Steve,

My brother brought me back a hot sauce from Africa (Malawi) a
few years ago - goes by the brand name NALI.  It claims to be
"Africa's hottest Peri-Peri sauce".  Pretty tasty, but
the thing I enjoy the most is some of the labelling.  The paper
that sealed the top on has three things written on it:

VERY HOT,
DYNAMITE, and
ABALE SAMALANI

Any idea what "abale samalani" means?

Then down on the label (amongst other things) is says "Friends
take care".  My interpretation on this is "if your chile-head
friend offers you some of this stuff .. on your own head be it" ;-)

Good luck with the moles,
Kris
