Hi gang! Who else likes Hot Sauce?

This being my first review I'll start off with a pleasent sauce that I've gotten into recently, (not hot sauces in general mind you but this one in particular).

Dave's Gourmet Ghost Pepper Sauce.

Ghost peppers, aka Naga or Bhut Jolokia peppers are rated around 1,000,000 scoville units. Standard Tobasco is rated at 2,500 to 5,000 scovilles for reference. So there's a steep uptick in heat. Even though the sauce is not rated at the full 1,000,000 (cursory research yields 90,000+ scoville depending on the source) this is not a beginner sauce.

I give Dave's Ghost Pepper Sauce a solid 5 out of 5 scovilles (yeah that's my rating system yo!) mostly due to its smooth flavor. It's not a vinegar based sauce which I really like so its base is vegetable oil and garlic paste by ingredient lable. The heat comes on in a nice smooth up swing. The heat is not very fast but it gets there and builds for quite a while. The after heat can be fairly strong too so keep that in mind, especially if you make the mistake of getting too much on your chops. I feel it's a great additive for things where garlic is normally employed (so it's excellent on pizza and spaghetti and meatballs etc), only take a few drops mixed in too to blow most people's jaws off.

Over all I highly recommend this sauce. The tag line is "So hot it's spooky" and they ain't lyin'.

I was at Tijuana Flats (Tex Mex place) today, wanted to buy a bottle of Endorphin Rush sauce. The girl at the register said I had to sign a waiver if I wanted to buy any of the top shelf. I was looking at the top shelf and noticed a very small bottle of sauce sittin next to much larger bottles. It was a bottle of Da Bomb The Final Answer sauce. A pepper extract sauce with the proud claim of a 1,500,000 rating. Shit, that's a lot of zeros for a Scoville scale. So I asked for the waiver, looked it over...

You will not sue the pants off of us due to this sauce, won't give to kids, won't be a dumbass. So I signed it WTF right? She goes to ring it up, this is a 2oz, TWO OUNCE bottle. She rings up to 39 bux.... hold on ma'am, lemme check something. Whip out my phone and it's going for 30+ some odd dollars everywhere online (if it's even in stock) plus shipping here and there. Damn man, if shits being sold for thaat much it gotta be legit. So I buy it cuz why the fuck not? Finally get it home. Holy shit, I need a while to collect my thoughts but a single drop was a rush I haven't felt in years. Amazing stuff. Will post a review later.
 
Sweet, I've always been a fan of spicy food. It'll be good to broaden my horizon besides banana hot sauce and Sriracha hot sauce. Looking forward to the reviews.
 
Have you ever tried a spicy hotwings challenge? If you can pallette things made with ghost chili. You have a crazy high tolerance haha. Although some sauces made with spicy peppers are sometimes super watered down. I've been disappointed with some sauces I've bought
 
Oh yeah, almost forgot a review of Da Bomb, oh well, it's still on the way and I'll do a nice three-fer write up and make a post on Mad Dog 357 (really good sauce but I won't review something I haven't gotten a full bottle of), Da Bomb since it's been too long coming, and standard Tabasco sauce just to get it outta the way.

Well most sauces will start with a base pepper (Habanero, Jalapeno, Scoth Bonnet etc.), and then they can do things to amp up to the desired heat. For instance, Da Bomb Final Answer first ingredient is Habaneros and it's by far stronger than any other Habanero based anything I've ever had, including actual Habaneros. The only answer is to try everything and remember what's over the top and what's not.

Odds are I'm just choir preaching now tho'.
 
Ok, so I have yet to get a bottle of Mad Dog BUT in the interim, a mini review,

Taco Bells new Diablo sauce, coming to a toilet near you!

It's very odd. It's like, every hot sauce is made of some % of spice and heat. Diablo sauce seems to have gotten this all outta whack, so the spices are very strong upfront, but the heat does not last. Sort of like Tex-Mex wasabi. It's not bad. Just odd. It is a bit hotter than their Fire Sauce. It does go well with their grub so it pairs well with food fit for dogs an stoners. 2/5 for heat, 3.5/5 for overall.....? I like it allright. I hope they keep it around since I hear it's a short time promotion. If they sell it in bottles instead of stealing packs at a time it's a decent recommendation for run of the mill folks.

It is definitely a really weird sauce. It hits the taste buds for all of like two seconds before it leaves behind a bit of a sweetness in my opinion. Not one of my favorite but it is a bit of a breath of fresh air. The sauce is common in Canada's tacos bell. Been here for quite a long time now lol.

I found the Diablo sauce to be weak in terms of spicy. But compared to their hot or fire sauce, it at least had some level of spice. I also went to Carls Jr and had their new Diablo Burger, it had a little kick to it and tasted fairly good for a fast food burger. But If I go to a taco truck, I'd get something spicier without even asking for spice haha. I still need to try Wendys ghost pepper chilli fries, although I doubt there is any real amount of ghost pepper in them.
 
Finally, as advertised, I picked up a bottle of Mad Dog 357, an advertised 357,000 scovilles hence the name. So review time!

This sauce is basically the crazy broad you pick up at the bar. Super sweet and nice when you meet her, then once you let her in to your life the insanity quickly builds until there is a lasting deluge of drama that encapsulates your head in whirlwinds of devastation and pain. Ok, seriously, the sauce sets in very sweet which is odd since its label states vinegar is the main ingredient, labeling also lists what appears to be cane sugar tho'. Once it sets in the heat hits you like a big rig with no brakes. Some how, the heat in this sauce sticks to your mouth and doesn't let go. Not gonna lie, half a tea spoon of MD357 on some hot dogs forced me to tap out with milk.

I love it, working up to make this sauce tolerable will take a good deal of effort and be quite rewarding. I'm fairly certain it will grow me a third testicle, if you're a wee bonny lass I'm sure it will pump you up two cup sizes.

Final Rating......... 17.65/10 Scovilles. Off the charts!
