Initial Thoughts: This is a first for me. That is trying a hot sauce from Down Island Traders. I am thinking that it should turn out to be one of my recent favorites. I have had one red scotch bonnet before in the form of Lottie’s Original Barbados and it was quite good containing flavor and heat. Scotch bonnets are often confused with the habanero, as they are closely related, but not cultivars. They are a pale yellow-green maturing to yellow, orange or red and have bell-shaped squashed-looking ribbed pods. Scotch bonnets have a somewhat smoky apple-cherry and tomato flavor (if you are able to discern a flavor under all of that fiery heat). Scotch bonnets are grown mostly in Jamaica and Belize. If Miss Hattie is as near as good as Lottie’s Original Barbados I will be satisified tonight.
Ingredients:Authentic Caribbean Seasonings, made with locally grown Scotch Bonnet Peppers and Papaya.
Visual:Miss Hattie comes dressed in a yellow label which includes some typical island decorum of fish, fruit, and some green plants. The bottle is 5 oz. in size. The bottle has a red cap with some nice white shapes on it. There is a black bandana holding the cap on. When I look at her past the label I see a very beautiful fiery red sauce with some pulp in it. There are seeds to which is a favorite of mine. The sauce appears to be soft and not thick nor thin. So far I am impressed with that I have observed.
Aroma: Well I go to pick Miss Hattie up. I always try to get a smell first. I take the black bandana off so I can remove the red Cap. I give the bottle a shake. I now remove the cap and I am very pleased to smell the Scotch Bonnets. They are so fresh and ripe. The papaya gives a nice sweet smelling odor. The smell is not overbearing at all but fairly pleasant. It is neither too strong nor too weak.
Application: So I decide that we will go out for pizza tonight. I know a great place nearby that makes the perfect pie. I put Miss Hattie’s onto the pizza and it really goes well with pizza. The red scotch bonnets cover the cheese so well that I am so ready for her now. I place my mouth over the slice and take a bite. The first bite is a nice suprise. Miss Hattie’s tastes so good with the combination of the crust and the tomato sauce and cheese. I am not sweatng but I can feel that there is some heat to this hot sauce. I mean any sauce with nice bonnets and papaya would sure to be hot in some way. I consumed the entire bottle on 6 slices.
Final Thoughts: Miss Hattie will provide you with a great addition to many types of dishes. This sauce has a great flavor. The papaya mixed in weakens the heat levels down making it not as hot as some other purer forms of the blended scotch bonnet that may be around on the market. It is all natural and comes in a nice decorated bottle. If you are looking to get a bottle I definitely recommend calling her distributor to get one because you definitely don’t want to miss out on Miss Hattie!! If you want a sauce that you can do alot of for flavor this is the one to have. It reminds me somewhat of Marie Sharp’s Belizean Heat or Fiery Hot but without the carrots.
Packaging 10/10

It sure is gonna sound funny if we all run around and say FAT KID SAUCES!! WOOHOOO at various times and people ask us where are they at? We tell them in our hearts and on the net! lol 
Ha I say all that and I forgot to say what I intended to post in the first place! ha Sure sounds like a good sauce and I like the ingredient list. Sometimes I wonder what exactly those spices are though? lol The sauce has a good look to it. I like it when I can see the peppers and stuff in the sauce. Good review GN!
Great review Goonie Nick !!!! Btw, THANK YOU for the cool cookbook, HSB’rs rock !!!
Very nice review Goonie.
Seeing as I was the jackass that drove you into hiding, let me just say again, I hope there’s no hard feelings as that was not my intent.
God forbid I stir up any sh*t on HSB, that just wouldn’t play here, now would it everyone? 
Yeah right.
Seriously, very well composed review. I have tried this sauce and I agree with your thoughts 100%.
You are an asset to HSB, keep on reviewing little buddy.

Huvvy,

Most of the time dealing with me with like getting buggered with the rough end of a pineapple though.

Ah schucks Kristi, I didn’t mean to make you tear up.
Just wanted to smooth things over with the Goonie.
He seems like a nice enough guy. It wouldn’t be cool for him to have a hate on for Uncle Big, we can’t have that dontchaknow.
