OK
I have about 400 in my little collection, and that is a long way from
the largest I collection
that I have personally seen.
Heat ratings are non-linear and somewhat personal in nature.
on my scale 0 - 10
0 is a green bell - no heat at all
Blairs 2 AM is a maxed out 10 and pure cap is off scale.
(Yes I have directly tasted "Pure Cap", and the small amount that
I could collect on a tooth pick, and touched to my tongue, was
brutal and made my tongue hurt for about an hour.)
Tabasco 2 - sharp, vinegary flavor, great on mustard greens or kale.
Tabasco Jalapeno - 1.5, milder than the regular, but has a nice
flavor,
we ( wife, me and our 15 year old daughter) all enjoy this one
it is a good table sauce, it goes well on eggs and pasta
Red Devil - <1 - great mild sauce, (Red Devil, Franks, Durkee Red)
it has a nice flavor, not too sour or vinegary, good starting
point for wing sauce, and I use it to inject into poultry
before grilling or smoking. I buy it in gallon jugs for
as the base for my own hot sauces, 4 - 1 gallon jugs for $13.00
I Don't know how they can sell it ( or make it ) that cheap.
Louisiana Perfect - unknown in this area - not in my collection
I do have Louisiana Sunshine - it is somewhere between Crystal
and "dollar store" hot sauce. Crystal being a good 1 and the other
somewhat less than 1.
No Joke again - I have not seen it -
(Not a common one, but not on FG's page)
Peppers in Dewey Beach (maybe Rehobeth Beach now) has a good web site
and a good catalog
check it out - I buy a great many sauces there every summer.
