I am looking for a local (Central U.S.) vendor for a sauce my daughter
brought back from Costa Rica. The brand is TIZONCITO and the name is CHILERO
(de Chile Cayenne). I do not believe this product is made from what we call
cayenne. It has the wonderful fire and flavor of hab or scotch bonnet, dull
brick red in color and thicker than Tabasco. I have nursed this bottle for
almost a year and I am in the danger zone. Hope someone can help.
Also, I recently ran into a product in San Antonio (quick stop type store)
that was in with the snack foods. A plastic envelope with about a dozen
plums. The label said SALTED PLUMS. I will try anything once, so I grabbed a
package and dispensed them to the family. They agreed with the label about
the salted part. My guess is these plums are packed in salt for about a year
prior to packaging. Our question is: How are these used and what
culture/cuisine would use them?
Looking forward to info for I am
