Mexican hot sauce
Mexican hot sauce ought to be good, considering the fact that it has been made for years and years in order to help those in Mexico gain a little relief from the heat.
It is a little-known fact that Mexicans traditionally cooked very spicy foods in an effort to be able to cool off. Because the Mexican food is so spicy, it causes people to sweat while eating it. It is this sweat that ultimately has a cooling effect and allows people to cool off on a hot Mexican day.While it seems as if the main goal for many manufacturers of hot sauce is to simply see how hot they can make their sauce without killing someone, Mexican hot sauce serves a much different purpose. The Mexican sauce is much more mild than the very hot sauces. That is because it focuses more on providing flavor ton the food than it does simply on being hot.
One of the nice things about these sauces is the fact that vinegar is pretty much foreign to any Mexican sauce since it is very rarely used. Because there is less vinegar used, it is easier to taste the individual peppers. Because vinegar is rarely used, one of the popular items that takes its place is Chipotle.
The makers of Mexican hot sauce tend to look at the sauce more as a flavor enhancement than anything else and it has seemed to work well for them for many, many years already and will likely continue many years into the future.
