It's been a while since we had a hot sauce update. The truth is, I was totally out of the game for a while, but I've begun to enjoy hot sauces again.
Not in the same way as before, though. I've calmed down quite a bit since those hazy, crazy days of rampant, sometimes dangerous, experimentation. I don't have a huge collection anymore. I don't order $100 worth of new, weird sauces every two weeks. I don't go for the craziest, scoville-drenched extract sauces anymore.
I just keep it simple, with a few favorite sauces at the ready for when it is appropriate to provide a little extra kick and flavor to whatever I'm having.
So, with that in mind, let's just take a look at what sauces we got around lately, and my thoughts about them.
SAUCE: Waha Wera Kiwi Habanero sauce
This is a most delightful sauce, with plenty of yummy fruit sweetness, and enough habanero kick to cut through and stand up to it. Perfect balance of all ingredients. Favorite use lately was actually on a hot dog! Took a dog, slathered one side with mustard, and the other with Waha Wera? Best hot dog I ever had!
SAUCE: Mango Meltdown X-Treme
Same idea as the Waha Wera, except with mango instead of kiwi. Just as perfect balance, a real winner. Favorite uses are pizza and chicken.
SAUCE: Habanero Sauce
(No image. I can't find the sauce because I don't remember who it's by or what it's called, cuz I think it just has a picture of a habanero pepper on the label, and "Habanero" written above it.
This is a highly-vinegar based sauce, and tastes just like a kicked-up Tabasco! Perfect for eggs, tacos... Anything!
This has been Ben's "Keepin' It Real" Hot Sauce update, where we're KEEPIN' IT REAL! Real
reasonable, as far as heat content and experimentation are concerned!
