more hot sauce

I like it because I do. If it's hot coming in and hot going out, then that means it was good.

Thanks for sharing...

Gosh, I do love hot sauce.

Curtybob · #4 03-09-2008, 11:57 AM

My ex-wife's grandmother sent me a jar (I think it may have been a baby food jar) of homemade hotsauce one time. I like spicy.... but this was just pure evil. I grew up in southern Louisiana eating cajun food with extra cayenne pepper... and my Dad loved mexican dishes with lots of fresh peppers. He always said that pickled peppers were for sissies.

But yeah, I really love a nice bowl of red beans and rice with a healthy dose of hot sauce... but that stuff she sent will kill. she called it "Bottled Hell". She told me to try a little, but to dip the tip of a toothpick in it and not to try tasting more than that. I dipped my finger and tasted it. I thought I was gonna die from spontaneous combustion.

I still use tobasco sauce, but anything hotter than that just gives me nightmares of that stuff in the baby food jar.

Found this at the supermarket one time in the bargain section.

I bought a few bottles at $0.89 a piece... the best three dollar investment I ever made. It's one of the hottest (and tastiest) hot sauces I've ever had.

I like this stuff

from the other thread I wrote:

[quote]I'll tell you our secret ingredient, we sourced some Siracha Hot Sauce (Cock Sauce ) from a restaurant supplier. I find Siracha to be the best secret ingredient to everything from chili and bbq to spaghetti.

I'm not sure that this will answer your question, but the burning sensation does help wake up flavors in food.[quote/]

Canned peppers seem hotter to me than fresh.

I know with jalapenos, the fresh ones have alot more heat. Well, I've had some that were pickled with a habanero that were pretty warm, but barring those, pickled peppers are a little smoother.

Take a whole jalapeño, then BBQ it to the state that it is starting to darken a little bit, maybe browning. Then eat that. Hotter than a habanero.

Hell yeah!! I've actually done that before, and even done it on a George Foreman grill with the same results. I use a variation on this to season jambalaya as well. I use a meat injector to squeeze a few drops of butter, lemon juice, and some cajun seasoning (any brand will work, but Tony Chachere's is what I normally use) in 3 or 4 jalapenos. Then I grill them really slow to keep the juice from boiling out of the hole, and then I slice them up (save whatever juice might be left inside.... just cut over a bowl) and toss them in the jambalaya about 5 minutes before the rice is done.

That's some good food right there. Now I want jambalaya. Thanks.

My high school has once been evacuated because a barrel of fermented peppers fell open during the day. The gases incapacitated everyone.

Got pics?

Lalabadie · #16 03-09-2008, 03:39 PM

Nay, it was a matter of about 30 minutes before the firefighters found the source of the gases and laughed their heads off at the kitchen crew.

In salsas I used to always put serrano peppers in it for more of a bite than jalapenos, but when it comes to flavoring foods and stuff, I've recently discovered a tasty little pepper called datil. Anyone else ever used datil peppers?

When I was in Mexico last I convinced a friend of mine to eat a fried Jalapeño. I thought he was going to die and I thought I was going to die from laughing. Lesson learned, when a Mexican pays you to eat a hot pepper, don't.
