Yep, me too. It's pointless to use the hottest of hot if all it does it burns your mouth and you cannot taste your food. Hot with good flavor is where it's at.

I'm not a huge hot sauce guy, but I like some. For me, it's all about the flavor. I don't like hot for the sake of hot. I like cholula, and I keep a bottle of Tobasco Chipotle sauce in each of my cars. Not very hot, I know, but tasty. I really dislike the flavor of habaneros. I would be very curious to try some real jerk sauce, it sounds very interesting.

Steve,

That does look good. Care to share the recipe basics?

Basically:

Some vinigar
a bunch of habaneros ( I use a mix of homegrown Red Sovina and "regular" Habs)
a few jalaponoes
some chipoltes
some garlic, onions, and "stuff"
some seasoning, then let it cook down.

After it cools a bit I puree it in a blender. I recommend [SIZE="4"]NOT[/SIZE] opening the blender for awhile afterwards though! I just about gassed myself out of the house by opening it up to soon the first time !

That's good stuff....as is Grace's Habanero pepper sauce which is fiery hot! Can't get enough of it

Right now my favorite is Tabasco Chipotle. . . great on almost anything. Makes really good wings too!

If I want the hottest of hot....I just use pepper spray on my food.

In all seriousness though I like it hot, but w/ flavor. Back when I had roommates we would occassionally eat each others food in the fridge. I had ordered a pizza and wasn't going to tolerate my roommate eating on this. I put some "Satan's blood" on two of the slices separate from the others. Sure enough he went for them. I heard this cussing and screaming at about three in the morning to the tune of, "F#$k me!!, F#$k me!! Classic. That is an example when hot is too hot.

My worst experience is trying some novelty sauce once and getting it on my hands, thus taking a drunk wizz and transferred onto my . BOTL's.....always wash your hands after handling the hottest of hot sauces.

AWESOME on pizza! Also hamburgers, hotdogs, and mixed with ketchup for french fry dipping.

Try adding it to cocktail sauce as well.

[LORD PUFFER]

Good on sushi as well.

For store bought, Sriracha is some good stuff.
