Thanks everyone for all the info you provided on Scorned Woman.
Mark, the Legend of the Scorned Woman was a kick to read; story to go
with the sauce. Suz, bless yo heart, I didn't know about Peppers in
Dewey Beach. Haven't been up Rehoboth way in a couple of years, but am
long overdue for a winter weekend beach trek. Will definitely check out
Peppers. Paul, thanks for all the urls;; I can browse for 'em for
Scorned Woman and more. Risa, appreciate the warning on
the heat. I will proceed with caution but try it I must. <grin> Hey,
thanks also for the warning re the little pequins -- I won't blithely
pop a whole one into my mouth to try them!
Someone in another post wondered whether there might be regional
differences in sauces. I am wondering along those lines about the
differences in heat. I mentioned earlier that the bottle of Ass Kickin
Cajun Hot Sauce I tried was not THAT hot whereas I liked but
had trouble with the heat in the El Yucateco Green Sauce. While
browsing sam mcgees, I see that the Ass Kickin is rated as Extremely Hot
and the El Yucateco Green as merely Hot. Nooooo, my bottle of EYGS is
not merely "hot." Do you think maybe a person's own personal chemistry
also comes into play, reacting differently to the ingredient combos in
various sauces??? I don't mean just the degree of built-up tolerance,
but personal chemical interactions. (course, mabee I just got two
bottles of sauce with peppers that werent' the norm, eh?)
BTW, how long can you safely keep opened bottles of sauces around? I
refrigerate mine, but do you have to?
