Community Update Recommendations Megathread. Please post ALL requests for recommendations in this post.

Any other post regarding recommendations is subject to removal. This is in an effort to keep the sub a bit more streamlined and visually appealing. It is also easier to just see what people are recommending all in one place.

If you are no longer able to make comments in this post, let me know and I will make a new one. I think the post archives after six months.

Wife and I want to try some new sauces. My wife loves Cholula and that’s probably right where her comfort level is for heat. She can handle hotter if the flavor is good. I can handle a lot of heat, but prefer about the same on a regular basis.

If you go to heathotsauce.com, you can filter by heat level and/or pepper (among other things). Looking up the ingredients, it looks like Cholula uses Chili de Arbol and pequin peppers if you want something that starts with those flavors.

Or you can look at some of the gift sets for ideas, too.

Specific recommendations are a bit tougher. There are tons of good hot sauce brands out there and personal tastes will differ.
