Hot Sauce Lover in a Black Pepper World

HSB Readers – Welcome Linda, our newest reviewer, all the way from Canada!


Hello from just north of Toronto Ontario!

I am a mom of 2, grandmother of 5. My first foray into the world of hot food was wings, I suppose like many people. They were never hot enough.

Then one day my husband and I went into a new place and I orderd hot wings. “Are you sure” asked the waiter? “um, yeah….” “May I recommend mild to start?”

We settled on the medium and my husband sat, amused, and watched me struggle to eat the first one. I made it. And finished the order, although I think I had about 3 cokes too.

My family thinks I am adopted. My husband sighs when I order hot sauce online. The dog won’t eat my food.

My son and son-in-law have recently switched sides and are starting to agree with me though, NEEDS MORE HOT SAUCE!!!

It was 1990 before I found out why food always lacked something, to me. Now I have it figured out, blah food is blah.

I have over 100 hot sauces and similar items in my cupboard.

My favourite hot sauce is still Melinda’s 4***Reserve, love the flavour and the heat. It’s not full of spices or other ingredients. My friend Bill told me that the best part of a new bottle of hot sauce is to be savoured: opening it carefully and inhaling that habanero aroma! MMM!

Bill, I understand now.

Now I understand!

    Welcome, Linda. Being a father now, I often wonder if my father dowsed his food with pepper sauce knowing that no one would touch it.

    Nice shootin’ Linda! Keep up the hot work.

    Adam,

    Your father probably dowsed a few dishes. And probably ended up having to make an entire pot/meal just for himself so he could enjoy the spicy flavors. This is my plight and if it wasn’t for Nick here, I’d be in a far less hot state than I am.

    cooked with this sauce was awesome.
