to keep some around just for that.

The vinegar ruins it for me, too - same reason I think original Tabasco blows goats.
There's plenty we put vinegar on/in, but hot sauce ain't one of 'em.
I'm not trying to spice up fish 'n' chips, fer kryssakes


Sideboard of our dining table has a bottle each of Cholula green, Tapatio red, and Sriracha.
We have other sauces in the kitchen, but those 3 handle 90% of our hot sauce needs.

I do not like the green. The xxxhot El Yucateco has a very earthy taste to it.

[Pt_Ranger_v8]

So, anything vinegar based goes in the garbage, where it belongs.


Cholula is flavor sauce, not hot sauce... Except for the new sweet habanero sauce - that's respectably warm.

Never had valentina.

Cholulu isn’t hot at all, it’s weaker than Texas Pete. I’d like to find a nice medium between Dave’s insanity and cholulu. I go through a bottle a month easily

El Yucateco is for you.
