When Chilli Sauce goes wrong !

[Moby-Dick]

My hot sauce order arrived yesterday and you can imagine how happy I was to be unwrapping bottles of Death Sauce, Possible Side Effects and Mr Naga.

My happiness was not for long - each of the Death bottles are shrinkwrapped with the trademark Skull Keyring on top. I took the shrinkwrap off , eager to make up a batch of chicken wings a la mort. I removed the wrapper and gave the bottle a good shake , as you would.

Disaster struck , I was suddenly aware of most of my kitchen being coated in chilli sauce. It wasn't the from the top of the bottle , as I had my thumb over it ( been caught out like that before ! ) There must have been a hairline crack in the bottom of the bottle which cleanly separated , covering my self and my kitchen in a fivers worth of Hot Sauce ! It even got into my shoes !

I was almost in tears , and not because any got near my eye ! all that remained was about a cap full in the neck of the bottle. I have photos on my house mates camera which I'll post when I get them , along with a sternly worded email to the place I got them from !

What if it was the postal company who decided to give it rough treatment? We've all heard the stories of Citylink

You should send the pics to "you've been flamed"



I apologise in advance for this

Edit: Thinking about it, it might be a good thing that this happened because you could have ended up with glass in your food.

It was royal fail , but there could have been a bit more care in the packaging used really.

they got ripped by RM too - the postage was about 9 quid - they could have spent less on a decent carrage company and more on some proper packaging. ( P&P was £6.50 )

Wow - good job you weren't naked!

I don't get why people want such hot sauces. Surely it can't be enjoyable to eat them and have your mouth burnt out?

So I put it to you, hot sauce fans, how can you enjoy them?

[Lee H]

give me that possible side effects sauce.

Like others have said - it's a good job you didn't eat it and end up with glass in your mouth or worse.

htid - everyones tolerances of hot foods are different and the use of chillies and hot stuff is well known to release the 'feel good' chemicals within the brain.

Dunno, just love hot sauce. Taste good to me. And really like wasabi as well, though the amount that i eat make people jump and cry

[mosherben]

lol! I am tempted to buy some to see just HOW hot it is now. You've intrigued me (maybe not on a carrot though)

[MadduckUK]

the carrot was a guess. the chips werent, i do that a lot

Some sauces are hotter than others.

Death Sauce isn't all that hot really , it weighs in at a pretty puny 30,000 scoville heat units so maybe 10 times hotter than tobassco - it does have a really good flavour , and there is a flavour.

By comparison , I also have a bottle of Dave's Insanity sauce which has much less of a flavor , more of a go straight to hot kinda thing, but a small amount in a batch of chilli makes it into something else - it also turns a boring old cheese toastie into the food of the gods. I wont even begin to talk about the effects of mixing it in with baked beans

My house mate also got a bottle of Jersey death , which is supposed to be hotter than possible side effects , which may be a little too warm for my personal taste - it gets a bit emotional.
