This will be the third hot sauce from the folks from @CholulaHotSauce that I have tried. To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. 

I saw this Chili Garlic hot sauce and figured I had to try it. I mean it has two of my favorite things on the label chilis and garlic. What could be wrong with that?

Saturday morning I made some scrambled eggs, roasted asparagus, fried potatoes and toast for breakfast. This would be a good selection of foods to sample this hot sauce with.

After taking some pictures of my food and the hot sauces I settled down to eat. I unscrewed the wooden cap from the bottle and took a sniff. I could detect only the faintest hint of garlic. It smelled like regular hot sauce. 

I put the cap back on and shook it up.

It still smelled the same. 

I tasted it.

Yep. Hot sauce with only the faintest hint of garlic.

Don’t get me wrong. This is still a good hot sauce. Just not a good hot sauce with “Garlic”.

This is a pet peeve of mine. It ranks up there with the foods that call out “SPICY” or “HOT” on their label and then end up disappointing. If a manufacturer is making a point to add a word to the main label then make sure the product lives up to it. Otherwise, bury it in the list of ingredients. 

Put up, or shut up.

The Cholula Chili Garlic hot sauce does not cost more than the regular Cholula hot sauce so do not bother purchasing this one. You will have a nice hot sauce and will not be stuck with 5 fluid ounces of disappointment when the garlic flavor you were expecting is missing.

The folks at @CholulaHotSauce have some good hot sauces. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the Chili Garlic hot sauce as anything but a hot sauce.
