Rare We_like_to_cruise Posted February 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi ! Well we certainly like to cruise to experience new culinary delights. But, I do like my hot sauce occasionally. Anyone know what is on the hot sauce menu on Sky? Here's one of my favorites. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted February 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2022 The only hot sauce I have ever seen on Princess is Tabasco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted February 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2022 We are currently on the Emerald and we always bring our favorite hot sauce with us (Chalula). Our waiter keeps it for us at his station. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafem Posted February 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just off the ruby and only "hot sauce" we saw was tabasco. Hubs and I both commented on how bland the food was... couldn't find heat anywhere. AWW, we lived, but plan on taking at least some chili oil with us on the next one!

tococm Posted February 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2022 buffalo chicken wings were terrible on super bowl sky princess. Guess they need to learn about Franks. Next cruise I'll bring my own franks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted February 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Most food on the ships is bland. I think once in a while they have salsa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted February 21, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2022 On the Regal earlier this month, the waiter gave me a choice of Tabasco or Cholula when I asked for hot sauce. The chili garlic sauce is one of my favorites at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadzone1003 Posted February 26, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 26, 2022 They also have jalapenos and dried chili peppers, but sometimes it may take awhile to get it. Just back from a 15 day cruise to Hawaii. There were about a half a dozen dishes that specified chili as one of the ingredients, but if you didn't look at the listing you would swear the dishes didn't have chili in them. The hottest dish I had in 15 days didn't list as having anything hot, a paella with calamari steak and pork belly. It was the last night of the cruise, maybe the cooks wanted to cook something to their taste rather than to the taste of their passengers who seem to prefer bland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted February 26, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 26, 2022 We were raised in the Midwest where bland food was the norm. We now live in the Southwest where spicy food is the norm. We lived for several years in New Mexico and quickly learned what red, green or christmas meant. When our relatives come here to visit they always ask us to tone down the spice. Even then they complain about it being too hot. I believe this reason is why the cruise lines tend toward bland food. I had never considered bringing my own hot sauce as the only one I have found onboard is Tobasco which I like along with several others mentioned above. I think my packing list just increased by one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisalta Posted February 26, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Have you ever asked for spicy? Many of the cooks are from countries with spicy food and they do have the spices on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted February 26, 2022 #16 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Today I went to the WFM and scoped out the available hot sauce. They had green and red Tobasco and Sriracha sauce only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture the OP posted was of Siracha sauce and that is the way the same bottle, as shown in the picture, is labelled by Huy Fong Food for sale in the San Francisco Bay area. I suspect that Huy Fong Food labels it as Chili Garlic Sauce in various regions of the country. Edited February 26, 2022 by brisalta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike07 Posted February 26, 2022 #19 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I have a high tolerance for spice, and I've never been on a cruise line that has something that really packs a punch. I understand that my taste buds and tolerance are probably top 5% of people though, if not higher. I've asked Holland America up in the Lido buffet to make something spicier, and it was "meh..." in the end and a wasted effort even though they were trying to do me a favor and get the hottest stuff they had. Granted, I don't have to have spicy food at every meal. If it were important to me, I'd go with others suggestions and BYOB.

I am the OP, and although both are made by the same company, Siracha is not the same as their Chili Garlic Sauce. Siracha is much more liquidy so you can squeeze it out of the spout. You need a spoon to get at the good stuff (the chili garlic sauce). I buy both at my local market.

If I buy a box of 200 for upcoming Cruise, summer camping, etc - do they go bad or expire? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDY0827 Posted April 14, 2022 #23 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Taco Bell hot sauce packs were found in King Tut's tomb. Someone tasted them and that is where the Mummy's Curse originated. They were also discovered in the pyramids of Mexico, home of Montezuma's Revenge. Coincidence? I think not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that they will last well beyond the expiration date if refrigerated. Time will tell... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atobols Posted April 15, 2022 #25 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Overall, I think Princess has pretty bland food. The Indian and Mexican dishes are particularly disappointing. I have found that the hottest sauce available is tabasco and I'm not really a fan of that. I take a small shaker of cayenne and a bottle of habanero Yucateco when we cruise. It makes certain dishes much more enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
