@Camazotz Automat regarding Hot Sauce..
How hot is too hot? I realize that that is a matter of personal preference but what would I find in your fridge right now? Looking for a brand. Not unlike micro breweries there are many, many! hidden gems throughout the land.
Looking to buy some goods
HOT goods!
@KSM Right now, you would only find the "predictable trinity," as pictured.
AKA Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3.
But it is what I consume the
most, so it is a fair indicant.
The only unusual thing (Thing 4) I have is not in the kitchen right now, but at an ex's. Got it at an estate sale while out of town in 2019. I couldn't tell you if it is homemade or not. But it "looks" it. Or it may just be a commercial brand and they put it in an old bottle for decoration.
The estate sale handlers said everything was going, but still acted a little surprised I came back from the kitchen with a little, obviously old, glass bottle of hot sauce, with a simple label on it. Lol.
It didn't matter to me if it had Dairy Queen hot sauce in it or high end liquid fire. I was digging the medicinal looking antique bottle.
One or two or drops was all I could handle in a bowl of chili.
The Scoville index must be far above anything I normally use.
I know she still has it. She contacted me around Halloween this year to ask if she could use a few drops on someone she's seeing. He likes to brag he doesn't "feel anything" when eating different types of chile peppers. Apparently he was obnoxious toward a server at a restaurant and it had something to do with a meal not being "hot enough" for him. I dont know, some kind of BS - and it embarrassed her.
I replied, "Thanks for asking me about it. I had forgotten all about that bottle. Be generous and put four drops on his food and enjoy the fireworks. But please don't waste any more than that on him. And make sure YOU do the doping. He may think it's like Frank's Redhot and pour the whole contents out. It would be a pity for it to all go to waste like that."
I should have her send it to me. It's basically still full I'm sure. It's not colorful. Paper with handwritten Spanish words. But the bottle rocks. I would call it "minimalism to contrast the loud."
Yes. This sauce talk makes me realize I need to get it back.
We parted on good terms. Thank God she didn't toss it.
