Meryl’s Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce is a great take on a classic Caribbean-style sauce. It is thin and chunky, a little bit tangy, and a little bit sweet.
It is pretty mild considering it is made with Scotch Bonnet peppers but it is a tasty heat.
The only thing I did not like about this hot sauce was the amount of Apple Cider Vinegar. I find it a little too much. The ACV is the first and last thing you taste with Meryl’s.
A simple yet delicious Habanero hot sauce from Marie Sharp’s in Belize. This hot sauce is a great example of the type of hot sauce you should always keep in your fridge.
It is hot but not too hot so you don’t need to worry about stinging the tongues of your fellow diners.
In terms of flavour, this one is pretty neutral which makes it a good all-around hot sauce. You can taste the carrots which are used as a base but the flavour blends well with most meals.
The habaneros used for heat are fruity and flavourful as well as spicy.
If you can find this one at your local grocery store it is well worth a try!
Tangy is a Serrano and Ghost pepper sauce made by Tasty Heat in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This bottle was a gift from a good friend in Toronto. I was very excited becuase I had been meaning to try some hot sauce from Tasty Heat.
This hot sauce is a vinegar forward sauce that is definitely Tangy. It has a mild heat and is said to go great with seafood, but it also worked well with some of my other meals.
If you’re into tangy sauces with the sharp heat of fresh ghost peppers, then this is the sauce for you.
Well, we finally have it here in Canada, THC infused hot sauce. Since Canada legalized cannabis in 2018, we have seen a plethora of new cannabis products. I knew someone would infuse hot sauce, it was just a matter time.
Heartbeat Hot Sauce and Bogarts Kitchen have teamed up to create a legal THC hot sauce for Canada’s cannabis market. So far there are two flavours: Red Habanero and Pineapple Habanero. Both staples of the Heartbeat Hot Sauce collection.
Here is what they taste like!
A friend of mine sent me a care package of hot sauce from Tata Hot Sauce Emporium in Toronto. The first sauce I tried was the Smoke Papaya. It sounded like it would go great with the sandwich I was having for lunch.
This hot sauce is a great blend of scotch bonnet peppers and smoked papaya. It has the delightful texture of apple sauce but with a spicy kick. Great for meats and leaves.
Smoke Papaya by Tata is so good you can eat it right out of the bottle.
I was pretty stoked to find out Salem’s Lott Scary Hot Sauce was made by a pretty well-known Canadian musician. Jeff Salem is a professional musician drummer and a pretty damn good hot sauce maker. Hallucinate the Heat is a good example of this.
This was the first time I tried Salem’s Lott hot sauce so I went with something in the middle of their heat range. This is exactly where I would place Hallucinate The Heat. It reminds me of spicy ketchup crossed with a smoky barbeque sauce.
Smoky Mountain Punch by Villain Sauce Co. from Brantford, Ontario. Wow!
Back when I was working in Toronto, I used to listen to Kim Mitchell’s radio show on Q107. He had this segment called “Damn I wish I wrote that! Where he would play songs that he wish he wrote.
Well, this is my “Damn I wish I made that” segment because damn I wish I made this sauce!
Smoky, spicy, flavourful, the whole 9 yards. Smoky Mountain Punch by Villain Sauce Co. is a great-tasting hot sauce made with many different types of peppers. Also, this is the first hot sauce I’ve tried that includes smoke flavour as an ingredient.
Being a fan, I had to try Steve-O’s Hot Sauce For Your Butthole. I’ve seen Steve-O do some pretty wild stuff on TV so my guess was his hot sauce was going to be HOT! Hot Sauce For Your Butthole is the less intense brother of Steve-O’s Butthole Destroyer Hot Sauce. Even still, this hot …
They say everything in life is relative, which is perhaps why I originally thought No Joke from Pepper North was in fact a joke. I had just tasted tested several super hot sauces and then tested out this mild hot sauce.
Thankfully, I decided to wait a little bit and try it out again. Am I ever glad I did that!
I found out that No Joke adds a nice burst of heat and flavour to your meal.
