La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for December 02, 2009

No, it’s not. I can drink it straight from the bottle. Spicy, yes, but not that spicy, especially when compared to a habanero sauce.

I like peppers and pepper sauce. I go for flavor, not heat necessarily. If it has flavor, I don’t care how hot it is. If it has none, like most of the hot wing junk, I don’t want it..

I tried a habanero pepper and its salsa once or twice a few years ago. Haven’t had that stuff again since. That stuff is picantísimo! But then when I watched a few spicy challenges on Travel Channel’s “Man v. Food”, there’s the ghost chili which is más picantísimo than the habanero!!!

El Yucateco Caribbean style and Jamaican Hellfire! Eggs will crack themselves to be scrambled with either one.

I once saw a sauce on sale on the Vegas Stripe called “See Jack Burn” with a picture of fire shooting from the seat of his pants. Needless to say, I declined to buy that particular product.

Habanero salsas si, otros no.
