Hi Gary. Seems to me you know more about Kingston Upon Hull than you let on.
Yes? But you are right about the 'emergency pack' I read so many accounts of
List Members taking their tiny Pepper Shakers (I thought you all American
(and Canadian) Guy's and Gal's did things bigger than that) with them to the
Hamburger Joint, that I took a leaf from their book and always take a large
pot of my home made 'Hab Sauce' with me wherever I go. It has saved me from
culinary disasters many times.
Must tell you this. Was invited to a BBQ. Took my Hab Sauce with me just in
case. A man sat watching me slap it all over the Chicken leg I was eating.
"Looks good" he said. So I said "would you like to try some?"  He said, "It
looks quite mild from your expression ".  I nodded and he helped himself
from my large pot. Oh dear. He took one bite and boy, off he shot, like a
rocket gasping for water.  Maybe I should have just took a small Pepper
Shaker filled with powdered Tepin. Must be a moral there somewhere. Hottest
regards to y'all. Walt. CH#2218. An old Chile-Head from the old country.

Immoderates. Never leave home without your emergency pack of Hot sauces! You
never know when a false alarm might set off the need for these spicy
saviours of capsaicin heaven. Let this be a warning to all of us! Yours in
heat, Private Gary, CH#2169, Hellfire brigade
