27 Comments on Serious Heat for a Holiday Weekend
Hi Everyone and thanks for your comments this morning.
Heat is an interesting food additive. In some cases, I'd tend to agree with those of you who avoid it as covering up the natural taste of food - with delicate or unique flavors, it often just detracts. In others, it can serve a very useful purpose of brightening up those delicate flavors if used sparingly - as an example, I always use a very small amount of cayenne in Hollandaise, undetectable itself, but noticeable in its effect.
This stuff, however, is nuclear. But it does go very well with regional cuisines, such as Carribean, that are built around it and benefit from the burn. And while it was traditionally used as a masking agent - for food that was probably beyond its "use by" date - today, it does feature in many dishes that highlight its own unique flavors and blend well. And the list of foods that it can enhance really is surprisingly large. The trick is using it in the right amount.
Dick- even though I'm from Texas I've never been into the really hot sauces. Our friend likes it though, however he would definitely recommend washing your hands, thoroughly, after you've been chopping a habenero and before visiting the little boy's room.

I think this is the first time I have ever read about such a hot topic, from a hotter agent in the hottest spot on earth. I know, a bit over off the top even for a Napa Valley volcano. cheers cvc
Dick, I like a little hot sauce in moderation.When I start sweating then I stop or slow down. I have never heard of either of these sauce. You made a great discovery.
Dick, My lips are buring at the thought. You are right though, it burns our mouths and we love it. Hopefully you will one day find the answer to that million dollar question. When you do - please share.
You have my undying loyalty for this post. And, if I don't like either one, they will make great squirrel deterrents. Squirrels are very fond of the jalapeno flakes I add to the birdseed from time to time. The birds eat it, but I wonder how their stomachs feel later.
Seriously, thanks for the tips!
Dick,
The only time we recoiled from heat was a chicken Vindaloo we tasted. I enjoy hot food, always goes well with ice cold beer. Happy Munching, A
Scotch bonnet peppers are just too hot for me.
Dick I knew you are the MAN!! we do not want to compete with anyone who uses Scotch bonnet peppers as a dipping sauce:)))) all kidding aside sounds like it was a fund and enjoyable lunch. Dick you should check out Russell Lewis's blog in Austin TX he competes every year making the hot sauces!
I used to work for a boss in a restaurant that made homemade salsas. One was so stinkin' hot you started sweatin' immediately after it touched your tongue.
Bring it on - I love hot stuff! My husband makes a wicked chili dish that is so hot you're sweating....and we have tons of friends who can't wait to get an invite. We must all be nuts!
My husband would use a spoon and just eat that stuff straight. In the meantime - how about those RAMS!!
When you get up into those kinds of numbers for the Scoville rating...I don't think it really matters. It's just hot. A bit of ginger after a hot meal helps the next day. I'm speaking from personal experience.
I am all over this... out to Amazon to check out availability. But, since I am the cook in the house, I have to tame it down for everyone else...so this will be great.
Ay, Carumba, Dick....you really stirred the pot over here. Now, I have to research some Carribean recipes, and find the source for this hottest of sauces. Whew. I am getting overheated just thinking about it all.
Have a wonderful (hot) weekend.
You crazy dude. I ain't touching that stuff!
Hey, Dick! I included this post in Last Week's Favorites. Have a great week! Oh, and at first I thought it looked like orange juice in the bottle! Guess not.
Dick - I love hot sauce but it doesn't always love me back. And I wonder if Suzanne is still overheated? Poor Ron.
Hi Dick, nice play on words. I was expecting a post on soaring temperatures. This is way better....
They look so unassuming - like orange juice. Refresshing, yet so not! -Kasey
