Posted before but not in this thread.
Really enjoyed the secret aardvark. Reminded me of the stuff i used to get when i lived in the caribean.
Still have a bottlle of the DaBomb stuff left, its spicy but not a huge fan of the flavor.
The spicy Potato chips and wine gums are just too addicting...
I am sure I have no idea how to make Hot sauce. However I do like a good Hot Sauce. Very Spicy...
You are a cheap date.
It was pretty darn close to real tabasco. Heat was a little higher, consistency was spot on. It lacked a little of the fruity taste which I think is because I didn't let it ferment for long enough.
The aardvark is your typical habanero sauce..
Which means it burns just right on the front of your tastebuds but it doesnt come back to mess up the rest of your day.
This means i put it on absolutely everything and then some.
Add another couple of bottles to your list cause youll be wanting a lot of it!
The Black Bean on steaks is my new fav.
Tonight I picked up a bottle of this after seeing it in this thread. I thought what the hell why not? I was sorely disappointed, barely gringo hot. So I fixed it up a bit by tossing two large fresh Habaneros into the food processor and making a puree that I then added to the bottle. That gave it a nice fruity kick. It made the bottle usable
Did you order from heatsupply.nl?
when i was making hot sauce, i used my food processor. i'd just do small pulse bursts until i got the ride consistency and not overshoot it (although that did happen with the first batch).
if you wanna keep some chunks in it, you can strain a bit of it to add back after running it through the processor
Nothing, I had been researching places for hot sauce procurement and these guys stood out with a good selection and decent prices. Seems I need to get most things I like from the Netherlands.Yes I did...
What gave it away?
i got some for xmas. it's good.
Only ordered from them once but delivery was fast and prices are good indeed.
And yes, we have plenty of stuff that will make your life better.
I should order some more Aardvark from them. Thanks for the reminder.

Are those Peruvian rocoto Chiles? I can get them down here pretty easily on Peruvian vegetable shops, and I make my own sauce by chopping them to little pieces and mixing them with chopped garlic, maghetta Italian chiles and extra virgin olive oil. Put them in a bottle and let them season for a week or two.
When in the spring I can grab Venezuelan ajíes dulces (sweet Chiles) pretty easily, so I throw a bunch into my recipe.
My grampa was Italian, he had an orchard in our backyard, and about 25% of its surface was allocated to several chile species. At 7 I started helping him to make his chile blends at the early autumn evenings. We would chop a couple buckets of fresh chiles, mash maybe 10 garlic heads and then stuff the mix into old wine bottles. The leftovers were promptly consumed with homemade bread and a bit of extra virgin olive oil.

Weird, most of the habanero chiles I've eaten were longer and slimmer...
I LOVE rocoto. Especially stuffed with sausage or meat, Arequipeño style...
those are pretty standard Habañeros (Scotch Bonnets) here in yank-land.

Can confirm, very tasty.
Nice. Wonder if I'm thinking of Delish. Can't recall. Lot of rum was involved and it was many years ago.
Received my Secret Aardvark starter kit consisting of Drunken Jerk, Drunken Garlic and Habanero sauce. I was really looking forward to the Drunken Garlic but ended up being fairly disappointed. It’s too heavy on the Soy sauce while being too light on the black beans and garlic for my tastes and ends up just very salty without being flavorful. I can whip up something more to my liking with ingredients from the Asian market.
The Drunken jerk I can definitely use as a marinade, but haven’t had enough opportunity to do so.
The Habanero sauce is great. Not very hot, but really fruity and tasty overall. The first bottle was already 1/3rd gone before the contents even had the chance to touch other food, so I will definitely be using this regularly.
Just noticed I can get Valentina and Cholula on Amazon over here. Does anyone have experience with Cholula Chipotle? My only reference point is Tabasco’s Chipotle sauce, which is alright but too acidic and thin for my liking, so it would be nice if the Cholula was different in those respects.

Cholula is what you would find in most no-name mexican and burger joints, alongside tabasco. Meh, not worth the expense IMHO.
better than regular cholula but there's probably better options if you're mail ordering.
Anyone tried a recipe like this one? Having dirt cheap peppers in the store, the temptation is strong...

Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce
This hot pepper sauce recipe is made with scotch bonnets, jalapeño peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, and sugar for the hottest chile sauce around.
My Brother took me to Colossal Taco in Buffalo. They had a hotsauce on the food that crushed my soul. They warned me that it was really hot. A couple of bites in. The owner recognized I was struggling to eat it. She nicely made me a another plate. My brother ate all his. He was sweating pretty badly.
