Just in case you ever wondered about hot sauces

Very cool link!! I use Satans Blood in my restaurant. Sometimes for a laugh I'll offer one of the kids $10.00 if they dip a tooth pick tip in it and taste it(they know how hot it is). Thanks for the cool link!

Something THAT hot would blister your mouth, throat, stomach, etc...:eek:.
 
I wish I could remember the name of the stuff that my friend gave me as a prank about 5 or 6 years ago. His dad brought it back from a business trip, and it was the hottest stuff in a small store that only carried hot sauce. He had to sign a waiver before he bought it.

My experience with it came when I asked for some hot sauce to go with the rice and chicken we ordered from a Chinese place. He casually brought this bottle without warning me that it was a little more potent than usual. I put it on my food and had a few bites. About 20 or 30 seconds later, I started feeling extreme pain and it got worse over the next few minutes. My eyes pretty much swelled shut and I just curled up into a fetal position on the couch. I was incapacitated for at least 20-30 minutes. My pal felt pretty sorry for me, but there was obviously some humor in the situation.

After that, I could drink Tabasco straight from the bottle with no discomfort, and nothing I've had since has seemed all that spicy. I wonder where that stuff ranks on the hot sauce list; it's probably not even in the top 10. I can't imagine what some of those ones would be like.
 
Mike, You may be thinking of "Pure Cap"....
My favorite is "Daves Insanity Sauce" I use it almost everyday to spice up my meals.

Yikes! :eek:

So, I hope you got him back somehow.

Perhaps 20 fireants onto his face and arms while he's sleeping? (don't try that... could risk anaphylactic shock) Or maybe removal of a piece of his scalp? Maybe toothpicks under each finger nail? Maybe shave an eyebrow off while he's drunk. A fake SWAT raid of his house... along with a good dose of pepper spray to the face. ;)
 
Dave's Insanity is what I reach for whenever I want to spice a dish I'm cooking. It's over the top to put directly on food,but it's the best spicy additive when building a hot dish. It's also great as a quick add on for Tomato based soups.

For direct application, I love Ring of Fire and need another bottle as I've run out.

Plain old Tobasco will do if nothing else is available and is actually my fav for eggs in the morning. I keep a big (Costco size) bottle at work and a tiny one in my briefcase as well as a couple bottles at home.

I like it hot. One of the few things my wife cans from her garden is fresh Habaneros mixed with Jalapenos.

Yum Yum.

My favorite hot sauces are:

Dave's Insanity-- an all around extreme heat, but very tasteful, hot sauce. Tremendous amount of varieties.

Spontaneous Combustion-- very hot. Nice, thin, vinegar-style sauce which has the quickest trigger of any hot sauce I've ever had. The most underrated sauce out there.

Slap My Ass And Call Me Sally-- a delicious green sauce. Thin and vinegary.

Capital Punishment-- Very tastey blend. I think there might be cumin in this. Nice message, too.

Original Juan's Batch #114-- A delicious thick sauce. Very natural. Great in chicken and Oriental soups.

Original Juan's Da Bomb-- One of the hottest sauces this side of the pure-cap stuff. Not great tasting, but delivers a very satisfying endorphin rush.

Dan T's Inferno-- Makes incredibly delicious and hot Buffalo wings if you don't have the time to mix your own. (I usually do, and an overly generous heaping of Dave's typically goes into the mix, but that's another story.)

Blair's After Death-- I think this stuff is a little overrated, but it has a good kick and Blair likes his garlic.
 
I'll eat Dave's all day long, even Ultimate Insanity, but Spontaneous combustion seems like all heat and no flavor to me.

Really? I love SC. It has a nice, thin, salty flavor. I consider it Tabasco sauce on steroids....major steroids.

Dave's is a typical heavy tomato-base sauce-- it's thick. Spontaneous Combustion, Tabasco, Smack My Ass And Call Me Sally, and Panola sauce from Louisiana are all fine examples of what I call thin sauce.
 
If you are ever in the LA Farmers market at the Grove, there is a shop there that sells ONLY hot sauces. They have 100's of bottles from around the world.
 
a picnic. Told people it was very hot use very sparingly. The challenge laid down a gentleman came up and laid down a 1/2 inch wide strip down a piece of pizza crust, like he was pouring ketchup. I told him thats too much, he looked at me and said tetstily "You don't know me." I smiled and said go ahead, his first and last bite put about a teaspoon of daves into his mouth. He threw the rest into the fire and said nothing and went to sit down and drink soda by the gallon. Some people never learn.

I love daves to spice thing up great flavor but its a little difficult to measure out what you need to just warm something up.

Whenever I'm in the neighborhood I stop at the Argentenian BBQ place there. You know, one of those places with lots of different meats on giant skewers. It's a great low carb lunch. Their hot sauce is a little wimpy, but the food's good (had to add hot sauce content to keep from thread-jacking).

I need to stop at the hot sauce shop next time and refil my Ring of Fire supply.
