What is hot sauce good for?

What finger foods would be good for a hot sauce tasting party?

  • What finger foods would be good for a hot sauce tasting party? Hi! I am hosting a tasting of different Caribbean hot sauces, and need ideas of what to put them on. The tricky part is that these snacks have to be made in advance, transported & served cold, or room-temp. Any creative ideas are much appreciated! They can be either dipped into the sauces, or the sauces can be already in or on them. The sauces will include a very hot scotch bonnet sauce, a curry hot sauce & a sweet/hot fruit based sauce. A Caribbean, down island theme is the overall "flavor" of the event. Thank you for your responses!

  • Answer:

    Roast yam fingers - can be served room temperature and taste good with hot sauce. Roast cauliflower florets, the same.

Maybe some fried plantain chips or http://allrecipes.com/recipe/tostones-fried-plantains/? Also can I come to your hot sauce party?

Oh, so. The Caribbean take on polenta is http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/festival-jamaican-cornbread-fritters (Jamaican corn bread fritters). This is now a thing I know. Sounds like it fits your theme.

I've always loved hot sauce on hard boiled eggs.

Oysters. That's the obvious answer, right? Go ahead and memail if you want a super secret cocktail/oyster shooter recipe to try with your hot sauces. Ditto I can recommend oyster suppliers to you. If you don't get them delivered overnight, check the tag when you buy them from a retailer in your area. Oysters live for a few weeks, but they are optimal within 4 days of harvest. The oyster tag that comes in the bag they are shipped in has the harvest date.

You should definitely have other, better foods, but saltine crackers would be good to have as part of the mix. Sometimes people want to test what a hot sauce tastes like all by itself.

Fried tofu cubes served on skewers.

Cauliflower tastes pretty good with BBQ sauce, so hot sauce has gotta be semi good too!

I love pork rinds/chicharrones with hot sauce. They're neutral enough to let the hot sauce flavors come out, and they have enough fat to prevent your palate from being blown-out by chili powers.

How about cold, plain chicken wings?
