Re: Hot sauce hyper-hedonism!

Before I get into this further I just wanna let you know that I love finding out what stuff we all dig. While we all may have our differences we can at least find some pleasure in knowing that we're not truly opposite in what we love.
From emulation to oldskool preservation of videogaming and computing past to its recreation for the next generation right on down to sublime hot sauces and other sensory abuse/hedonism, how can anyone hold a grudge?
I can't. I'm a sucker for this stuff. I'll admit it. This is gluttony gone good. :-)

I've had Dave's and Blair's, but not the 'After Death' (at least, I don't recall having it). But that's been a good number of years ago, and I think my tummy isn't it's old cast iron self. Anymore those sauces are too hot to enjoy -imo.
The "Death" sauce is rather tame. It has a fantastic flavor. But the "After Death" is another beast in and of itself because it's fortified with capsicum extracts and ginseng. Then there's "Sudden Death" that raises the stakes even more.
I love the "Death" sauce: Heat and flavor. That's what makes me rave about a lot of my favorite hot sauces because it's not just about heat.
If it was just about heat I'd drink pint after pint of that dollar store hab sauce and dare others to do the same. ;-)
Blair's is good stuff. And their potato chips were briefly carried within a vending machine at work. They were pure awesome within a small bag! It was 85 cents so I couldn't call it a dimebag. *rimshot*

For now I'm working on a gallon jug of Tabasco Habeñero sauce, and I'm down to about half (since over a year ago, maybe 2). I keep refilling a smaller bottle with some I've poured into (here it is!) a sriracha bottle. The green twist cap fits nicely inside the top of the Tabasco bottle. I really like the flavor!
Oh wow! You're speaking my langwitch! ;-)
I used to buy Tabasco Habañero sauce by the case and give out bottles to heat-seeking friends. I haven't bought it in awhile and tended to buy it all direct from Tabasco. Like Marv and fine coats, that is a damn fine hot sauce!
It has a great balance of flavor and heat. If you look at the ingredients a neophyte may think, "Aww, that ain't nuthin'!" But it does pack some great habanero heat plus habanero flavor. The other ingredients help to balance it all out for a nice tropical flavor.
It's also very chunky! It's like Frank's RedHot but a bit thicker so it stays in place. But when your bottle runs dry you can't help but want to get those chunks within the bottle because it's all so good! It seems like quality hot sauces share that same thickness. It's as if it's telling ya, "Hey! I ain't no flash in the pan here!"
I dig your taste in hot sauces! Now I'll have to charge up my batteries and take pictures I have of my hot sauce collection I have behind the bar within my dungeon. At least I'll put my web server space to work in serving up the photos. :-)
BTW, have you heard of the "Quaker Steak & Lube"? ;-)

eta: Speaking of Dave's Insanity Sauce... ... It showed pictures of the people that were trying it, then pictures of them after they tried the teaspoon of sauce. Their faces were almost as red as this emoticon -I kid you not!
Yes, I've logged much experience with a bottle of Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce. It is all that! But it's the next day when the sauce has to exit the GI tract. That's when the fun truly begins!
I know this as true: I decided to make a very spicy tuna sandwich for myself back within my Subway daze. I reserved some drained tuna and then went home and mixed it with a packet of fat-free ranch dressing to compensate for the mayo. Then I added Dave's and mixed thoroughly and spread the hot'n'fishy concoction upon a footlong all-wheat roll and added all the veggies. The sub was then quartered and devoured.
It was a true Beast going down. I loved every moment of that. It was the next day that really killed me! Let's just say that you'll need to bring some reading material when you need to drop off your offering into the Porcelain Goddess. I recommend reading George Orwell's "1984". ;-)
