He Brings the Heat to Hot Sauce
” Never before have I tasted hot sauce off a toothpick. But when my mouth caught fire 10 seconds after tasting “Inferno,” one of the hottest of hot sauces in the world, I understood why David Ashley, maker of Mad Dog hot sauces, had urged me to sample his sauce with a toothpick rather than the plastic minispoon I’d used to taste his other, milder sauces. He also insisted - in a stern but kind tone - that I place the toothpick in the center of my tongue, by all means avoiding my lips and the tip of my tongue. He also placed a tall glass of milk in front of me, explaining that a swig of milk is the best way to cool off the burn.”
Off a toothpick?? Now that has to be hot and I’m not sure that I would even want to try it lol… but I’m betting on the fact that my son would. I sometimes think that he doesn’t have taste buds?? So go here and read all about his hot sauce and then check out his recipe!! Here are the ingredients…
5 chili peppers of your choice (see box): jalapeño, habanero, Scotch bonnet, or some other, deseeded (wear rubber gloves) and chopped.
3 to 5 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, or more to taste (optional)
1/2 cup good-quality, red wine vinegar
Juice of one lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
*The part about the rubber gloves kind of scares me. Just hot hot are some of these peppers??
Here’s how you put it all together.
