We had a big reception in the company I work in, and together with some bowls of different salsas and chips I presented Dave's Insanity in a small bowl together with toothpicks in another small bowl. I made big signs with "BE VERY CAREFUL!" and "QUARTER OF A DROP IS ENOUGH!". Off course lots of folks could not resist the temptation to take a toothpick, dip it in Dave's Insanity and taste. Many dipped half the toothpick (as they said: "Frankly, how hot can one or two drops be?"). Well - a lot of danes that day learned something about intense heat :-)
I have been asked by my publisher to participate the annual Copenhagen bookfair in November to promote my chile cookbook. I will make some big pots of mean chili con carne which people can taste and the publisher also loved the idea with toothpick's together with the "HOTTEST CHILE SAUCE IN THE WORLD". I also plan to steal Jim Campbell's "I tasted the bread"-badge idea. The publishers name is GAD and I have suggested that we make badges with "I tasted the chile sauce at GAD's".
When standing on a bookfair like this, I would like to have an apron with a big chile on it and maybe some other chile gadgets and posters. Any recommendation of places on the net to buy these chile things would be highly appreciated.
