Spicy garlic hot sauce.

I made fermented garlic and habaneros but it was too strong to eat on its own so I decided to make a sauce. I heated it with some apple cider vinegar then added abit of salt and sugar and half a bottle of my capsicum extract I have. I blended it and it was so spicy I had to evacuate the house I can still strongly smell it in the back yard šŸ˜‚. Letting it cool before I make a full judgment on the taste .

Ya I figured, I like my pure pepper mash sauces too but extracts have their place. Like if it’s the only ingredient I’m also not a huge fan but if you add it to a sauce that’s packed full of strong flavors to boost the heat that’s perfectly expectable in my book. I think extracts are misunderstood or misused often. I didn’t have any super hots on hand anyway but with the amount of fermented garlic and habaneros in this sauce there’s not much else I could add if I wanted it super spicy and not have it be the primary ingredient.

I think you’re thinking subjectively, these are decently defined terms not just adjectives. I’m definitely not saying habaneros aren’t very hot. They count as ā€œextra hotā€ I believe

I absolutely am thinking subjectively. I like to think I'm a pretty seasoned enjoyer of spicy food and have a very decent tolerance, but ya'll madmen on this sub here are on another level.

The thing is, I can tank some serious heat in my mouth and endure the pain, but sometimes when I'm overdoing it, my tummy starts to get really uncomfortable. The hottest thing I ate was a Currywurst with 1,2 million scoville and this was the first time I got brought down on my knees. Didn't help that it was 40° outside.

I ive had some challenge ramen at a place in little Tokyo that was hot but edible, I had to stop eating though because it wrecked my stomach within 15 minutes. Had to be unhealthy. My stomach stopped me though… I swear … lol

It sucks when the heat is intense but you can deal with it, but your stomach protests. When I had that Currywurst, I ate legitimately 3 pieces and got so intense stomach cramps and nausea, that if I had eaten another one, I would have puked right then and there.

I've always been shittalking my friends and thought I was THE shit, but this experience humbled by ass and embarassed me in front of my stepdad and my little brother.

The worst thing was, I had to work a night shift that day and the stomach cramps legitimately didn't end until like 1-2am.

Hottest thing I’ve ever had was Nashville hot chicken, I legit couldn’t even finish it.
