I received a sample of "The Bread" in today's mail with A Happy New Year note on the bag containing this slice of heat heaven. I(correctly, for me, as it turns out)was conservative in my approach, taking a couple of small bites and waiting to see how it went. Well, the burn started slowly, but built up to a fine intensity that had real staying power. I was impressed, to say the least. I continued my experience by taking an occasional nibble as the heat diminished to bolster the burn. What a great way to start out the New Year! As someone who is primarily a hot sauce fanatic, I particularly enjoyed learning this new way to enjoy heat. It's a different sensation to experience the heat "dry". Thanks & a public endorsement of "The Bread" as a heat-lover's communion. --------------- Chris Callahan --------------- http://www.onesky.com/callahan ---------------
