Hello everyone!
Does anyone know of a good European alternative to Tabasco hot sauce that comes from Europe? Also, an online store where I could buy this sauce would be great.
Many thanks in advance!
not European but Thai:
Sriracha
There’s multiple variants, but they’re all much better than Tabasco.My favorite are extra garlic (brown cap), extra hot (black cap) and creamy mild (orange cap).
I would not recommend Sriracha as an alternative to Tobasco. They’re two entirely different things, for entirely different purposes. Sriracha is delicious, but it’s not gonna give the vinegar-y lil kick that Tobasco does.
Are the Sriracha style sauces you buy in the west, really Thai? IIRC one brand that them popular is a US company.
Just checked, the brand I use, uni-eagle, is German.
Another spicy condiment to try is harissa (North African) or sambals from south east Asia.
Or Peri-Peri.
Um… Why have you forgotten about Mexico? That’s like the land of hot sauce. See what you can import.
The sub is names “BuyFromEU”, so I don’t find it a crazy idea to look for stuff from the EU to buy.
Although you’re right, I’d still say we ought to support Mexico where we can. And they make incredible hot sauces
An alternative to Tabasco? Try infusing vinegar with your choice of hot peppers. Simply pack 'em in, and let it sit. Adjust to taste. Tabasco is hot sauce like Nutella is chocolate.
Simply pack 'em in, and let it sit.
…for a couple years while it ferments in barrels. Making a Tabasco clone isn’t an overnight process.
Yes, yes, an exact replica of that pansy-ass 90% vinegar “product” is what the goal is, rather than a far simpler improvement just about anyone anywhere can make, and quickly…
If you’ll look back at the simile above, I think you’ll find Nutella was chosen for more than one reason.
Will try that. Thanks!

If you like the taste and the scoville level of tabasco sauces: “Fuego” has a very similar series to the tabasco series. And it tastes a bit less vinegar.
e.g. “Fuego Hot Jalapeno” https://fuchsgruppe.shop/fuego/produkte/salsas-co./
Available e.g. at Edeka Germany. They deliver everywhere in EU.
Robin Hot from Slovenia. They sell it at Mix Markt in Germany and Austria.
Skånsk Chili has an own online shop and is also sold at other places.
Aldi sometimes has an organic red chili sauce made in Danmark.
Just get a generic hot sauce that looks like tabasco, prefer organic. It will either taste the same or better.
I have this: https://sanchon.de/produkte/habanero-hot-sauce/ (German company, may not be available elsewhere)
In the UK there is the Nando’s hot sauce that have this vinegary/spicy mix.
