When you are out west, lets say Arizona or New Mexico, the servers ask if you like Christmas.
If you say yes, red  and green sauces appear on your table .Using green salsa or red salsa  is the Mild (safe) way to go. Being authentic is using green habernero sauce (green hot chile pepper)  and the red chili in popular Sriracha. Of course you can get used to the heat and might be able to go with Wasabi which is Asian and Way Hot. Asian is  not how its done out West or in Southwest Detroit, its originally a coastal food addition - blame the hipsters

The green pepper is not as Hot as the Horseradish

  Jean of the Islands -All about the Sauce Part 2 (Detroit in my childhood  was short on Caribbean influences and long on Deep South cooking, and as a kid I would rather Eat than Cook (2)... Having grown up in Detroit's Northwest section at a time when it was more Jewish than Black , I remember the bakeries that sold huge loaves of slightly sugary white bread. This bread was great for Dagwood sized sandwiches. When I started high school I discovered the food joints surrounding the school even though I had no lunch privileges off campus (1) during the school day...After school I would walk until I saw a bus, so a walk down Wyoming near Curtis on my way to 7 mile  road  was a chance to sample some of the best BBQ this side of the South. Thanks to the Great Migration, families had brought up their grilling, sauce and pork fixing traditions and each spot had its own style.  This was before  the era of Anita Baker singing near Fenkell. The west side had their joints and the East side
