[CH] Possibly the hottest sauce ever...

I haven't referred to myself as a 'head' (but for a short period of time between
9th and 10th grades), but have had much enjoyment from the chile-heads (in
convenient digest version) for about a month now....being an internet consumer
type, I've purchased peppers from CCN (18 plants, 17 different kinds and all
beauties!), browsed all through the 'ring of fire,' requested information on
being a 'card carrying member,' and just today, in my PO Box, received a bottle
of the highly recommended Campbell Fiery Hot Habanero Sauce. Very tasty, with a
pleasant amount of 'wang!' Never one to avoid a challenge, I also bit on the
"Backdraft."
Its been about 20 minutes since I had a taste, the tears are mostly gone, but
there is still a slight buzzing in my head....I don't expect any sinus problems
for months, maybe years.....truthfully in my present day mind 'the hottest.' My
prior choice for this honor was Robert Rothschild Raspberry Thunder Sauce, which
is my 'standard' steak or lamb chop sauce of choice...I've tried many, many
types, and find things often too salty, too full of 'fruity' flavors, all
vinegar and minimal pepper, and generally not nearly as hot as promised, etc.,
etc. (I also rated the Inner Beauty Real Hot Sauce high on the list, preferring
it with pork or poultry products...). I have not tried Tabasco Habanero, have
not seen it in this locality (greater central Ohio), but plan to order some
soon, from their website, of course....
Thanks, Jim, for the experience....I think I'll keep this around for those
occasional unwelcome visitors, ex spouses, or the like......
