Theres too many "extract enhanced" sauces out there now like Da Bomb that just taste like chemicals and spice. It's cheating in my book, make a hot sauce that blows my head off and tastes good.
If the marketing leads with the Scoville rating, that's usually a sign it's going to be shit. I used to be very into chillies, somehow I drifted away from it. But the Naga Jolokia sauce I had could ruin a pot with a few drops. Naturally I ate a teaspoon of it once, and can't say I recommend it.
Naga sauce in if itself is fine, I have a Naga and Peach one at the moment that's dope. They do kick in faster than other types of chilli though.
Yeah, I think this one was made with added capsaicin extract, it had that kind of black colour to it.
Yeah, it's like a black tar if you see it in its raw form.
I enjoy spicy food, but among Euro-Americans it isn't about the taste, it's a macho badass thing. You prove how much of a man you are by how many Scoville units you can consume. It's dumb.
I mean, not all of us do. Admittedly I tried the "World's Hottest Ramen" for a laugh once, but I I regularly cook with Carolina Reapers as I like the taste not to prove how big my balls are.
