The market had like 4 of their Sauces and I opted for the original. Killer flavor. Not tomato based like aardvark, not chili pepper based like a lot of taco Sauces, not grassy like super hots, not smokey like Chipotle or Adobo sauces... it tasted great, like a less chemical and more refined version of their packets. Heat level is 5/10

I went to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time today and the music was incredible! They were playing Stevie Wonder and it got me wondering, 'who is on aux?' Is it a corporate playlist, or is it individual employee music choice?

Anyway, had a great first experience! The chicken was gas as well. I'll be back.

Flavor was a solid 7.5 and spice level was an 8.9 for me.

Nothing record-breaking, but surprisingly hot for a grocery store offering.

I've yet to try any, minus the chili oil and 2x buldak🤔

Much creamier than I anticipated with a minor backend, some chili oil took it up to a preferred level. Some chopped celery, green onions, and parsley would be a great garnish

What is the spiciest simple syrup or cocktail / mocktail syrup discovered amongst the heat connoisseurs here? I am liking Portland Syrups 'Spicy Ginger' syrup a lot. I used to make my own by boiling sugar and water with a couple sliced habaneros and jalapeños but it was too much work to keep that up. I also tried the Strongwater Bonfire Bitters but I can't taste any heat out of that. I'd love any recommendations!

Just want to poll others, as nobody else in my life likes considerably spicy things.

When I eat Habenero peppers as an ingredient to anything (Haven't tried them whole yet), of course my mouth and throat burn up, but very specifically I get super lightheaded and get a massive headache that lasts for appx. 30 mins or so. I know I've tried sauces considered to be spicier than Habenero-based sauces and I don't recall having this kind of a reaction to it, but I could be wrong.

So, what's the verdict? Have any of you experienced something similar, or do I maybe have an allergy?

been experimenting with spicy things, since capsaicin binds to fat i thought frying bacon with thai chilies would be a good topping to buldak carbonara. maybe it’s for my munchie oriented palette but i really enjoyed it

Heat was like 7/10. I was casually able to munch on the level 5s.

Very good heat level between ghost reaper level delicious

Myself and two buddies are making hot sauces somewhat regularly. What fun name would you call a trio of 30s-40s guys who love making hot sauce?

So far, we have:

The hot, saucy, and sassy boys

The red hot chili poppers

Men of Heat

Cayenne cousins

I’m the one who posted about getting Melinda’s Trinidad scorpion sauce; the ghost pepper one is honestly just as hot for me!

ranked by how much i like them, not how spicy they are

1. sichuan/chongqing chili oil (dip, hotpot, soup dishes, etc)
2. liuzhou snail rice noodles
3. carne asada tacos with habanero salsa (cilantro, onion, flour taco, nothing else)
4. halal cart lamb over rice with red and green sauce
5. nigerian pepper soup, with lamb
6. lamb vindaloo, chutney and cilantro naan
7. jollof rice
8. spicy galbi tang
9. buffalo wild wings mango habanero sauce
10. nashville hot chicken sandwich
11. doro wat

It’s probably just the placebo effect but I feel the spice in me by just looking at your pics 😂

My problem is that every time I eat spice I get very hot and itchy. Maybe I‘m allergic if that is even possible, I don’t know eventually I‘ll have to check that. But, nonetheless, I‘d like to eat more spice and improve in that sense because I like the taste and don’t want to limit myself by trying new dishes.

Do you have any general recommendations?

Highly recommend the mo hotta mo betta. It’s my go to sauce right now for any kind of Mexican food, Tex mex, or California style burritos. Also really good in chili or on chicken or fish. It’s mighty close to a 10/10 for me in terms of flavor and heat.
