Now that's a GREAT IDEA. I think I tried Da' Bomb a couple years ago
when I was judging hot sauces at the Pig 'n Pepper, and it didn't seem
too hot right away, and I tried more on a taco chip or two.
As those of you that have tried THE BREAD know, sometimes there's a
delayed effect, designed to catch the unwary I'm sure. Well, it caught
me. I turned a bit pink, and yogurt didn't really help much. I'm more
careful now.
Aside from that, being able to judge the taste first, and then the heat
would be a "good thing" when judging hot sauces at events like the
Pig 'n Pepper. I'll have to suggest it, or bring along some tubs of
cream cheese the next time I judge.
