The Source hot sauce
 

Has anybody used this hot sauce? If so was it worth the price?

Thanks

"The Source" - is that the name-brand? Can't say I know it. Is it a tobasco-based sauce? (Most hot sauces are.) Personally, I go w/a cayenne pepper base.

is this a heat sauce or a sauce that makes you break out in sweat.. I prefer a sause that is habanero based.. but if you like the gusto go for Dave's Insanity Sauce.. now on to your question.. I've never heard of the sauce in question so I can't really help you there sorry

I had to google it --

The Source, Hot Sauce

A few different places have it, priced from 79.99 to 99.99

billed as the hottest sauce around


Ok, so at 7.1 million scoville units -- based on the scoville scale

it's way hotter than a habernaro -

Pure Capsaicin measures 16,000,000 Scoville units.

reminds me of something I saw on the food network.. it was a hot sauce tasting contest or something. They had this hot sauce that would kill you if you took more than a pin head of it. in fact when you pulled the dropper out of the bottle you had to wear gloves and masks to shield you from the heat..that's going a little too crazy. I prefer spice and heat for taste..not for just plain heat

good stuff Mal thanks for lookin that up!! :D

I thought this was a thread about Benzino and Eminem, lol. (a lot of you probably won't get that :p ) lol

Source the magazine??

That, and Eminem's diss towards the magazine called The Sauce. But I don't want to highjack this thread, so no more talking about it! :lol:

Th Source is a Hot sauce that is said to be the hottest at 7.1 million scoville units. It is very spendy. I bought the next step down rated at 1.2 million scoville units and died for 10 minutes trying to kill the burn. habaneros are rated only 500,000 scoville units...

habaneros aren't that hot to me..but I like the flavor of them. Anything above that just seems pointless to me.. heat should be used to enhance flavor and spice..not to burn

A few jobs back, the person who had the office next to mine, was from Jamaica, and would go home every year for vacation. He'd always return with several jars of Scotch Bonnet Peppers.

Those things would make my head explode they were so hot... And I like spicey but those had too much fire in them...

I had those once.. they were pretty good..but like you said..just a little too much kick, weird how the habanero's are perfectly fine to me and the scotch bonnets I don't care much for

You can't ever go wrong with goold ole' Louisiana hot sauce. Way better than Tabasco. Can go on anything.

Good grief... I loooove hot sauce. Where I work we must have 15-20 kinds, and we use it on the pizza the company gets us on Wednesdays. I can take it pretty hot, but I like something that adds some flavor. This stuff just sounds like pure masochism. :eek:

The company is Original Juan. Big selection of stuff.

I don't think I would want a hot sauce who's only awards it has received consists of awards for packaging.

2003 Scovie Awards, won 3rd Place in Full Product/Product Packaging Category.

2003 Scovie Awards, won 1st Place in Flat Art/Best Super Hot Label Category.

2002 International Fiery Foods Show, won 3rd Place for Product Packaging, in Albuquerque, NM

Try it I bet you can't handle the heat.

Check out blair's 6 am sauce.

wouldn't want to. If it doesn't add to the flavor of the dish or it's just a sauce that tries to make you puke because it's so hot.. no thanks

A few years back, I tried Dave's Insanity Sauce.... two words: NEVER AGAIN!

That stuff kicked my ass... now I just stick to peperocinis.

-BD

Dave's isn't that bad... I use about 1/2-1cc when I make my knockoff of PF Chang's spicy chicken...
But as for Habanero's I don't know how anyone can describe any flavor that those things have. They're pure heat!!!

wow blairs 6 am stuff looks like its pure capsaicin that stuff is TOXIC, my dad worked with it in college! He said you have to wear masks and special clothes if you breathe in any of it you will die! If you get it on your skin it burns your skin man! Jeez why would anyone want that!

I had The Source once, it was ridiculously hot. I mean, really, really, really, hot, and I love hot foods. Don't even bother trying it. You can't taste anything for awhile after it.

However, I LOOOOOOOVE scotch bonnet peppers (and habanero peppers), I put them in my chili when I make it. :)

Louisana hot sauce is the best, not for the heat, but for the taste. Its great in White (Great Northern) Beans, on hushpuppies, saltine crackers, bologna, ANYTHING. Being from the south, we put this stuff on anything and everything.

I'm an old man now...Daves used to be well used between myself and daughter.
Now I take previced everyday. My mouth can still take the heat. I enjoy the buzz.
My asshole the next two days cannot. Can't find a bowl of ice water big enough to put my poor hemorrhoids in. I had some stuff like 6 am. One drop would bring death to a gallon of chilli. You had to wear gloves and cover your mouth as to not inhale the fumes. After 6 months this shit melted the eyedropper in the bottle! No shit!
The Source sounds just like it. Could turn it into a biological weapon and empty a football stadium in seconds.
Good thread I'm looking for extra hot but sweet in taste. Any suggestions I've tried a bunch but nothing really good. I made appricot jam and cooked with habaneros. That wasn't half bad..Went great on pork chops.
