'Heads:
My SO, and fellow 'Head, and I ate at a quasi-Hispanic restaurant here
in town last nite... Not Chi-Chi's (THANK GODS!), but not like what can
be found in our Hispanic section in these environs.
The SO is the one that turned me into a 'Head about a year ago, and at
this restaurant they had a sauce he'd never seen before... I'm
wondering if anyone here has seen it/tried it?
Ittz El Yucateco, HOT SAUCE, Salsa Picante de Chile Habanero.
Ingredients: green habanero pepper, water, salt, garlic, spices,
aceticac, Yellow #5, Blue #1 (BRITEST GREEN you've ever seen! LOL!),
and 0.1% sodium benzoate as perservative.
Made in Mexico by Elaborado for Priamo J. Gamboa O., also located in
Mexico.
We had never eaten any type of green hab sauce - he can take some ripe
hab sauces, but I can't <g>! - as this is the first he'd ever seen. We
found it to be very delicious, medium warm - a nice, make-your-nose-run
warm - but not so warm as to kill the ol'buds! I really liked it!
Thought very flavorful.
We added it to the salsa that came with the chips - to the astonishment
of our server! LOL! Was WONDERFUL! Yum!
We purchased a bottle. However we don't know the price; there were two
separate item amounts on our bill - $2.25 and $1.95 - both of which we
feel to be way too inxpensive for a sauce...
Has anyone ever had this? Do you know where we can purchase more? How
much is it?
Oh! See there's a Web site: www.elyucateco.com!!! Will check it out.
Hope not entirely in Spanish as mine izz limited!
Thanks in advance for any help!
