I got a ghost pepper sauce from Melina somthing. Is good af. Put it on everything. Nice smoke flavor to it and not overwhelming
You generally have to order properly spicy shit online instead of in a US store. Like it's different concepts of spicy. I will say tho that ghost pepper chicken noodle campbell's made is something else. Eats like ur inflicting organ damage on yourself lol. Worst part happens at the toilet.
Fair, though I don't entirely agree - it all depends if I am buying a brand I am familiar with from the store (Puckerbutt typically). Trouble is, many places depend on extract (oil) to make their sauce hot since many of the ingredients are even a pasteurization process with destroy the heat. I typically refuse to buy a sauce that contains extract and I will never use it in my sauces - I depend on the pepper to speak for it with complimentary ingredients - if I need more heat, I will make fresh powder from whatever I have (typically reaper). I do add my own reaper mash to our gumbo, pho ga, barbacoa, and a few others and it is right up there with Puckerbutt's Gator, Reaper Squeezin's, to name a couple. haven't presented my Reaper Mash yet, I have one more bottle left (out of 5) I bottled 2 years ago - that I would rate at at least 1M SHU.
Interesting on the soup - try your ghost in [homemade] pho ga and it will be a whole new experience. I no longer have issues after eating superhots when it comes to the 'after party' hahaha
what online resources do you suggest?
I only think in ground red pepper versus jalapeno, versus habanero... skip some jews... then carolina reaper versus pepper x. I've never fucked around and found out w/ pepper x yet. I can tell you even a tiny half shake of the reaper in a bowl of chili has me sweating more than 8 full shakes of red pepper in the same bowl.
totally. when I mix a 1/4 cup of sauce in a bowl of wings I know the top of my head will look like the skin of a tent in a rainstorm - great feeling. I have only gotten as far as 3 sauces made with Pepper X and it is a great tasting pepper. Ed Curry has not yet, and may not release the seeds commercially, but if he does I know I will be growing them. Until then, I have had some success albeit not very much with growing Dragon's Breath which unofficially beat the reaper by about 500k SHU - I have two jars soaking right now, a little over a year age for both.
