Cameron's suggestion should work, I have done similar experiments with
vinegar. However, my way is a little more fun for after thanksgiving, and
will be good for a good laugh or two. My way takes a very clean and dry (as
in run it through the dishwasher, then set it in the sun for a while)
wishbone, and dips it in vinegar. After a short time the wishbone becomes
very rubbery. I am not sure if this way will affect the flavor of our
beloved hot sauces, but I'm sure that not many of you would try my way out
on your best sauces first, anyway.

Hi C-H's,
Catching up with my email after the holiday I noticed a thread about
diminishing the flavor of vinegar in hot sauces. The simplest way to
do this would be to drop a piece of limestone (calcium and magnesium
carbonates) into the sauce bottle. It will slowly reduce the acidity
of the sauce by reacting with the vinegar.
I also noticed this rather dangerous suggestion:
>And drinking HCL is a very good remedy when you have trouble with stomach
>acid... but you have to dilute it first...
So to counteract excess hydrochloric acid in your stomach you drink
hydrochloric acid? I don't think so.
