enough wasabi on my sushi to clear my sinuses.
That kind of hot is deceptive! You add a little and think, "Mmm, that's mighty good! I'm going to add some more." And then on attempt #2 you're pinching your nose, crying, while the all the chefs get a good laugh.
Tonight, I dumped quite a bit of tobasco on spaghetti. It is my opinion that the stuff only works well on a couple of things, mostly pizza and spagheti. It tastes horrible on chicken for some reason, unless that chicken is liquid (eggs). Interestingly enough, the back of the bottle mentions that it also works on salads, which makes me very curious to know what kind of salad you dump hot sauce on!
The green tobasco helps the sauce cling to the wings just a little bit better.
Ahhh, so that's what the green stuff is good for. Their garlic one isn't bad, either, but I have no idea what it is useful for. It tastes a little too salty, though.
If any of you ever end up in Florida on vacation, you must try
Tijuana Flats for lunch. This little chain that exists in Tampa, Orlando, and elsewhere makes their own hot sauces, including the wonderful
Slap My Ass and Call Me Sally. Their "Hot Bar" allows you to sample from about a dozen different sauces, both locally produced and from outside vendors, ranging from sweet to the kind that makes your face turn red with delight.
I'm rather curious to know what it is that makes hot food so appealing. There is nothing like breaking out into a mild sweat from the food you are eating.
