I know, I’m a bad blogger. Oh well, I never really liked it that much. Too much of a chore. I have plenty of more important things (*cough*classwork*cough*) than blog. I may throw a post up now and then, but probably not.
Alright, finally got a post ready. I did come up with another post, so I’ll write that eventually.
So today a package arrived in the mail, something I ordered for myself from extremefood.com. If you check out the website, the first thing you’ll see is an image with the words “Death Sauce Zone” on it. Sounds intimidating, huh? If you click around some more you’ll find their line of products, which range from spicy chips to sauces to rubs. Essentially, you’ll get the jist that they specialize in making spicy foods, and I mean spicy! They’re hottest sauce that they (currently) sell has around 3,000,000 Scoville heat units to it. Essentially, if you ever buy some of their hotter stuff online, you need to read and acknowledge a disclaimer before you can place your order. So this isn’t for the faint of hea(r)t. They don’t display a Scoville scale for every product, but you can read the ingredients and judge there.
My order consisted of one 5 oz. bottle of Ultra Death Sauce and a four pack of 2 oz. bags of the Death Rain Habanero chips. I have yet to crack open either of these, but I will post a review of each when I try them. For now, I’ll just talk about the order itself and a bottle of After Death Sauce I’ve had for a while.
I placed my order on Monday, which was labor day, so naturally the company was off. I received an email that my order had been completed two days after that, and two days from then my order arrived. It was quick and efficient. I had no problems ordering and the website was easily navigable. The chips were packaged in no more than a box, simply because the bags were already padded with air. The Death Sauce came in it’s own little box, which was wrapped in bubble wrap and put in a shipping box containing copious amounts of packing peanuts. These two boxes were held together with the tape reinforced with string. It held, but I can see how that might cause some problems if the boxes get separated. Only one had the shipping address, so one box could get lost rather easily if the tape doesn’t hold. With that said, it did, so there was no personal problem. Blair’s also included a booklet of their products, a mousepad, and two free sampler bags of their other chip flavors, all gratis. I know the chips are a marketing thing, but hey, it’s still nice! Overall the quality of service was flawless.
All that said, I still have yet to try the new products I purchased. As mentioned, I have a bottle of the After Death Sauce, which is the only product of theirs I have tried. (I have some Death Rain Habanero rub that someone gave me, but I have not opened that yet.) The After Death is their fourth hottest of the Death Sauces according to the meter below (sorry it’s cut off a little):
(The top product is one of their “Reserve” sauces, which seems to be somewhat more of concentrated capsaicin than a sauce.)
Although After Death is only fourth, it still packs a punch. A few drops in a bowl of chile will do someone who is not a spice fanatic in. I personally like to say I’ve “burnt” off my taste buds (neutralized is a better word) because of eating things that are hot. Honestly I’m not sure where I stand, but I can say that Cayenne peppers don’t even tingle my tongue anymore. I know that’s only rated around 50K on the Scoville scale, but I don’t think I’ve had any of the other peppers listed above it raw or in anything (besides the Habanero). Anyway, I can’t say that the After Death sauces causes pain like other sauces and peppers do (like the Ultra Death will 
), but the spice is definitely there, and it makes me sweat some. I highly recommend it for any heat junkie.
All in all, Blair’s hotter sauces are for the people who seek out the pain. If you want flavor, try some of their lesser heat rated sauces (I haven’t had any, so I can’t comment on them), or find some of this sauce:
That I can say is the best stuff in terms of taste. It will provide some heat for people who cannot stand the intense stuff, but it’s the kind that’s more about flavor, and it has a lot of it.
I know I haven’t been posting much, but I’ve been busy with the first week of College and moving in, so more content will come soon. I already have one post in mind and will surely have more to come.
