Would anyone be interested in these? (Paqui Ghost Pepper Chips)

So I never got to eat these because I developed chronic gi issues and I've accepted that I have to live with this now and won't get to eat them. Also the "best by" date is 05/06/2024, so they're expired by over two years. Would anyone want these? I might put them on eBay or something

Edit: I posted them on eBay for bid, here's the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/298337699795?itmmeta=01KS46X94QKGW3QPC43WMWP3MQ&hash=item45765007d3:g:8m0AAeSwFU1qDmwQ

Also these chips are most likely stale, but apparently stale chips can be revived by heating them and removing the moisture, making them crispy again. I've never tried it but if you're worried about staleness but want these chips this is a potential solution

Made a mildly spicy pizza

The pizza sauce is bangin. Obviously I used that as the pizza sauce. Marinated the chicken in the honey habanero glaze and loaded the pizza up after topping with mozzarella and buttery garlic

Anyone tried this? Way hotter than expected

I didn’t pick up much garlic but it was enjoyable nonetheless

Very good chocolate, mild but nice spice

Also much lower sodium than my last post haha. I'd definitely get it again, I wish it was spicier but the flavor overall is still really nice.

Insanely Spicy snack ideas for B-day

It's my B-day at the end of the month, and my family is asking me what i'd like, and only now did i remember that i've been wanting some new spicy snacks, but the problem is my tolerance is really high, stuff like Takis taste good but aren't nearly spicy enough. To give a good idea of my tolerance, i've done the 2024 one chip challenge and it was hot sure but it didn't really get a reaction out of me, other than some repercussions from eating it on an empty stomach. i know about the "Hot Monkey Nuts: Black Widow Bites" and i've already told my family about it, but i need some more ideas.

Where to start? Recipe suggestions!

I made friends with a local farmer's market vender and as we were talking she mentioned that she had some dried (freeze dried maybe) peppers. She shared some sugar rush peach, hot peppers, and gold habaneros. My ultimate goal is to make a fruit forward, hot sauce, preferably in small batches as I experiment. To that goal I had a few questions:

  1. Should I rehydrate them or grind them before using them?
  2. Does anyone have any good, simple recopies or approaches to building a hot sauce, dependent on approach (rehydrated vs ground)?

Thanks so much for all the wisdom!

After 20 Years Of Trial And Error, I Accidentally Created A Garlic Sauce That Ruined Store-Bought Sauce For Me

First off, first time posting something here. yay me :D

I didn’t set out to make some “secret sauce.”
I just kept tweaking garlic sauce over and over for almost 20 years because every store-bought version tasted weak, sweet, watery, or just… sad.

At this point the recipe barely exists on paper because it evolved entirely on instinct.
No measurements. No structure. Just “use feeling.”

But the current version has become an absolute monster.

The Base

  • Full-fat mayo
  • Fresh crushed raw garlic
  • Lemon juice

That was the original foundation years ago.

Then things escalated.

The Evolution

Over time I started layering different kinds of garlic flavor:

  • raw garlic for sharpness
  • fried garlic for depth
  • chili garlic oil pastes for richness

The current version uses:

  • a Thai-style smooth ground chili & garlic paste in oil
  • Japanese furikake/nori seasoning
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • oregano
  • fried garlic elements
  • enough garlic to legally concern nearby countries

The weird ingredient that changed everything was actually the seaweed/furikake.

Tiny bit of marine umami + MSG + mayo somehow makes the whole sauce taste deeper and more addictive without tasting “fishy” at all.

The Problem

Now normal garlic sauce tastes broken to me.

Most store-bought sauces suddenly taste:

  • too sweet
  • too thin
  • bland
  • one-dimensional
  • afraid of garlic

Meanwhile this thing tastes like it was engineered by an exhausted line cook with anger issues.

The Funny Part

I still cannot give exact measurements.

Every batch is:

  • taste
  • adjust
  • regret
  • more garlic
  • taste again
  • accidentally create chemical warfare
  • perfect

Sometimes it becomes a little too aggressive.
Then the mayo goes up.
Then the garlic goes up again because weakness disgusts me.

Balance is temporary. Garlic is eternal.

Current Experiments

I’m considering introducing spicy Korean Buldak sauce into the system next.

This may either:

  1. elevate the sauce further
  2. end civilization

Will report back if I survive.

So tell me, are you going to try and create this bowl of horrors?

Southern Heat Pickled Quail Eggs — Perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and a serious kick! 🔥🥚

Just finished a fresh batch of these Southern Heat pickled quail eggs and the jar already looks amazing. I wanted something that brings the classic Southern brine flavor but dials up the heat significantly.

Used a solid blend of fresh hot peppers, garlic, and a custom spice mix to give them a deep, fiery color and a burn that builds perfectly without completely overtaking the rich yolk. Quail eggs absorb the brine so much better than regular chicken eggs—the texture is spot on.

Anyone else jumping on the spicy quail egg trend lately? What's your go-to pepper blend for maximum flavor and heat?

Dehydrating time

Just started my dehydrator with 30 sugar Rush peach peppers cut into quarters about 145° f for 9 hours approximately rotating every few hours. Looks like my next powder is going to be fish peppers and then lastly my chocolate Trinidad scorpion pepper. I just got my first pepper started on one of four scorpion pepper plants.

Mythos Q'uq'umatz - OBITUARY REVIEW

Here lies Mythos Q’UQ’UMATZ-

8.4/10

As the God of wind and rain for the K’iche’ Maya, this deity is the equivalent for the Aztec Quetzalcoatl, and the Yucatan Maya Kukulkan (which was the name of another Mythos sauce). The name translates to a rendered “feathered serpent”, which is pretty friggin sweet imagery if you ask me. Mythos was my favorite sauce company before they unfortunately closed the business late last year. I’ve been slowly cherishing the sauces I have, and I did stock up on a few of my favorites when I could. While I am extremely grateful for having been able to experience this company, I am sad that they no longer exist. Let’s get into the review!

REVIEW: This sauce was made to be a lesser heated version of their Kukulkan, which was another fan favorite from the company, and actually won a few awards. I have a review on my page. Anyway, like all of the other sauces by Mythos, this sauce has quite a bit of vinegar right up front. It’s tangy and sweet, with the ACV playing delightfully with the pineapples. The hatch peppers create this interesting layer of sweetness also, without offering much heat at all. The hatch combined with the cumin gave me with some nostalgia, because I used to go to this taco truck every Saturday morning, and I got these awesome lengua tacos (and other varieties of course), and they had a few salsa options, one of them being a hatch and tomatillo style. Anyway, this was a really tangy and punchy sauce, which makes me want to use it as a salad dressing, but alas, I can no longer get my hands on it. All I have left is the memories… I wish I had more to say about this sauce, but it’s deliciousness rests within it’s simplicity. I know this review was more of a love letter than a review, and I’m alright with that. Thanks for everything, Mythos. I have a few more reviews coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned for those! Rest in Peace, Spicy Prince.

Feel free to recommend your favorite hatch chili sauce, leave your favorite local hot sauce brand, or tell us your experience with this sauce or any other Mythos sauce.

Ingredients: White Vinegar, Hatch Chiles, Pineapple, Cider Vinegar, Lime Juice, Salt, Garlic, Cumin

Redhot Reaper Chip Challenge

Gave this a try today. (Early birthday present.) It was definitely tolerable, but hotter than I expected, and hotter than I would eat for pleasure. Could still taste it after about half an hour. Didn't have a drink for at least an hour afterwards.

brought to my knees

recently returned from Puerto Rico with this random hot sauce. I can handle the scorpion tabasco just fine, and often eat 5-6 Thai chilis with my meals when the scorpion sauce isn't holstered. This sauce right here though, idk how much hotter carolina reaper is, brought to my limit several times now. It's addicting but very painful...in a kinda delicious way. Anyone else tried this one? imo twice as hot as scorpion sauce
