any true hotsauce nut would need to know about blairs. he is the leading magician in the buisness. his is the hottest you can ever hope to get,, his 16,000,000 reserve is as hot as you could ever find. he makes all his own sauces and tries them, even though imo anyone who tried the 16 mil reserve is a flaming moron. I do like Da Bomb's line though. I found Blairs site and I have to say I've never seen a disclaimer on hot sauce. I'm a registered member now! I will say, when he opens the bottle, it makes my eyes burn and my nose run from 6' away.

This stuff is pretty dern good too. Earthy is right. There is a similar product made by a company in Jamaica called "Grace" The bottle looks like the one above and it is just called "Hot Pepper Sauce." Very hot, with a good flavor.

I like hot sauce on eggs too, and hash browns. The just seem to go down better. I've mixed hot sauce and A1 for my steak, gave it a nice kick.

OMG, I am making hot wings tonight with Frank's hot sauce. Why because Frank's has flavor and not just heat. It's a perfect blend. We are going to chow!!!!!! Yay! Wings and beer. :)

Chili Cook Off Judge #3 (Frank) was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL. Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted." Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI... Judge # 1 - A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 - Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - Holy $@#&!! What the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI.. Judge # 1 - Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2 - Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI... Judge # 1 - Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge # 2 - A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting $@#&faced from all the beer. CHILI # 4- BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC... Judge # 1 - Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 - Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-Lb woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5- LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... Judge # 1 - Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 - Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks. CHILI # 6- VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY... Judge # 1 - Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 - The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I $@#& on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my * with a snow cone. CHILI # 7- SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI... Judge # 1 - A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 - Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge # 3 - (Frank) - You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8- BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI.. Judge # 1 - The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 - This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili? Judge # 3 - (Frank) - No Report

Ok, I'm seeing lots of posts (ok a couple) about how bad the store-bought stuff is and how homemade is so much better. How about some recipes? I make bbq sauce and and stuff, refuse to buy it but I've never made hot sauce. I'd be interested in giving it a shot.

I don't really much use recipes for anything, as I've had a bakery and restaurant. I more dash, chunk, hurl it all in ... Stir it all in .. taste/adjust ... Here's a SUPER quick and easy/on~the~go and SO good, that I know the quantites of, as I chunk it all in a blender: Into a blender(I use organic): 1 lg can fire roasted tomatoes I can chipotle peppers in adobe sauce 1 head of peeled garlic 1 lg red, or other, onion 2 bunches clean, chopped cilantro fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice optional, according to YOUR palate Enough water to allow blender to puree it all up ... Stores forever in 'frig, but it won't last that long!!! Enjoy ... EDIT: Oh, and always salt to taste! I use an INCREDIBLE salt/herbal mix called "Herbamare" , from France, in good Health Shoppes ...
