Hot Sauce Review: Smoky Mountain Punch by Villain Sauce Co.

by

Smoky Mountain Punch by Villain Sauce Co. from Brantford, Ontario. Wow!

Back when I was working in Toronto, I used to listen to Kim Mitchell’s radio show on Q107. He had this segment called “Damn I wish I wrote that! Where he would play songs that he wish he wrote.

Well, this is my “Damn I wish I made that” segment because damn I wish I made this sauce!

Smoky, spicy, flavourful, the whole 9 yards. Smoky Mountain Punch by Villain Sauce Co. is a great-tasting hot sauce made with many different types of peppers. Also, this is the first hot sauce I’ve tried that includes smoke flavour as an ingredient.

How to Germinate Hot Pepper Seeds

by

Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and breaks the surface of soil or compost in preparation for rooting. Successful germination of your seeds will lead to a strong healthy pepper plant if well taken care of.

Different seeds take different amounts of time to germinate. Some seeds need to be kept dry and cool. Others need warm soil, a greenhouse, or even a hot compost pile.

Here is how you germinate your hot pepper seeds.

Steve-O’s Hot Sauce For Your Butthole Review

by

Being a fan, I had to try Steve-O’s Hot Sauce For Your Butthole. I’ve seen Steve-O do some pretty wild stuff on TV so my guess was his hot sauce was going to be HOT! Hot Sauce For Your Butthole is the less intense brother of Steve-O’s Butthole Destroyer Hot Sauce. Even still, this hot …

What Is Oleoresin Capsicum And Why Is It In Hot Sauce?

by

Oleoresin capsicum sounds spicy right? Capsicum is pretty similar to Capsaicin so they must be related? If you were thinking either of those questions you’d be right.

So what is Oleoresin Capsicum?

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is an oily extract that comes from pepper plants. The plants are finely ground and OC is formed using an organic ethanol extraction process. Oleoresin Capsicum is used in both cooking applications and as an ingredient in pepper spray.

A Review Of Stargazer, A Hot Sauce From Pepper North

by

Stargazer, you are crazy!

Stargazer will have you looking up to the skies like the character on the bottle. It is very hot, mostly due to the reaper powder and the super-hot pepper mash. When I tried this one I was sweating almost instantly.

I’m not usually a fan of sriracha-style sauces or sauces that are pushing a 9 or 10 on heat level. I usually find they taste a little unnatural. Stargazer from Pepper North tastes fresh and real just like the rest of their hot sauces.

However, I did find the reaper powder produced an unnatural heat and made this sauce taste a little bit like those novelty “so hot you’ll burn your face off” sauces. Not too much, but a little bit.

No Joke By Pepper North Is No Laughing Matter

by

They say everything in life is relative, which is perhaps why I originally thought No Joke from Pepper North was in fact a joke. I had just tasted tested several super hot sauces and then tested out this mild hot sauce.

Thankfully, I decided to wait a little bit and try it out again. Am I ever glad I did that!

I found out that No Joke adds a nice burst of heat and flavour to your meal.

Spice Of Life Made From Scotch: A Hot Sauce Review

by

Spice of Life’s Made From Scotch is a vibrantly fresh and spicy hot sauce. Made with Scotch Bonnets, Cucumber and spices, this hot sauce will leave you sweating but also tastes great.

Made From Scotch is made with real fresh and local ingredients and one look at the hot sauce reveals that. You can see chunks of peppers, cucumbers and onions floating around. All of the tropical flavour bursts out of the fresh ingredients when enjoying Made From Scotch.

Try this one if you love hot sauces that focus on the flavours of the hot peppers.

Mojo Chocolate Habanero with Black Garlic Hot Sauce Review

by

I feel like all of the hot sauces I’ve been trying lately have been awesome. The same goes for Chocolate Habanero with Black Garlic by Mojo Peppa Sauces. This hot sauce has a ton of flavour and a ton of heat!

Mojo Music is a company in Oakville, Ontario that makes hot sauce and sells music gear. They are the only online store I know of that will ship bottles of hot sauce and a guitar pedal at the same time.

Like most of the guitar gear they sell, their Chocolate Habanero with Black Garlic hot sauce was rockin!

Hot Sauce Review: Supernova Original Hot (Fancy Frank’s)

by

Supernova Original hot sauce is about as basic as it gets without becoming Franks Red Hot. Hot peppers, vinegar, garlic, and salt are the main ingredients in this hot sauce. With a minimal lineup like that, you can’t expect too much flavour. However, Original Hot definitely gets the job done.
