Sauce so hot it required blogging about
Over the weekend I spied a rather ominous looking bottle of hot sauce in the supermarket with the words "insanity sauce" emblazoned across it's front. Picking it up I noticed the tag line "The original hottest sauce in the Universe" so of course, I simply had to own a bottle of "Dave's gourmet Insanity sauce".
Taking it home and making mention of it on twitter I decided that I couldn't wait to try it and therefore opened it up and dabbed a tiny spot of sauce onto my finger and promptly recoiled in horror and amazement as the flavour swept through my mouth with all the grace of a blunt and rusty chainsaw. Being the arse that I am, I invited Kathryn, my long suffering fiancée to taste this "delicious new sauce" I'd discovered too....she wont be having any more of it and I reckon I'm lucky not to have received some form of physical attack.
So as with all fearsome hot foods, a little later in the day, once the "nah, there's no way it was as hot as that" mentality had set it, I added a couple of drops to a sandwich. I was now ready to deliver my verdict on twitter.
Yes, it's hot....its very VERY hot, the bottle comes with a warning which if you have any sense, you will heed well. It's also worth noting that I love very hot food. I have a history of ordering very hot curries, making my very own special spicy meatballs with scotch bonnets and I always have a bottle of Habanero brand Tabasco in my house so that fact I'm now telling you to treat this stuff with a bit of respect should hopefully save you from destroying your mouth, throat and innards in one fell swoop. Of course, you should also do a twitter search for "insanity sauce" to gauge peoples real life and up to minute fear.
So even after reading over this blog post that I wrote last night, right now, just before I post it, the mentality is returning to me....nah, there's no way it's as hot as that....is it?
