Just looking at that has given me heartburn.  

A good thing for your day! Enjoy!

I happened upon this sauce at my grocery store and picked some up since I recognized it from this thread.
It's very good hot sauce!
We usually just use dried flakes from the garden when we want heat, which is at least half the time, but it's nice to have something with a vinegar zip too.

F Me In The Brain

What is it called?

I was talking about the Gringo Bandito.

F Me In The Brain

Ahhh, gotcha.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I try all kinds of pepper sauces and I am very fond of this one.

I made Tapas this weekend for the GF. Burrata salad, warm olives, artichoke and chicken salad, mozzarella, provolone, Brie, caper berries, raisins, pomegranate, fresh bread w olive oil drizzle, Genoa salami, pepperoni, coppa and wine by los vascos.

Nice board!

I didn't try all of them.  Put some of the original on my food last night and it was great.  Will open and roll out the next three this week.

It looks like they screwed up and didn't send you the yellow and doubled up on the Super Hot.

I'm a big fan of good ole rooster sauce.
Sriracha chili sauce is the most versatile in my book, it goes on anything.  It's not perfect for everything, but it works.
I am particular about the level of vinegar with many applications.
With eggs and garden fries, I want a very vinegar-forward hotsauce, but when I'm adding heat to chili, Mexican, or Italian...not so much.

Like I said, mostly we just use dried flakes from the garden, for cooking and table dressing, but those aren't appropriate for everything.  Usually I keep a jar of flakes in vinegar in the fridge, but I never bothered this year and haven't really missed it.

I noticed they doubled up when I was putting them in the fridge.  Damn.
Was a gift so I won't be getting the yellow.
Oh well.  I'm working on the third shelf in the fridge with friggin hot sauces I can't keep up!

Have you ever had secret aardvark?
This is the best one for eggs I have had yet.  Down to the end of my latest bottle, I will miss it.

Just looked them up.  They have socks!

Hahaha.  You and your socks.
It is not very high on the heat scale but it is absolutely delicious.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I spent my COVID-19 discretionary budget on two E-Books and Gigaton to finish a series I was in the middle of when the library shut down, so I probably won't get a chance to try that one.

I have been wanting to develop my own special egg sauce for a few years and just haven't put in the leg work to get it done.  Maybe now is the time.

I know ketchup is a dirty word to some folks around here, but the vinegar/sweet combo is great on eggs when you add piquancy, so my ideal scrambled egg sauce would be something like a hot ketchup.

I love ketchup.





Just never on a hot dog 😭
