Gawd, I love you all. I had no idea there was anyone here hwo loved it as much as me. neato!
A few comments: First, if you can't procure too many sauces where you live, check out
http://www.mohotta.com. I'm sure they ship pretty much anywhere, and for their hot sauces, they show scoville ratings so you can get a good idea of just how hot they are.
For those of you who "just can't take it", work your way up. I know if youhave stomach problems, you might not be able to do that, but a little bit every day might do it. I used to be able to take a lot of hot sauce punishment, but have not had access to them recently. The last time I "hit the bottle" I was floored. My mouth hurt for a long time and my stomach complained for a day. I used to live on that stuff and had not so much as a burnin burp! Just work your way into it. But, if your stomach really can't take it, I am deeply sorry. Hot sauce adds another dimension to foods, IMO. If you have to pay for it for hours after, don't do it. It's a shame.
For those of you who like a certain flvor, but need more kick, just mix! I used to mix bland sauces that had no bite with a few drops of Daves and Yowza! I got the best of both worlds. No rules against that!
BTW: skinnymofo: i love that stuff. I know it has a proper name...but at our house we call it cock sauce. Hey, there's one on the label!!!! Sheesh! What were you thinking?
