    Love hot stuff. I always have sriracha, two or three kinds of tobasco, and a couple of other hot sauces in the house. I really enjoy fresh chilies and put them in all kinds of stuff. I grow my own chile pequins and jalapenos. I've pickled jalapenos and made jalapeno jelly and I've also made my own chipotles. I leave a lot of the pequins on the plant until they turn red and then dry and crush them to sprinkle on stuff.

    Add some fresh ginger to your hot sauce fun. It has it's own kick and will add to the spice-o-rama joy and it's no sodium. :)

    Oh my, just remembered why I don't buy pickled jalapenos anymore - I eat the entire jar in one sitting. I pay for it the next day but goodness it's worth the pain.

    If you're concerned about sodium and still want the heat, then go for a hotter sauce - I'll use anything from Tabasco to Blair's Death series based on what I'm cooking.

    My family's one of those "you gotta be nuts" groups. I go for stuff that equates to liquid fire (there's nothing like doing the two-drop per chip hot sauce sinus cleaner), my wife is more moderate - she goes for habanero sauces. My son loves Tabasco on his scrambled eggs - not bad for a toddler.

    I posted a pic of my collection in the last hot sauce thread, but I'll refrain here - all I need to say is that we've got about 70+ sauces on the shelf now and I'm always on the lookout for new ones.

    I like hot and spicy as well, grow a number of different Thai and chili peppers. I harvest the peppers then dry them, grind them up into a powder that makes an incredible seasoning. Gives you the kick without the sodium.

    I'm just finishing a batch of smoked peppers, 8 hours smoked with hickory, 7 days drying, makes a great spicy/smokey seasoning.

    And to the guy who drank a bottle of Tabasco while drunk: I had a waiter bring me some hot sauce for a steak I had ordered, and he brought out a little cup of something that seemed like Tabasco or Texas Pete. I took one sniff, tasted it, and drank the cup in front of him. Next time, I bring my own stuff.

    maybe find other hot spices (instead of sauces) that have little sodium. What about red pepper?

    OMG YESSSS.. count me in! I love spicy foods of all kinds as long as it is spicy.

    To be honest I can't eat without raw onions, garlic plus 6 pieces of chili peppers or 3 pieces of jalapeno peppers either mixed in with my food or just on the side. Food taste bland to me without those important ingredients. No joke.

    I normally don't like store bought salsas (prefer making my own fresh) but I really enjoy this one.
