Hi Roger, Sauces are all individual to the person likings, heat tolerance and the food use. Some WWW stores give popularity ratings. My likings include: 1) Steaks: For my char broiled steaks, I like a mix of one part each of: Ralph's' Righteous Habanero Sauce, and Tipsy Steak Sauce made with Jack Daniel's Old No.7 2) Soups: Years ago I also used Tabasco sauce, but, due to its strong flavor, for me it had a narrow range of use. I like to add heat -- without altering the flavor of a good soup. Now, I use a diluted mix of PurCap. I have a small container/dispenser at work and take it to restaurants. I use it in almost all soups. Email me if you have an interest. 3) Solid Food (including steaks at times): Smoked Habanero flakes (coarse powder) yes, yes, ...yes! This is my "universal ingredient". The amount I put on varies a lot depending on my mood: from a very light dusting to a dark layer. On what you may ask? Steaks, pizza, spaghetti, chicken salad!, shrimps, vanilla ice cream, dips, casseroles, etc., etc. Andy.
