Ouch! $10! First time I had it I used about 1/4 bottle on some good
chicken tacos at a nice little place in LA. Didn't know what habs were
then, loved the taste. I was dripping sweat when I left. Smilin, you
understand, but drippin! ;) I like the green myself. It's about $1.39
here in S. Calif.
We hire a lady to help with housekeeping who's a chile fan. She went to
Mexico for a few weeks and brought over a jar of Yucateco Salsa Mayakut
de Chile Habanero today. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks good. It's
a paste, not as green as the sauce. Habanero, vinegar, tomato (tomate)
and "sal yodatada". Haven't the faintest what the last item is--aha!
Iodized salt. Thanks, Atomica!
Interesting side note: Mary recently went to Germany and of course
brought back some foods, some great mustards. No nutrition or
ingredient type info on the labels, though, which we missed. The jar of
Yucateco on the other hand had US type nutrition info. In Spanish only.
Not intended for the US market. I wonder if it's just company policy,
or a requirement in Mexico? Cultural mixing?
She also gave us some dried de arbols, pullas, pequins, chipotles and
moritas. The chipotles and moritas smell great! I've never had
moritas, or pullas for that matter. Lookin forward to a great
concoction soon! Gotta work in the garden till sundown today, though,
so its gotta wait.
We gave her some Jim's Smoked Savina Powder and some of his Hab sauce.
Think that'll give her a nice kick! :)
Hot regards,
Riley
