>>My question is this: is Blair's Sudden Death considered a very hot sauce
>>by connisuiers? And, what do you people do with this sauce, really?


    Sudden Death is damn hot.  A short primer on Blairs:
Many commercial Sauce companies follow a similer model of low heat, high
heat, pepper extract, silly heat.

Entry level -  Blairs Death Sauce
                        a lotta lime juice- this is my favorite general
purpose hot
            sauce. I use it in place of catsup and steak sauce.

Mid Range- Bairs After-Death Sauce
                        same basic sauce less more pepper per volume also
really
            good.

High end -   Blairs Sudden Death
                    enter the world of pepper extracts Pepper extract sauces
contain
            an amount of pepper extract. This is highly concentrated with
             capsicum the stuff that makes stuff hot. Blairs sudden death is
OK
            to taste. It is matched against Endorphin rush , and Daves
insanity.
            None of these taste too great on their own but do make good
            ingrediant for chili, salsa, and milkshakes. So to answer you
original
            question- Yeah, Its hot.

Stupid end- Blairs 2 A.M.
                    Yes there is somthing hotter. Blairs 2 A.M. is highly
refined
            pepper extract. It is an ingrediant only. When I purchased one
of these
            $28 little beauties I had to sign a release form (not a joke) to
release
            the store owner from liability. I also got a 10 minute lecture
about how
            dangerous the stuff is. It smells bad but a little bit mixed in
with a big
            pot of meat, chiles, onions, and some tomatoes makes a good hot
            chile.
            (BTW it does come in a really neat little glass bottle -  the
bottle itself
              looks scary with a little skull peaking out under the (platic)
wax cap)
