I’ve been thinking I need to make a mess of greens. I know I have a hamhock in the freezer.

Oh, Lord yes. Tasty stuff!!!

Most other hot sauces will not cut it, though. The exception being [Red Devil](https://www.amazon.com/Trappeys-Red-Devil-Sauce-Ounce/dp/B00032KON8).

Also, I cannot eat a reheated pizza without some sort of hot sauce. Preferably [Frank’s Red Hot](https://www.amazon.com/Franks-Redhot-Original-Cayenne-Pepper/dp/B00099XKXG/ref=pd_sbs_325_img_0/146-7052466-5040334?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00099XKXG&pd_rd_r=73845b05-1577-442f-a4b2-6cae6ccb8373&pd_rd_w=s9alh&pd_rd_wg=GdVhH&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=8DAGCHW99AZPXW4RFVWM&psc=1&refRID=8DAGCHW99AZPXW4RFVWM), both others will do also,

Trappeys Bull is pretty good too, although a little different, as it’s made from red jalapenos and not cayenne peppers. Still in the vinegary Louisiana style though.

Yeah, I do the Tabasco & ketchup thing as well. If for some reason the place doesn’t have Tabasco, black pepper and ketchup is quite nice, too, though a completely different flavor and type of heat.
