There was a time when I decided that I had eaten enough ramen in college that I never had to pop open a package of those dried noodles again. Then the Texas Winter Storm of 2021 hit, and I bought some ramen as emergency supplies which included a Tapatio flavored cup of the noodles. After trying those (more on that here), my opinion on ramen changed and I decided to put those back on the acceptable list. In the meantime, I noticed people going on...
According to Sontava! (the exclamation mark is part of the name), their products are not just sauces, but accents. And thick ones at that. They take pride in the fact that their sauces are made from just a handful of natural ingredients, and they should. This is definitely one of the better habanero sauces out there and one that I usually have at the ready in the pantry. The extra hot version of their habanero sauce contains fresh habanero...
Rustlin' Rob’s, located in Fredericksburg Texas, is Mecca for lovers of spicy foods, and they offer a wide variety of sauces, salsas, spices, rubs, and more (watch for an upcoming post about the store). They have more than just one sauce that I purchase every time I am in town, but out of all of them the Jolokia Hot Sauce counts as my favorite and try to always have a bottle in the cabinet. This sauce is a blend of all-natural ingredients that...
This twist on salsa is quite simple and pairs the heat and fruity flavor of the habanero with the cooling and freshness of the cucumber to give a nice alternative to your typical tomato-based version. Ingredients 1 Medium Cucumber or 2 Salad Cucumbers, Peeled and Diced 1/2 Medium Red Bell Pepper, Diced 1/3 Cup Red Onion, Diced 1 to 2 Habanero Chilis, Minced 1 to 2 Tablespoons Cilantro, Minced Juice of 1 Lime 1/2 to 1 Tablespoon Honey Pinch of...
The Habanero chili is one of the hotter peppers out there, but it is one that brings a lot of flavor with it as well. It has lost its mystique a bit with some of the other killer pods that currently get much of attention from chiliheads, but it still counts as a contender. I personally consider it my favorite chili (what, you don’t have a favorite chili?) and incorporate it into my cooking and sauces as much as possible. The Habanero comes in...
I have been seeing the Yellowbird brand condiments mentioned on a regular basis of late (Where? At r/HotSauce. Where do you spend your spare time?) and decided that it was time to try these out. They are referred to as condiments instead of sauces because of their thicker consistency, similar to ketchup. The flavors available, in order of heat level, are Jalapeno, Serrano, Blue Agave Sriracha, Habanero, and Ghost Pepper, and I decided to start...
Bottom Line: The flavor from the Paqui Haunted Ghost Chili Chips may seem rather one-dimensional at first, but they quickly become addictive and definitely deliver on the heat.
Paqui is an Austin-based company that makes flavored tortilla chips from “100% Real Ingredients” and they happen to specialize in spicy seasonings for their products. I stumbled across the Haunted Ghost Pepper chips in my local HEB and figured I had to see just how...
