I like hot sauce but I don’t carry it with me. I do have a friend whose mother always carries a small sandwich bag filled with chiles, however, and that seems sensible.

Apparently, also hot water.

Dad said Clinton (Bill) always wanted Dr. Pepper stocked in his fridges.
As to people carrying things with them in terms of condiments, I know a lot of people who carry giant things of Splenda.
Hm. Always had him pegged as an RC man, myself.
I use a mild red hot sauce on tacos, and nothing else. But almost everyone younger that I know is insane for the stuff. You really don’t have to carry it with you. Everywhere has crazy hot condiments.

I only like the sane hot condiments, myself! 😉
But it is true that hot sauces – and in a greater than ever variety – are now available across the nation, and even in some foreign countries.
Now if only I could get my Australian friends to buy into salsa, I’d be set!
Salsa is the #1 condiment in the US.
At some point, I’d expect people to spray pepper spray directly into their mouth.
I have pretty seen this, only with what would be considered the eatable version of pepper spray.
Long ago I read an article that had the opinion that the reason Americans were going to hot sauces over mild condiments is because as a person ages their taste buds start to go. So hot sauce gives food ‘taste’.
I have no idea if that is true. But group eating at work has become a contest to see who can ‘take the heat’.
But all this has to eventually come out. They have a LOT of trouble in that department. TMI

My son recently introduced me to Sriracha (sp?) sauce. It’s really good, even on plain rice. Carry it? Nope, don’t want a mess in my briefcase.
Amazon link incoming in 5…4…3…

Was listening to Alton Brown’s pod cast a few years ago and he did a section where he tried different “weird” food combinations. One of the suggestions was Sriracha on cottage cheese. Since I was at the office late at night… and we had both I figured “why the hell not?”
And I’ve never looked back. Pretty much the only way I’ll eat cottage cheese now. 🙂
This is part of what I find to be a disturbing American trend: The constant need to turn any benign food into a throat-scorching, stomach-rending endurance test.
I’ve seen people put jalapenos on ice cream. (Though, thankfully, I lived to tell the tale.) Not every meal has to be a terrifying rite of manhood. (Or womanhood, for that matter.)
And I like a little hot sauce myself. In its place. Which rarely is at my table.
Yes,
On a taco. Not a freaking piece of pizza!

It’s also good for killing ants. Dilute with water and spray the ant hills. They will turn over and kick their little legs for a while then stop. If I remember HS biology correctly, ants breath through a series of tubes through their bodies. The spray fills their “lungs” with hot pepper sauce. And it’s organic, so no lasting poisons.
Lol…
My late uncle put tabasco sauce on everything he ate, including salad.
Good for her. If I carried a purse, I would take habanero sauce with me wherever I went. Hot sauce is addictive.
My girlfriend has packets of Cholula, and a small 1.6oz bottle of Sriracha sauce that she carries on her at all times. I got them for her.
Hot sauce works on almost everything. You don’t have to dump it on…splashes of it add flavor to foods that don’t drown it out.
Oh, shit. I see that the link goes to HRC saying she always carries hot sauce on her.
I guess I really am an unconscionable Neoliberalcon America-hating Hippy Puncher. Son of a bitch.
Sriracha peppers come from Southern California. American as apple pie! With hot sauce!
To me the key is to attain balance in the flavors of the food, without having any one of them be overpowering. The right combination of sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy is perfection to the palate. You can favor one or a couple of the five flavors, but overdo any one of them and it’s often a train wreck.
As for The Hill and their infotainment obsession with what Hillary carries in her bag, all I can say is, “I don’t give a fuckity fucking fuck about your stupid shit”.
Gawwwwwd, this is one part of the whole campaign media idiocy I absolutely hate!!! The sheer inanity of it all. Please make it go away.
Let me see if I have this straight. She boasts of eating “real hard-core hot peppers” daily but wouldn’t be able to handle a habanero?
What falls under her definition of “hard-core” then? An Anaheim? A Fresno?
See, it’s this kind of thing that makes people assume that she’s lying every time her lips move.
This pandering to voters…
Let’s check the fundraising reporting for Hillary’s PAC. I think some donations from hot sauce manufacturers have been laundered thru proxies. The Pepper Papers.
We have a right to know if the Democratic Party is being financed by foreign entities!! What do these extreme special interests want?
Heh. I actually know at least two people who do this. I think some folks get addicted to the sensation to the point that food doesn’t taste right to them without it.
OT, but seemingly buried by MSM.
900+ arrested in Capital protests this week, including Ben and Jerry. Democracy Awakening action.

Hillary carries hot sauce (whether she does or not) to appeal to the many cultures that rely on hot sauce to spice up their foods.
In other words, it’s merely another political stunt. Clever, but I’m guessing if H. Clinton really does like hot sauce that much one of her people carries it.
For the adventurous, Cocktail Crate’s sriracha margarita mixer is delicious. Now that I think about it, I might have one tonight.
