    Aww that’s a shame, have any good suggestions as a conneseuir? At the store I was looking for something with ghost pepper (maybe that was me being a bit cocky) but I couldn’t find it and settled for this

      I apologize if I came across a bit pompous there. Vinegar sauces have their use, for sure, and I wish you well on your journey! I’m currently trying my hand at W. African and Middle Eastern spices, and highly recommend Hot Ones for podcast entertainment in the hot sauce realm. 🖖🏽

      Also, word to the wise, don’t joke around with SE Asian restaurants by asking for “non-white” Hot. It will ruin your next 3-5 days. 🥲

        Nah you didn’t don’t worry, and lmfao that’s hilarious, I remember my gf brought me to a SE asian place that she more or less grew up in and I was having trouble breathing

          Yeah, I may have a male relative of similar age that, while on a family vacation with a bunch of us (and after several years of marriage to a woman born & raised in SE Asia) nonchalantly asked that his lunch in impressively (judging by the waiter’s reaction) low/non-accented <native language> prepared at the “traditional” heat level… To his credit, he finished the dish. He didn’t leave their hotel room for days after that, though. 😵‍💫 Don’t bring white knuckles to a spice fight. 🔥

      Vinegar based sauces have their place, even Tabasco. Trial and error is the best way to find what you like. I really like yellow bird hot sauces. They’re much thicker than Tabasco and not vinegary.

          It’s so good! It’s a great balance of flavor and heat. The habanero is the only one I’ve tried and didn’t really care for, but I generally don’t like habanero flavored stuff anyways. I especially like the smokiness of their ghost pepper sauce.

            I do like the flavor, but I like a lot of hot sauce and it’s hard to manage with that one. Their jalapeno sauce is super good in like a breakfast bowl type sichiation, that serrano sauce is unbeatable with some breakfast tacos with some Irish butter on the tortilla. Try that out, your life will change

      Next year you’ll be posting about growing your own peppers and asking about recipes. I’ve seen this fall to the dark side too many times.

        Fun fact: not only do peppers take almost the exact same care and nutes as cannabis, they love growing alongside each other. (plus lavender, calendula, rosemary, alliums, etc.)
