My current favorite hot sauce.

I'm not a big "Trader Joe's" guy, but we go there occasionally, and while not everything is a good deal, their condiments are usually quite reasonably priced. So for $2.99 I said, what the hell?

Well sir, this South African concoction may just make me love hot sauce again!

It's explosively bright in both color and flavor, with the green fruit overtones of orange habaneros tickling the nose, while the heat (and it's quite hot, but not unbearable) goes to work on your tongue. Sugar and other additional ingredients help balance out the whole thing to a fully satisfying, fiery burn that goes with everything!

I LIKE IT AND IT CHEAP YAAAAAAAY

Make sure to keep it away from your darker sauces!

Perhaps I'll see what the folks over at Caltrops think about this hot sauce.

Is it considered appropriate to bring your own bottle of hot sauce to a restaurant?

Could you? My contract with Tdarcos ended. We need content.

Is it cool to leave the bottle of sauce on the table for the next patrons to enjoy? That could be a sneaky way to advertize one's own brand of hot sauce.

Maybe? I'm under the impression that the only way of obtaining sriracha hot sauce for a wide swathe of the United States, was to swipe it from ones local restaurant (ignoring the fact they sell the sauce in bulk via mail order).

I've been going through a collection of fruit based hot sauces (to keep with the original topic), with mango based concoctions finding their way onto my plate as of late. Besides this, I've given the heave ho to concentrate based sauces because I'm tired of tasting gravel... But that is just me.

I'd like to find a good tasting hot sauce that's not "too" hot, but that adds some heat and some flavor at the same time. Right now I am really just digging the bottles available on the table, which I realize is akin to "really getting into" the Walmart t-shirt section.
