The 10 Hottest Chilli Sauces
It seems that there’s an obsession with heat when it comes to food – you can’t check your emails on Yahoo! without reading some story about how someone died eating ‘the hottest pizza ever made’ or something similar. Not so long ago I was walking through Hoxton Square with a friend when his eyes lit up – he had seen a spicy wings challenge advertised and insisted that we partake. Half an hour later, we’ve worked our way through half a wing and feeling terrible, yet this fixation with the ‘hottest’ seems insurmountable. So for all you masochists out there, here are ten of the hottest chilli sauces around.
10. Hot Headz! Trinidad Scorpion Hot Pepper Sauce
One of the simplest hot sauces around – it uses the traditional Trinidadian ‘Scorpion’ chilli peppers and is only available when the chillies are in season.
9. Sauce Crafters Inc. Satan’s Blood
A great name but not necessarily the tastiest of sauces it is nevertheless ‘fires of hell’ hot.
8. Ass Blaster Hot Sauce
There have been reports of people hearing Ring of Fire in their head for days after consuming this intestine busting stuff. Seriously though, only for those with concrete stomachs.
7. 10 Minute Burn Extreme Chilli Sauce
This sauce has now been superseded by the 20 Minute Burn (see below), but is still vicious in it’s own way. When it was first premiered people who tried it passed out and it was banned from a fiery foods festival for being “too hot!”
6. The Hottest Fuckin’ Sauce
Using two of the hottest peppers known to man; the habanero and the scotch bonnet this sauce is wise to include an expletive in its title.
5. Da’ Bomb Ground Zero
Just using habanero chillies, this is a truly lethal concoction.
4. 20 Minute Burn Extreme Chilli Sauce
This one is apparently the brainchild of Gerald Fowler who is to chilli sauce freaks what Stephen Hawking is to physicists. You don’t taste it – rather it just burns…
3. Naga Sauce
The primary ingredient of Naga sauce is the world’s third hottest chilli; the bhut jolokia or ‘ghost’ pepper. Extremely harmful unless taken in small doses.
2. Mongoose Hot Sauce This sauce is a 3,000,000 on the ‘Scoville Scale’ (a scale for determining heat in taste) and is 600 times hotter than a jalapeño!
1. Z Nothing Beyond…
Quite simply this is hottest sauce that is readily available for consumption. It’s a 4,000,000 on the Scoville Scale and is a whopping 800 times hotter than a jalapeño. If you’re mad, order some…
