One of my buddies from The Hot Pepper forum (his screen name is bentalphanerd) has sent me my first homemade sauce that I have ever received from Australia. The sneaky bastard said he was sending me pepper seeds for my garden this year and I was bowled over when I saw one of his sauces [...]

It’s always a pleasure getting test sauces from industry hopefuls. Often they are way crafty and sometimes so inventive I’ll have to bust out the thesaurus just to find the words to describe them. Such a sauce always comes from Lynn “Devil Duck” Duck (no, I didn’t type Duck twice, his last name really is [...]

The Naga sauces keep rolling in and for heat lovers like me, this is the best thing that could ever happen. Scott from the Philippines just brewed up his own homemade hot sauce called Chili Scott’s Nuclear Naga Sauce and sent it to me for a small taste. It’s a very small bottle, but I’m [...]

Well, it’s been a while since we have had a request to do a homemade sauce review, so were pleased as punch to hear from Julie B. with an offer to try some of her pork green sauce that she makes which she sells to friends and family. A pork green sauce? That [...]

I got the pleasure of staying with Devil Duck (aka Lynn Duck) and his wife while I was in New Mexico after the Fiery Foods Show this year. Lynn grows his own peppers to make his blend of homemade hot sauces, Nuclear Scurvy and Barnacle Remover every year. I was able to trade him some [...]

I’ve had this little jar of goodness sitting on my shelf since ZestFest last year, and was gifted it to me in person by Chuk after he had the opportunity to wow lots of industry people with its flavor and prodigious heat. In fact, there is a pair of pictures from the post we [...]

I can’t remember a time that I’ve tasted any hot sauces not made in the Americas. Linda and I lived in Belgium for nearly one year, and the only way we were able to have hot sauce over there was to bring it over there ourselves…which is a real trick if you go through [...]

John Finlay is like butter…’cause he’s on a roll. With two homemade hot sauces done & reviewed by us, it seems like they are only getting better. I have already done the Triple Sevens and Big Sissy sauces, which were both well-made and quite tasty…so what was the chance that John might go [...]

Following on the heels of his Nuclear Scurvy hot sauce, I have been effort-ing to get the review of this other sauce from Lynn Duck (who’s quite the manly man, btw) done before the winter is over! I have been so inundated with stuff to taste and review that it is sometimes hard to [...]
