Finally tried Crystal. 10/10. Simple and no flaws.
Just came to my local food lion.

I love it on chicken, especially fried chicken.

Good choice. It is one of my favorite hot sauces.

Crystal versus Louisiana versus Texas Pete.
They are all nicely flavored vinegar.

My dad and I would eat our frozen taquitos with crystal and at this point it’s my preference when eating them. That’s really all I use it for but always brings back memories

It’s good. It isn’t hot enough (or at all really) to be a great hot sauce though.

Marinate some chicken in Crystal hot sauce before you shake ’n’ bake it. Chef’s kiss!

This is my morning eggs and toast sauce. It’s no frills, and delicious

I discovered Crystal last year on a business trip to NOLA. Love the stuff. Perfect when I need to perk up a dish or a sauce.

This sauce was a school cafeteria staple 50 years ago

Nothing like Crystal hot sauce on a hard boiled egg. YUUUMMM!
osmosisparrot
It’s my favorite

Totally agree. Love Tabasco and Louisiana is just under that but first thing I’m teaching for is Crystal.

I don’t have Crystal at my local grocery so I ordered online. I got a regular and the extra hot. I never knew they had an extra hot. It’s not super spicy at all. Both are very good.

Crystal is the Arizona Tea of the hot sauce world. What I mean by that, is you can pick up a big bottle of Crystal for like… $1.29. In a world where prices on EVERYTHING are absolutely out of control, Crystal and Arizona Tea are two companies that *refuse* to fuck people over chasing profits for stock holders. I applaud Crystal for staying so darn cheap. The fact that Crystal actually has AMAZING flavor is just the cherry on top.

The stuff is straight up magic. Perfect for fried chicken. New Orleans (Metarie actally) finest!

For fried chicken, Crystal and Louisiana are the only 2 correct options.

Ah, a fellow hot sauce and pizza rolls connoisseur

Wonderful on fried fish or shrimp as well!

I feel like Crystal should be used for seafood/oysters, and only seafood/oysters.
kainstarchaser
My favorite. So versatile.
Mattjew24
Its alright. Good flavor. Quite mild. Supposedly, its killer on Cajun seafood.
Me? I go with Tabasco or Franks typically
boomanchew7
Perfect to eat a lot of.

Crystal is king.

GOAT hot sauce

I put this shit on everything.

I really like Crystal on sardines. So good. Franks is ok on sardines too, but Crystal is just right.

Had to double check what subreddit this was posted in for a second… hahaha
But yeah crystal is amazing especially on chicken salad wraps
ALWanders
It has great flavor, I would like it to be much hotter, but I do like the flavor.
Scared_Rain_9127
I prefer Louisiana hot sauce.
DJHickman
It’s like if someone capable actually finished Tabasco.
DopeyDeathMetal
It really is the perfect hot sauce when you think about it
Bluewater795
Out of all hot sauces I’ve tried it simply tastes the best. I wish it was hotter, though. I need to find the xtra hot version because it isn’t sold in any stores around me.
Repgrind
Perfect table sauce.
DDenlow
Next try Cajun chef!

Pizza rolls!!!! 🩷

This is my leftover pizza sauce

As a native New Orleanian, it’s my firm belief that Crystal is the platonic form of hot sauce. Nothing better on a shrimp poboy or a bowl of red beans and rice.

Right?! My coworker insisted I try it. She ended up buying me a bottle! Greatest gift I’ve ever received! 😜 ok, maybe not the best gift ever, but definitely life changing. So good!
Dear-Smile
It uh….gets the job done, I guess. I have a bottle of extra hot. I like it better.
membershipholder
Nope. Louisiana is way better. Same class of cheap. But better. The blue and yellow label
Academic_Ad_4029
I love Crystal!
Odd_Theory_1031
It is good stuff!
sissyh1976
My favorite Louisiana style
johnnyribcage
See a lot of crystal glazing around here lately. It’s fine.
Maleficent-Thanks-85
I love it. I like to use it as a base for anything with heat just for the flavor. I prefer more heat so I’ll use crystals and mix with a hotter sauce.
