I've basically whittled my hot stuff down to 3 items...
- Sliced, pickled jalapenos (we buy 'em by the gallon).
- Tabasco sauce. Plenty of heat for my system, and I like the flavor.
- Chipotle sauce (Tabasco brand). It's not near hot as tabasco, but has a great smoky flavor that I really like. It's great on pizza.
We also have some African Birdseye ground pepper (it's basically heat with very little flavor). I bought it because I don't care for the "whang" of cayenne pepper when it takes so much to make foods spicy. Haven't used the Birdseye in a while - ha! hadn't even thought about it in a while, until this post...
I like some heat, but I don't want anything painfully hot. Not interested in habaneros at all (threw out the last jar we had), or anything else in that heat range.
I got nothing to prove.
Amen brother. anything that actually hurts to eat, is something I do not need to impress anyone, or pretend to enjoy.
There's a chili sauce brand that has a pic of a chicken on their label .... Sriracha brand, (Wal Mart)I've been using for several years now.
There's one thing I won't tolerate is these so-called chili sauces that are 75% vinegar .... like Tabasco.
I can do without vinegar on most of my my foods. I use chili sauce on food for the taste not just to burn the shiite out of my taste buds. They're already about useless after 50 years of smoking anyway.
