Geek on the Hill
At least of the mass-market variety. There's a farmer's wife up here who makes some wicked hot sauce (a mix of habanero and ghost peppers), but only in season.
For the rest of the year, I have a really hard time finding hot sauce that's hot enough for my liking. Most "hot" sauces taste bland to me, so I wind up having to add some ghost pepper sauce to them to liven them up. Others are hot enough, but have no real flavor other than being hot.
I suppose I could make my own, which I ponder from time to time; but my brother, who's somewhat of an expert at it, tells me it's more difficult that it would seem to make a really good hot sauce.
Two days ago, however, I stumbled across Valentina's Extra Hot Picante Sauce at Wal-Mart, at $0.99 for a 12 oz. bottle. Hey, I may be a tightwad, but I'll gamble a buck.
Man, am I happy I did. It's flavorful (mainly picante with a hint of citrus), but hot enough that I don't need to adulterate it.
Better yet, it's dirt cheap! They have 34 oz. bottle for $2.99 at Wal-Mart. If it weren't 45 miles away, I seriously would have gone back today to pick up a dozen bottles before anyone else beat me to them.
Valentina's Extra Hot Picante Sauce. Highly recommended.
