My favorite, as I believe I am the only other resident chef, with the exception of cheferson, is the rare, secret "bear farts," used by Horatio Sands in the SNL spoof of the Iron Chef tv show.
Also, Pato Brand spicy tomato sauce (Mexican) is great for stews, without being overpowering.
Goya Habanero sauce is $1.69 at the local supermarket...straight habanero heat and great vinegar balance...makes your over easy eggs taste like heaven!!!
There's plent of culinary types out there with enriched capsaisum concentrates that will paralyze your mouth...not so much my thing.
I love to taste the different strata of pure chile balanced with a little garlic, acid and lime.
Probably the best and most favorite of my pepper spices came for my buddy Paul Makishi's Peruvian mother.
Every time he went to vistit her she made me four or five mason jars of this stuff...pura salsa verde...habaneros, lime, cliantro, garlic and salt...
THE PERFECT CONDIMENT!!!
Later,
Rick
