Yes most of us will eat anything we can get in our mouths. Just spice it up.

I personally, just try any hot sauce I find on the store shelves. If I like
it I will buy it again. If not, I will through it away. Flavor is the number
one criterion. Heat level is next. Price does not matter. Labels don't count
either. I have found sauces that I heard about on this list, and bought them
because of other chile heads recomendations. I have not been dissapointed
yet. There are a lot of bad sauces out there, and quite a few good ones. I
like a lot of heat, and that makes it harder to find a sauce with a good
flavor. I finally got my hands on a bottle of Melinda's XXXXtra Hot the
other day. I LIKE IT!!! And yes you can quote me on that.

I think it is a good topic, too.
