Cambridge Chilli Co. Naga Napalm Onion Relish. Okay not a sauce but bloody tasty with a decent bite.
Encona BBQ Sauce - Free with my order (mentioned earlier). Nice and would make a good marinade.
Dave's Ghost Sauce - First time I have been nervous tasting a sauce. Most of you know this sauce so I'll say from my tiny sample....it's really hot. First 5 seconds have bags of flavour. I am writing this 20 minutes after sampling and my lips are still burning.

Dave's is indeed silly hot. There is some flavour in there, but it quickly gets replaced by pain from what I remember. Too much for me neat, I used to put a few drops in curries / stews / soups for an instant lift.
Got a few bottles of these as freebies - lovely flavour, not very spicy but gorgeous dolloped on pasta or in sandwiches like mayo.

I love this stuff, the mrs finds this one acceptable in shared dishes where my usual napalm sauce selections would ruin a dish for her.Got a few bottles of these as freebies - lovely flavour, not very spicy but gorgeous dolloped on pasta or in sandwiches like mayo.

Cambridge Chilli Farm Naga Napalm Onion Relish
Addicted to the stuff - just got two more jars as they only last me about a month each. I tend to use it in cheese & ham sandwiches (for work). Main problem is I tend to stick the spoon in my mouth post dollopping on the bread.eskidavies said:
Does what it say on the tin,lively and fruity nice lasting lip sting,£1 in morrisons.
I like it ,will be an everyday sauce,lobbed on everything.
Just liberally splashed some of that on a pasta salad with the remains of the bottle of Frank's Red Hot, split them up so I could tell the difference.I like it ,will be an everyday sauce,lobbed on everything.
It's got a bit more kick than the Frank's and nice flavour, heat dissipates quite quickly too. Will go down a treat at the BBQ tomorrow.
And to think a couple of months ago, i was struggling with a good dollop of sweet chilli sauce.
I have some Dr Burnonims Killer Million, which isnt a sauce, more an additive which a couple of drops makes a whole pan of Curry or Chilli very hot, any more makes it too hot for most.
My favourite is Siricha, hot enough for a kick but not stupidly hot, good garlic taste as well, can get it from Tampopu, for under four quid for a 750 ml bottle.

, lovely flavoured sauce with good kick and fantastic on a bacon/sausage sarnie.Some new arrivals from a friend coming back from vacation in the states. The two to the right are just typical hot sauces for me and the girllfriend to share,
However the Tropical Pepper ones are way more interesting. The Ghost Chilli one is hot and has a good kick at 500'000 Schoville Units, but not so much in flavour. However the Scorpion Chilli one at 780'000 Schoville Units is perfect for me. It has insane heat, of course but also incredible flavour, it livens up any dish it's added to, but is also so good on any grilled meat, fish or anything to give it a tasty kick!

Someone brought a tin of these to work the other day, they're lovely, but pretty serious stuff. Before long the head intensifies to a fairly hefty burn, but the flavour is great, as with all of the Hot Headz stuff. Highly recommended but not for the uninitiated! The really dusty ones at the bottom of the tin are especially delightful, in a masochistic way.

They look like a fantastic snack with a beer and a few VodkasIf you grow your own chilllies you can get them a lot hotter than the standard for that type. The way to do this is by not watering them much after the chilli has reached a fair size. This concentrates the heat in the the chilli when used.
So if you can easily eat a plump juicy Habanero from Tesco's this is not as good as the slightly wrinkled and dry looking one your neighbour or the bloke down the boot sale is selling, presumably with slightly watering eyes.
When buying hot chillies you definitely want to not seek out grade A. Seek out grade C and wear Marigolds..... trust a chilli to behave like that
Chilli's are actually hot as a means to spread the seed I recall reading. It puts off mammals from eating them, but birds are not affected by the heat so eat them and spread the seed. Apparently. Well, someone will put me right no doubt if not true!

I bought my Dad some of those for Christmas and he often takes them to work...Tried one myself and love them even though I would never usually eat peanuts!

Seen the who dares burns sauce in Asdas yesterday ,£3.98.
I saw the Who Dares Burns Second Assault in Asda yesterday, picked up a bottle and, seeing that the contents had settled, gave it a gentle shake.The bloody thing exploded.
I stood there for a couple of seconds in frank, slack-jawed disbelief, covered in broken glass and weapons-grade capsaicin concentrate.
The staff were incredibly helpful, but I don't think they quite grasped what they were dealing with - they helped me get the worst of it off my shirt, but the chap who helpfully took my shopping basked which was equally coated in the stuff then managed to get some of it in his eye. Whilst they then started to deal with this secondary emergency, and before they called in a hazmat team to clean the aisle, I decided to bid them farewell and go home to get changed. I swear I was getting an endorphin high just from the fumes in the car on the way home.
Needless to say, once changed, I went back to a different branch of Asda to pick up a couple of bottles. £3.98 is a bargain. Just never, ever, get any of it either in your eyes or on your clothes.
