I'm a chili head and I fucking hate hot sauce that's just pain without flavor. I've also been the guy in a Thai restaurant that regretted "hottest" on their menu.

I think that's why I tend to like carrot based hot sauces over vinegar. The carrot dulls the spiciness a bit and you get the flavor of the peppers more.

Carrot based hot sauce you say? I'm intrigued and will research on my own, but do you have a suggestion for a good tasting medium heat hot sauce that is carrot based?

Secret Aardvark is pretty famous in the US West and its third ingredient is carrot. This site has a whole section for carrot-based. I think they are usually habanero sauces

I actually have some Secret Aardvark in my fridge already, it's tasty stuff. Never realized it was carrot based. Thanks for the info and link.
