What's in your refrigerator door right now?

[staffing]

You can tell alot about a chilihead by what he/she keeps in the door of the fridge.

Right now, I have 100% Pain (Original Juan) Toxic Waste, Endorphin Rush, Tobasco Habanero, Tortuga Scotch Bonnet, Hot Delight Scotch Bonnet (from Aruba), Hot Delight Pico de Papaya (ditto), Big S Farms TN Lightning and TN Mountain Green, Matouk's Flambeau Sauce, Lottie's Barbados Recipe Pepper Sauce, and Bello Pepper Sauce (Martinique)

As you can see, I like Caribbean style sauces. They tend to have a little more bang for the buck. Matouk's is really good.

I go through at least a bottle a week. What I use depends on whether I'm in the move for straight habanero/scotch bonnet mash (like Matouk's or the Hot Delight or 100% Pain) or want some seasonings added.

What's in your door?

I see somehting on my lowest shelf that is fuzzy and wrapped in tin foil. Perhaps if I wave at it, it will respond. :shock:

And I'm afraid it's only gotten worse since then.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

With the exception of cooking and grilling sauces, I don't keep most of my pepper sauces in the fridge.

Thanks for the link, Tina. Oh, and I will try some of yours and Kato's sauces. While I do collect sauces, I usually order double the amount so I can eat one and throw one on the shelf. I collect sauces that look like they taste good, or are small, local labels rather than the ones with cute names.

I'm going to show this list to my wife, so that she can see that I'm not the only one with 15-20 sauces open at any time. I don't know why I keep them in the fridge....they really don't last long enough once opened to spoil.

Sometimes I want a seasoned sauce. Sometimes I just want to taste the pepper. Sometimes I want a mustard-based, sometimes vinegar. One thing I like to do is slice up a habanero and put it in a cruett of olive oil for a week or two. Then I make chicken marsala with it. My wife loves it!!

I will check out your website in more detail in the near future (and Kato's). I look forward to trying some of your sauces.

Tell you're wife that you're really quite sane.

We have a group of customers/friends who meet every Tuesday night and pass around the hot stuff; called the spice boys, it's a challenge to see who can come up with the hottest, the most flavourful, the best label, the most interesting... yadda yadda yadda, I think it's gotten beyond the "how hot is it stage" and just become a fun thing to do for that group, but every single one of these people has a fridge full of sauces.

Tell your wife about my Oreos... sanitywise, by comparison, you'll shine. ;)

I've only started buying the hot sauces recently (my tolerance is getting better), but right now what we have is Frank's Red Hot and Tabasco Chipolte sauce. That last one has a really good smoky flavor, and I used it with a stuffed potato recipe I found on their website. REALLY good.

I just ordered the Joe Perry hot sauce collection to add to what we have here. I really like the Boneyard Brew, but I also wanted to try the Mango Peach.

I almost feel sorry enough for you to send you a free jar of our stuff... but I'd be afraid to really hurt you. :D

[DEFCON Creator]

C'mon Tina, grab the bottle of Zero from your daughter and make a smaller bottle out of it and send it on. Of course, save some for yourself so the sole hole in your tongue can have one or more companions.

LOL Most of our hot sauce tasting comes from our chileheads meetings once a month, so until my own tolerance is built up I'll keep the hotter stuff to our fearless leader of the group. :)

I almost forgot to mention that although our hot sauce is limited at the moment, my hubby has a lot of different curry powders and sauces that he likes to experiment with when he makes chicken curry. He's English, so he loves his Indian food. :)

Wow, everyone has all this great stuff in their refrigerators. Mine is full of fuzzy aluminum foil, former leafy vegetables that now resemble kimchi, venerably-aged muscle tissue from various mammals that I have trained to perform rudimentary movement, and various petrie dishes I have been creating for the formation of a capsaicin-based homunculous.

Defcon,
You unfortunately paint a very vivid image of a very scary refrigerator. :scared:

The fun part is watching my wife don the biosuit and yell out "I'M GOIN' IN!" when she has to change the baking soda box.

[LBTC]

Defcon you are truly an original -LOL

Oh please... what did you do with the sauces I sent you??? Did you eat them all already???

[DEFCON Creator]

The little dark ceature with the green eyes that lives in the crisper has them. I dare not open the drawer, he'll hurt my embryonic homunculus.
