Favorite spices

[Bass Babe]

Lewes, Delaware has some outlet stores, and one is ALL hot sauce. Heaven. I think it's called Chili Peppers or something like that. Not sure if they have a website. Of all the sauces I've gotten there, I'd suggest "a$$ in the tub" hot sauce. Although true to its name, it does have a good flavor while being wickedly hot. Not something many of the hotter sauces can boast. Stay away from "hot as $hit". It is, and it makes you drool buckets.

my favorite hot sauce comes in 2 styles.. a chunky garlic/pepper and a thinner straight up chili sauce. please pardon my bastardization of the name, but i think its called "Tong aut toi". I use it on everything.

daves insanity suace is right up there too.

I like a spicy chili washed down with Harpoon IPA.Think that's my meal before the MSBA show in Foxboro.I'm gonna stand next to Tattoo's booth unless he gives me a jointed darter.

I love hot food, but not to the point where you loose all flavor. A lot of the specialty hot sauces are just chemically mutated vinegars.

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

we talkin spices or hot sauce?

My favorite spice is chipolte. The ground dry kind. I add it to everything. Its gives a smoky bite to burgers and steaks and adds a little kick to barbecue rubs. I dont think its reall hot, but some people do. I just love the taste.
