I have been collecting hot sauces since about 1992, it all started when
someone gave us a case of Crazy Jerry's for a wedding present (I guess that
should say something about my love for heat: hmmm, I'll register for Lenox
china and hot sauce?). My pride and joy would be the bottle of Andy's Cajun
Spitfire (Snapple bottle, Very Fine juice lid) and my bottle of Suzys (which
had the same type of packaging at the time). My collection got as high as
about two hundred...I stopped collecting when my husband brought home a
bottle of Colon Cleanser.
When the names started getting too disgusting, I had to stop. But then
again, I started making my own and had to start collecting batches.
I also have a friend who was a touring musician, we traded obscure sauces for
awhile...
As far as peppers ruining the taste of everything? Cigarettes ruin the taste
of everything, peppers enlighten the flavor! I've always said, if it weren't
for heat, I would weigh nothing (since I can't eat without it!)
Be well, all,
