Hoooweee!

You outta come by some day and sample my selection of finer hawt sauces, plus my home-grown habeneros and chilies. Wifey makes deadly stuffed jalapenos from the garden as well. [smilie=i:[smilie=d:

Then we cool it off just a bit with tequila.
 
Stretch and I have a friend that home-grows hot peppers. Hopefully I'll be getting some of those before too long. :dance:

I've got some killer hot sauces as well. Unfortunately, I can't use them at the moment. The Mad Dog sauces have excellent flavor to them, but yes--they are freakin' hot.
 
Yeah - I got my initial bedding plants from a friend who is a horticulturist by trade. (Yes, you can go to school for that....)

He is doing Thai chilies this year - hope to get some of his plants next year.

Below is the dried remnants of last years crop.


I ground some of the habaneros as well and put them into a shaker for adding some quick fire to a meal.

Oh God.....
 
I was in a hot sauce store yesterday in Niagara Falls.

They have a ton of their own store brand sauces as well as other brands.

They have Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper sauce, but that's not the hottest sauce they have.

They have one called The Hottest Sauce in the Universe 2nd Dimension.

If you survive a tasting, they give you a sticker.

I got a sticker. :P

They give you a choice of dipping a tooth pick or having a drop on a chip.
I chose the drop on the chip.
I should have chosen the dipped tooth pick...

The guy put a pretty sizable drop on the chip. My first thought was, "That's WAY too much." Then I popped it in my mouth.

Then I started to cry.
Well, not weeping, but ya know.

I was already sweating from the walk up the hill from The Falls. I didn't think there was any possible way I could sweat more.
I think I started sweating bone marrow...

Starbucks next door sells milk in those little cartons. They only had one left. It was almost enough. Almost.

There's no taste to that kind of stuff though - and they tell you as much. The whole idea of it is to add heat to a recipe.


But you get a STICKER!
 
Sad thing is, Feesh, if they made the Mad Dog in a non-hot version you'd probably love it. It's got a really good taste amidst the burning. :D

Yeah. This is a very good one.

As much as I love hot/spicy foods and additives like the above, at the end of the day, to be good they have to add to or enhance the flavour of the food to be of value. If all you can taste is the burn from the peppers or sauce, it's kind of pointless...you might as well just drink it from the bottle.
 
I can handle a bit hotter than mild or medium hotness from most mainstream brands. My heartburn goes a bit wonky and I get hiccups now and then but, I can't really handle anything beyond that. If it makes my mouth water with a simmering feeling, that's about my limit. If it turns me into a human dragon :dgt: Yeah, I'm a big wuss when it comes to spicy food! :D Although, some of my Pacific Island friends used to make a lot of their island dishes and use habaneros. I could handle that as long as it was mixed in with a lot of rice. :D
 
i do love my spice..but its gotta have good solid FLAVOR or its useless...course some peppers i am alergic to sooo ive gotta be carefull...yes i like the wow this is soo hot i cant feel my tongue
 
You should try the original Mad Dog Inferno, 69.5. It's not as hot as this stuff, but it does have real flavor. It really adds a lot to a pot of chili or jambalaya in the line of taste, even with just a little. It's not hard to go overboard.
 
The type of peppers or sauce used needs to suit the flavors of the dish you are eating as well. For example, jalapenos or habanero peppers, and their derivative sauces don't really work with a Thai noodle dish very well......but my jar of Vietnamese chilies in oil certainly does..... [smilie=i:

This is part of what makes this fun. Sampling all of the different flavors that comes with the fire. It's why there is an entire shelf in our fridge reserved for hot sauces, chilies and mustards.

Admittedly, I don't keep as many hot sauces as I used to since we have began growing our own peppers and using them fresh/dried instead... But sometimes a good hot sauce has a unique blended flavor of it's own that adds to the taste beyond just the source herbs or peppers.
 
I'm a big fan of Silver Spring Habanero Mustard, which is pretty hot, but I don't use it anywhere I'd ordinarily use mustard. Sometimes a guy just wants a normal bratwurst, rather than a flaming one.
 
I'm making an omelette right now for the same reason... but I can't use any of my hot sauces on it. :(
 
Mmmmmmm - actually I love to make my omelettes with banana peppers, fresh mushrooms and cilantro.

Why no hawt sawce Doc? Health issues?
 
Yep, but it's not the heat that could cause problems... it's the sodium, the content of which is not given on a couple of my favorites. I'm on a low-sodium diet, so everything is cooked from scratch with nothing but fresh ingredients at Chez Jass these days. I'm finding ways around using salt, but when something is high in sodium I just avoid it. Frank's Red Hot and Perfect Louisiana are very high; I won't risk it with the Mad Dog or Blair's.
