Favorite Brand of Hot Sauce...

Re: Favorite Brand of Hot Sauce...

They used to be the hottest until a year or two ago and this ghost chile was discovered. Apparently it is the hottest edible food on the planet.

I though Habenero were the hottest. I have some dried that I grew and they'll take your freakin head off. If Ghost chiles are 75 times hotter, wow

How do people determine how many times hotter one pepper is over another??
 
Re: Favorite Brand of Hot Sauce...

Ive seen a few "sauces" that are supposedly pure capsaicin. Always a waiver to be signed when you buy them. They are supposed to be for heating large amounts of something. Like make a ginormous vat of chilli and put one drop of this stuff in there. I havent really looked into them to much but Id have to believe that they are diluted somehow or else it would cause way to severe a reaction if you accidentaly had to much.

Apparently farmers use the ghost peppers to keep elephants at bay...crazy.

The heat of habaneros also depends on color-I'm not quite sure but red was considered the hottest with orange, white and green slightly less so. My other half here-JennyRN-can never seem to taste or feel the hottest of peppers. She can munch on a red habanero with no problem-I wonder if that would be so with the Ghost Pepper?

SHe can't feel the heat of a habanero? thats bizarre
 
Re: Favorite Brand of Hot Sauce...

The red savina, mostly called red habaneros, are the hotter ones, yes. The ghost is roughly double it, according to all of the scoville scales I have seen.

It just doesn't sound appetizing to me whatsoever. At that point it is merely about thumping your chest instead of flavor.

The following is a sauce that is 99% habanero paste, and the remaining one percent is the salt and vinegar.

Yes, it's *ing hot. I dipped a chip in it, and ended up chugging milk and eating a couple spoonfuls of sugar (yes, that works) to cool myself down. A buddy wasn't so lucky. He scooped a chip in it. Got sick on the deck outside at his place. The vomit actually took away the stain on the deck. :eek:

I thought the super-hot sauces generally came with brushes like white-out so you could apply very small amounts of them.

Really? Haven't heard of that. When the guy bought the bottle, he was warned about it, being told that a capful would make a gallon of chili hot enough to make you teary-eyed.

Yes, he was trying to be a bigshot I guess. His wife told him to do. She said that the habernero was the hottest. I think ghost chiles are 75 times hotter than those.

I looked up the geographic tongue thing and it does say it is caused from eating got peppers and its a type of allergic reaction. It prevents you from being able to taste food fully for about 2-4 weeks.

Anyone that does something this stupid deserves all the pain. I only challenged him to take a small bite. The darn thing is only the size of a grape.

I was curious, so I did a search on it:

Once you get to that level it really doesn't matter if it's 2X or 75X as hot as a habanero, ya know? But I read in National Geographic a couple years back, there was nothing hotter than a habanero so I did a search on ghost chiles:

Billy is indeed correct. In fact, scientists are planning on making a kind of "ghost chile grenade" as a nonlethal riot control weapon. Wow. :eek:
 
Re: Favorite Brand of Hot Sauce...

I was actually wrong (even though I didn't know it). There is another pepper in the same family as the Ghost that was just discovered. It is called the Naga Morich and it registers at over 1.5 million scovilles.

What's this Malaysian chili sauce? I'm interested in it...

It's a tomato based chili sauce with garlic and ginger. But it's sweet, not vinegary like sambal. It looks and flows like ketchup - maybe a brighter shade of red - and usually comes in a bottle shaped just like a ketchup bottle. It's just called "Sos Cili" (Malay for chili sauce) although sometimes I've seen them spell it chili. You can't sit down to a meal in Malaysia without a bottle on the table.

Maggi is one of the manufacturers, but there are plenty of others. You should be able to find it at a decent Asian food store or a big supermarket with a good foreign foods department, like Wegman's.

Thanks! I don't remember it off the top of my head when I was over there, but that was seven years ago. I'll have to look for it.
