what's the best bottled barbeque and/or steak sauce out there?  I
use a1 bold sometimes, but my stepmother got me hooked on Pickapeppa
sauce on my steak.  also, yesterday I tried a new flavor of Open Pit
bbq sauce- brown sugar and molasses.  it was really good!  kind of
sweet, but tangy, too.  It also had a subtle hickory flavor that was really
good. so tell me, what are your faves?

 I like ribs king and kc masterpiece on chicken. 

 I don't really care too much for A1 bold.

(I actually *love* A1, although I haven't had much to put it on as of
late. Some day...)

Try "Texas Honey Mustard."  -- stands up to hickory smoked pork/beef.

The best dry rub I've found is Rendevoux Restaurant's.  They're in
Memphis.

 I am also fairly partial to "Mister Mustard Sweet n Hot"

 $1.29 for a little bottle, but it is so good on a ham sandwich.

Brenda...about that Pickapeppa sauce.....for a terrific appetizer
dump a good portion of it over a block of soften cream cheese and
use town house crackers to clean it up with....my friends who
*hate* hot stuff always ask me to bring it to parties.
Guess since I am moving, I will have to tell them it is a bought
sauce not home made....<wicked grin>

that sounds great Arwen!  thanks!

 There is a sauce from Lea and Perrins called "HP" which is sort
of a cross between A1 and Worchestershire sauce. Not bad.

( that cream cheese thing is also good with pepper jelly and horseradish)

i happen to like 'bullseye' for bbqing.

Bulleye is great.  I also like A1 Bold-- sorry, omni.
Anyone tried the Bulleye Salsa flavor?

To resurrect this item, what other cooking sauces do you like and 
can't be without?  Say, hot sauces and such?

Tiger Sauce! Goes great with:eggs,some mild fish, pork chops. Maybe a
splash in the fried potatoes.

I started one of the Melinda's Original Habanero Pepper Sauce series: 
the Chipotle flavor.  Smoky with a real bite, and not too hot.  
Basically, it's just a standard habanero sauce (carrots, lime juice, 
garlic, vinegar, salt, red habanero peppers) with chipotle peppers 
mixed in... the chipotle is essentially a smoked jalapeno.

I live by Sweet Baby Rays.  :)

Clancy's Fancy for me... 

I like Clancy's, too.  I saw the bottling operation when it was still at the
Tech Center -- one guy in a kitchen, basically.  Surprisingly low-tech and
simple.

I have no use for the stuff, but I got Jason massively hooked.  Around here,
though, the only places that have it are the specialty shopos, so it's
expensive!

I *just* put some Clancy's into the tortilla soup I'm making 
for dinner.  It is my favorite hot sauce.

To revive this item once again, there's a sauce from down south that I really
liked called 'Bone Suckin' Sauce.  Good stuff!  A number of years ago, I
bought some up here and gave it to one of my brothers [some of the rest of
the family had some, too].  For the longest time, any time I drove up to MI,
I was requested to bring them some more. I'll have to do a google search
sometime and see if I can find any up here-or maybe its just a southern/NC
thing.

Another thing I like is a good honey mustard, though there is one kind I had
tried and didn't really like at all. The first one I had ever tried I had
gotten from Zingermans years ago...  Since then, I've used French's honey
mustard; not quite the same as this stuff from Zing's but still ok for $3-4.
Cheaper if you can find it on sale.

I've seen the Bone Suckin' Sauce around, just not sure where.  I suspect
it was either Bella Vino or The Produce Station.

The mustard you had at Zing's was probably Honeycup mustard.  Another 
brand that comes quite close yet costs significantly less is Boar's Head 
honey mustard, available at Krogers.  It runs about three dollars.  At 
least to my taste it's a good runner-up.

Hmm, I bet it WAS the honeycup mustard, that sounds vaguely familiar. I don't
think I've had any since before moving to NC but I do recall how much I liked
it [and at least one substitute didn't live up to my memories]. I'll have to
try the Boar's Head stuff next time I go to Krogers. Thanks, Mary.  And I'll
have to see about checking into that Bone Suckin' Sauce, too.

Hey, Denise, I spotted your Bone Suckin' sauce today, at Busch's
on Plymouth Rd.  It's not cheap at about $5.50 a jar but I'm 
thinking I'll make some bbq chicken tomorrow and give it a try.
It comes in regular and hot.  Which did you like?

<bites tongue>

Mary, thanks for the tip; I'll have to check Busch's out--I'll be up that way
tomorrow anyway [and I need to get some other groceries, too].  I prefer the
regular. Though I like the flavors of various spices, I don't like my food
very hot, as to me, the hotness takes the flavor away. [The price of the Bone
Suckin' sauce seems to have gone up quite a bit since I last brought it. I
do recall, since its made in the south, we were able to get the sauce in
various sized containers. I remember seeing a small 'travel' or gift sized
one as well as a big one that was at least a quart, maybe bigger.]

I stopped at Busch's today... And found they had a more extensive varities
of bbq sauces and marinades than places like Krogers.  So I did pick up a
couple-The Bone Suckin' Sauce [I recall it being good on both chicken and on
burgers] and some Cashew Curry marinade [also got some curry powder from the
spice isle]. So I've got some chicken breast in the oven now that I marinated
in the cashew curry sauce for about an hour [I'm not sure if that was long
enough since the chicken was frozen; we'll see].  Sometime in the next day
or two, I'' try the Bone Suckin sauce on a burger.
 :-)

I put skinned chicken pieces in the crockpot along with some thinly sliced 
red onion.  Then I added a jar of the Bone Suckin' sauce and let 'er rip 
on low for six hours.  I then removed the falling-of-the-bone tender 
chicken and put the crockpot sauce into a saucepan and reduced it until it 
was quite thick.  Then it went back over the chicken.  Yummy stuff and the 
house smells wonderful.  I'm calling it Suckin' Good Chicken.  

Thanks for the tip, Denise!

Mary, that sure sounds delicious!  Thanks for the idea... I may have to try
that with my skinless boneless chicken breast soon.

Next time I do the chicken with the cashew curry, I'm going to let the chicken
thaw a bit more before marinating it. I liked the flavor of the sauce ok but
it didn't absorb into the meat all that much even though I left it on the
counter to help thaw it [but only for an hour, not long enough].  I cooked
two of them, though, and still have 1 and about 1/4 of the other one still
left for tomorrow. Maybe it'll tast a bit better by then.  

Mary, that sounds *tasty*.  I'm going to try that.

Bone Suckin' Sauce is pretty good.  Another kind I like is called City
Kidz, but I haven't seen it around in a while.  Both kinds go really
well in my bbq pinto beans.

I've been to a couple places [down south] where they served the Bone Suckin'
Sauce as a 'dip' for tortilla chips. It's watery for a dip but the flavor is
still good.

Last night I cooked up a burger with the sauce [I added it while cooking].
I think the flavor is a bit stronger *after* the burger is cooked, though.

If you like Teriyaki sauce, Meijers sells a really good one called "Veri
Teriyaki"  But it's awesome, especially on broiled salmon.

I hate teriyaki sauce.  Its more disgusting than steak sauce or ketchup.
I prefer thai curry sauces.

I like teriyaki sauce!

I don't like teriyaki sauce, either. I've tried it on chicken and on a burger
and didn't like either one. Oh well, there's enough other good stuff to put
on food! A lot of times, I just use lettuce, tomato, and maybe cheese and/or
mayo on my burger. Having lots of different flavors/condiments aren't
necessarily tasting good to me since it can mask the flavor of the meat.

When I brought the sauces mentioned in an earlier response, I did buy a curry
based marinade to try-sometime in the near future.  I'm learning to become
a bit more creative/daring in some of the stuff I'm trying to cook.

I was raised a great deal by my grandparents.  I won't begin to tell 
you how I've been raised to give tribute to the Heinz ketchup 
bottle....

Daddy Sam's Just Slop It On! barbecue sauce is really, really good. 
It's even better than Bone Suckin' Sauce.

You mean there's actually something better than Bone Suckin' Sauce? Wow,
I  like BSS [the regular, not the hot kind].

Daddy Sam's comes in some interesting varieties, too.  I'm eager to try
the ginger-jalapeno.
