Heat Hot Sauce Shop is one of my favorite places to buy sauces and spices online, not just because of their excellent selection of third party sauces and great pricing, but because they also have a very tasty line of their own in-house sauces, seasonings, and spices. I personally always keep a bottle of one…
As I continue my way through the sauces that I brought home from Mexico I decided to open up this bottle of Bufalo Habanero. The Bufalo brand, which is made by Mexican food giant Herdez, is often found in grocery stores in the USA, though typically it’s only the Bufalo Salsa Classica and the Bufalo…
Takis, originally launched in Mexico in 1999 and then two years later in the United States, has managed to bridge the gap between the snack shelves of Mexican grocery stores to widespread mainstream popularity through grassroots social media virality (as well as being pretty dang tasty). While their rolled chips are their first and most…
Torchbearer can always be counted on to have some amusing bottle art, and the amorous onion putting the moves on the dapper habanero on this one is no exception. This is a sauce I’ve heard good things about, but one that was sadly languishing in the back of my cupboard waiting for me to find…
Hellfire, the title of one of the top 3 Disney villain songs as well as the sulfurous power granted to Harry Dresden by means of being half-possessed by a demonic coin in the Dresden Files series, just sounds pretty dang badass and cool. It also sounds quite spicy. Does this beef jerky live up to…

Interestingly, this wasn’t the first sauce Hot Ones reached…
The third and final bottle from the Gindo’s 2024 Ghost of Christmas three pack, Ghost of Christmas Future was designed to “embrace the future of heat”. Like Ghost of Christmas Past and Ghost of Christmas Present this is a unique limited edition sauce that will exist only for this single release. This is the 10th…
Bloody Marys are one of my favorite cocktails. I’ve always enjoyed tomato juice, so the opportunity to make it spicy and add some booze and fun garnishes is something I can’t pass up given the opportunity. When I saw that Mesquite Creek had a Bloody Mary flavor for their jerky it was one of the…
I’m a lover of garlic so when I saw a post about Liquid Gold garlic crisps I knew that I had to order their range. They have three varieties with three heat ranges – Liquid Gold which is their no heat variety, Liquid Heat which is the subject of this review at the middle-child of…
The second bottle from the 2024 Gindo’s Ghost of Christmas trio, Ghost of Christmas Present is described by the company as “a love letter to the bold flavors of today’s hot sauces”. Featuring a range of red heirloom and super hot varietals of peppers (as opposed to the peach and yellow varieties featured in the…
