Hi there. Recently I got in touch with a pepper extract sauce (Spontaneous
Combustion) for the first time. And I remembered that I read on this list
that some think pepper extract sauces taste like burned cat. I gotta admit: I
know what you mean, although I never tasted a burned cat. Another interesting
observation is that this ugly taste ranges from very prominent to non-
existing, depending on what kind of food I put it on.
Which raises an interesting question: how do they make this stuff??? Filter
it through the ashes of a burned cat or what?? :-D
I mean, per definition this extract should be pure stuff and not contain
anything that is not present in real chiles. Any theories as to why and how
this happens?
Wolfgang.
