The problem is that Rocoto is so strong that hardly anybody eats it pure (I'm one of the few masochists), so the sauce was blended with vinager and some greasy ingredient (grease takes a lot of spice). But this bag (Alacena) is really strong: As a fact after pure Capsaicin and capsaicinoids (chemical spice essence), pepper spray, Naga jolokia comes rocoto,
This scale is a bit wrong, because it's based in rocoto sold for USA and Europe (mild version), the red one from Arequipa is like Red Savina.
If you ever go to Arequipa ask for a "Rocoto relleno for gringo" is prepared without seed and vein, but still will make some people cry. Iván Edited by Ivan_Melgar_M - July 26 2010 at 01:25 |

I also love hot sauce and use it on whatever it isn't disgusting to put it on...
Blaire's Sudden Death is supposed to be 500,000 scoville units... I always use this when I make grilled cheese. I put the butter or marjorine on the bread and put a drop on and spread it. Its really tasty but really hot too, so i don't use it on much else, cause i usually accidentally put too much on...
Dave's Insanity isn't as hot as Sudden Death but you still have to use only drops... I always use this to mix with tomato sauce and i eat a lot of italian food, so i use this one often. I highly recommend it.
This is the first hot sauce I ever tried and what got me into hot sauce almost 10 years ago... I still use this all the time. It isn't spicy like Dave's Insanity, but its definitely hotter than Frank's and Louisianna Hot Sauce... I always mix this with ketchup or if i'm at a restaraunt, i mix ketchup with tobasco, and i use this on chinese food and usually on coldcut sandwiches and plenty of other food... The habenero tobasco is similarly hot. Sometimes I'll switch it up and use that instead for what i use this stuff on.
The Chipotle tobasco is pretty good, but I rarely use it. I like Franks Hot Sauce for sandwiches too. I used to use Louisianna a lot, but for cayenne pepper hot sauces, I prefer Franks... Taco Bell's hot sauce is good every once in a while also. When I was younger, I used to stock up when I'd go to Taco Bell. I mostly stay away from fast food nowadays though.

Since they were marketing it to chileans (who think mayonnaise and avocado belong in everything), I suppose its plain to see why I wasn't given the good stuff.

if anyone hasn't bought a tin of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (the ones from Mexico), the flavor is fantastic, you'll want to put it in anything that calls for smoke, heat, and a bit of sweetness.. delicious, and hot enough to challenge a seasoned heat-lover

I'm baffled at the sight of the bottles on page 2: what is this disguting obsession with the intestinal system and the anus when talking about hot sauce???
I mean, hell, when I eat couscous with harissa, when I put tobasco or pepper & oil sauce on my pizzas, I just think about the pleasure on my tongue, not about the pain in the ass (that I never felt - are the English-Saxon more delicate than the French-Mediteranean?)! |

Best everyday hot sauce. I always keep a bottle in the fridgerator. Also if I'm in a Mexican place and there's a bottle of this on the table, some of it's going in the salsa. |

Even wne it's not one of my favourite issues to talk about, I agree partially with you, the sauce can't cause that effect, but if you eat any form of chili, aji, jalapeńo or rocoto, the seeds in side will cause you that effect, becauseyour stomach won't diges them in 100 years and will leave your body in the same form they entered.
Plus if you notice the scovina scale, tabasco peppers have 50,000 units of pungency and if prepated with oil, you have to reduce it to 25% at the most, some of this sauces are above 100,000 units, .
But you are right, unless you have a strong case of ulcera, hardly your digestive system will suffer too much, of course the exit way even less.

This is funny. We were growing varieties of hot pepper plants in the containers between the house and the front creek and occasionally one would grab a pepper and try to eat it. We never witnessed it personally but just the partially eaten pepper left behind. |

A bug would grab a pepper? Must be big bugs where you're from. |

My weapons of choice:
Good spicyness to it and great flavor. and.. not as hot as the former, but it has an addicting quality to it, and it's free! Oh how I misses it, no Del Taco in this town. |

That might be the first time I've ever seen a product from Belize.

Whilst on holiday last year, a friend and I used this as a condiment on our supper:
The next day, he came out of the upstairs loo as I was coming out of the downstairs one & we exchanged a meaningful look... a lot of that day's fishing was done standing up There is however a hotter version now available @ 15,000,000 scovilles, Dragons Blood Batch 13: And this one is reputedly even hotter (one reviewer reported that his bottom had filed for divorce ): At this point I'd hasten to add this is not a macho thing, these sauces have great flavour as well as heat.

Ohh, that is some fierce stuff. I used that once because there wasn't a bottle of the green stuff on the table. WHOA NELLIE! |

I generally ask what is the hottest they have in Mexican restaurants, and usually pour it on my food. My friends think I'm crazy, because most of them can put maybe one or two drops of the stuff on their food before it's TOO HOT!

Wow, didn't think this would make it to 3 pages!
I love hot sauce and spicy food but, clearly I am not a hot sauce connoisseur |
