i ask you, neogaf. I have recently faced a crisis of conscience in my hot sauce game. This inner conflict is now spilling into every aspect of my daily life, and a choice must be made, a line drawn.

For all my life i have ridden hard for cholula. I love its garlicky taste. I once thought that it had no rival outside of homemade stuff. Then something happened. No cholula at the store. In a flash of weakness, I purchased:

Wow. Tanginess. tartness. a vinegary taste, but one i keep pouring on for some reason. Its great!

And the other day I had some of this with taco bell:

also surprisingly good.

What say you gaf? Valentina, Cholula, or Tapatio?

Tapatio.

DUFFMCWALIN · Jun 25, 2012

None of the above. The best salsa is the shit you buy from a guy along side the road who doesn't speak English and you don't know how he got there but my god his salsa is amazing so he must be an angel.

edit: To answer the question and not be a dick I would have to say Valentina.

Himynameischris · Jun 25, 2012

In my household Tapatio is as important as Milk.

Parallax · Jun 25, 2012

tapatio easily

Flo_Evans · Jun 25, 2012

Valentina on burritos
Choula on pizza
Tapatio on eggs

PantherLotus · Jun 25, 2012

i already agreed that homemade stuff is the best.

I also enjoy this:

however, my asshole being functional is more important than a tasty hot sauce, so i dont eat it often.

FyreWulff · Jun 25, 2012

I have both Valentina and Tapatio in this house. Along with Sriracha and Frank's. Everyone is covered.

there's an elitist element to it, but it really is true. with the local hot sauces though the big difference is the freshness factor.

the only hot sauce that goes on pizza is sriracha. or red pepper flakes.

Kitsunebaby · Jun 25, 2012

Cholula is definitely my favorite. That and sriracha are the only hot sauces I keep in my cabinet.

Valentina is good too, but Tapatio is king.

I have all three but I must vote for Cholula.

Tapatio because it's the cheapest.

Cholula, then tapatio. Never had Valentina.

Cholula if you want more flavor, Tapatio if you want more kick

Chili garlic sounds amazing. Only ever seen the original flavor but maybe I haven't been looking hard enough.

Darryl · Jun 25, 2012

Cholulu is delicious, but it's so expensive around here (like $3-4 a bottle). Tapatio is just as good and like a buck fifty. I use the stuff so much that the price difference matters.

wenis · Jun 25, 2012

Tapatio, everything else is just red water in a glass bottle.

something to consider i reckon

PantherLotus · Jun 25, 2012

whoa whoa whoa let's not talk shit on Tabasco. If you really love hot sauce there's a little place in your heartburn for everyone, including little Timmy Tabasco. I love the green one mixed with the original on some Chipotle. So good.

Of course. I was simply commenting on GAF's annoying tendency to say "Local stuff is better," when discussing large food brands/chains.

Now we're talking, but I'm going to need you to downgrade the heat to a nice mild.

I cant help but pick on tabasco. its so weak and poor. its like the kid with no pokemon cards in 2nd grade, the fuck is he even doing.

If you're gonna mess with Tabasco, there are some good choices to me made though:

It's good, but I still prefer original Cholula. I'd like to try the chili lime, though.

joeyjoejoeshabadoo · Jun 25, 2012

Tapatio, of course. How is this even debatable? They even have a Doritos flavor.

G-Fex · Jun 25, 2012

tapatio , using it on my pizza right now.

chili lime cholula in a marinade or drizzled on top of some fish tacos/tortilla chips is pretty damn good.

That's when you know you've made it.

Death Dealer · Jun 25, 2012

I prefer Cholula over Tapatio. I've never had Valentina.

Heel · Jun 25, 2012

I ride for Cholula.

Not as deep as he thinks

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
