Horror & Hot Sauce [002]

Today we delve into a few sauces; Neil's Real Deal - Smoked Onion & Grace's Very Hot Habanero. We're pairing that with Cocaine Werewolf and the all-timer, Tusk!

Cocaine Werewolf is... somethin'. It sure as hell isn't Cocaine Bear but it wasn't as bad as Cocaine Shark (same director). It sound weird saying all of that out loud but anyway. I've seen Tusk several times and for me, it's always awesome. The story tends to get harped on, and for decent reason, but for a gut-wrenching body horror, it's excellent. Hard not to love something Kevin Smith directs, especially with that cast and idea.

______________ Grace's Habanero is very basic and slightly bland. It's a poor man's tobasco, but with Habanero. It has fair heat and is more than fine to splash on misc foods in a pinch, but overall it has no depth and isn't pleasing to the palate. Enter Neil's Smoked Onion - This sauce is very addictive but essentially zero heat. It's one trend that drives me nuts about hot sauces post-Covid. Brands advertise sauces with Habs or Ghosts etc, but they put so little into the sauce that it would barely pass for mild. You sometimes still pay a premium price for 'hotter' sauces, too, when it's just a glorified (and significantly smaller bottle) BBQ/whatever sauce. Still, on nachos this sauce worked and I actually think this would SLAY on Indian or Thai food as well.
