Don’t say Dr. Assburn’s Fire Roasted Habanero Pepper Sauce doesn’t try to warn you. It’s there, right in the name, on the cool vintage-style label. There’s a decent kick of heat here that builds and hits you from the mouth on down. But there’s more …
So the label of Dave’s Cool Cayenne Hot Sauce sort of says it all, with its laid-back chili pepper soaking in the sun. This is one cool Louisiana-style sauce – in attitude and flavor – with enough tang and heat to make it very addictive. …
The simplest way to describe Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Sauce is think Tabasco, but a little hotter plus a lot more flavor. This is a perfect Louisiana dasher sauce – the aged pepper mash shines boldly and the vinegar balance makes this one of …
Blair’s Mega Death Sauce is a sauce with very specific instructions on the label – which I whole-heartedly agree with: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITHOUT DILUTION. If you don’t wanna burn off your vocal chords and be angry at yourself for most of the day …
