Hot Sauces - Birthday Present

This array of hot sauces was given to me by Simon & Mel for my 32nd birthday.

Yes, the Total Insanity Sauce is in fact, very spicy.

    David,m you need to get out more. The thing about most hot sauces is they;re realy made as novelties and are just waaaay too hot for anyone from this planet to ever enjoy without searing a hole thorugh their mouth. If you'd rate Tobasco as "hot", which it is, I would not advise venturing into deeper waters.

    I had an anglo friend who was spending a year successfully acclamating his taste buds to hotter and hotter foods. The trouble was, as he said, that he needed the volume on all his foods turned up. As he got used to the spicier stuff, he needed all the rest of his food to be sweeter, tangier, etc. Nearly everything t asted more bland to him as time went on.

    Tabasco is nowhere near hot. Mildly spicy might cut it, but definitely not hot. As for tastebud subtlety, I've not any problems with that either, everyone is different, so I can only speak for myself, but I have no problem eating very spicy foods, and still appreciating very subtle flavours as well.

    I love "La CosteƱa" Sauce great in everything.
  • David de Groot said:
    It's quite tasty for sure. A bit mild if you're in the mood for spicy though.
