I was super shocked when I had it. I eat really spicy food and It’s freaking hot. It’s all business and no play.

I really like this dude, just an honest and fair opinion. Not those idi*t youtubers who claim to be spice experts. Thnx for the review and I'm gonna try to get some in the Netherlands!

My favorite store-bought hot sauce is the Chipotle Tabasco. That’s my ideal mix of heat and flavor.
@mendonesiac 6 ай бұрын
That's the best of the Tabasco line for sure

My mom used to punish me talking back with Tabasco. It’s still hot for me today. For Ed to call it “salty and not hot” blows my mind! But that’s the difference between my tolerance and his. 😅

its hot to me but too vinegarish for me to enjoy it.

Puckerbutt was my first proper hot sauce experience. Loved the Peach one and the Vodoo Death Black Mamba (if I remember correctly). Tried a lot but now I'm mostly tasting local hot sauca makers in the Philippines. I am also growing a few Reaper plants. Love it so much!

I have been eating and growing carolina reapers in my back yard for about 9 years. Nothing else is really spicy anymore. When I taste store bought hot sauce, all I taste is the vinegar and salt.

Calling Cholula "just salt" makes me never want to share a building with the hottest ones. This is like asking John Force whether your Mustang is fast or not.

Cholula is a great hot sauce. Great flavor profile with enough heat to give any dish a nice zing without over massively powering anything.

This guy is awesome! He actually created a hot pepper too!
@poser_disposer 15 күн бұрын
The straight reaper sauce he did was insane. My friends and I are pretty experienced with peppers, and that one is something else. Tasty, but is vicious on your body.

I can't wait to be able to grow some of my own Pepper X peppers eventually. Love my Carolina reapers.
@dylanzrim3635 9 ай бұрын
Current reapers are hard to raise. Pepper X would be “fun” at a rate of 1 in 10 that gets past seedling even with controlled conditions
@wilhelmscream6834 9 ай бұрын
@@dylanzrim3635 true. I had about 3 reapers in 10 seeds start. Once they started they took off though! Have about 2 half gallon jars full of them, then dehydrated about half a pint worth to smash up for powder to put in chilis and stuff. Not something to handle without gloves lol

"You can always get hotter, but you can never go backwards. Enjoy your sauce!", Smokin' Ed Currie. Just a baby to peppers, a little salsa on the chips needs 'a touch of heat'. Praise the Lord!
