El yucateca is spicy no matter the color.

Green sauces are made with tomatillos/green peppers/etc. and has a more vegetal flavor, while red sauces are made with tomatoes/red peppers/etc. andtastes like tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and the like. Spice level is irrelevant. Put more simply, the green sauces taste "green" and the red sauces taste "red"; and are better on different things. The good ones are hot as hell regardless of color.

Green is kiki and red is bouba. Got it.

I fire roast my tomatillos and serranos before making my salsa, that’s why it’s green and hot as hell, and also doesn’t taste anything like raw veggies.

[–] alyqz@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 54 minutes ago

That sounds amazing.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I'm my experience green sauces are always hotter.

Wrap it up before you do. You don't know where it's been and it could make your dick burn.

Anyone who’s jorked it the night after chopping spicy peppers for dinner knows this.

Always lick your fingers to test first.

You got to lick it

Before you stick it

If the green sauce has little white dots in it (seeds), then stay 👏 away 👏from 👏 it 👏!

[–] fleebleneeble@reddthat.com 16 points 16 hours ago

I'm gonna drink it

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

Hell no that's the good stuff

As a Mexican this makes perfect sense for me. And the "jungle juice" or "medicine" thing is just completely ridiculous. I guess it's just my general experience with sauces. Heck I'm writing this at a fondita (mexican folk restaurant) and the spiciest one is definitely the green one.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Its the fuckin habanero that will always get you. The red one is always milder sauce and the dark red one is always chipotle or mole, which are not spicy.

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

Think of the colour of the sauce as more of a traffic light colour for when it comes out the other end.
