Melinda Ain't Playing


The fam enjoyed BBQ sandwiches for dinner tonight and I spiced mine up with a new hot sauce: Melinda's XXXXtra Reserve, a Habanero pepper sauce.  The verdict: it's a nice hot sauce.  It didn't blow my head off by any means, but it definitely brought a bit of heat to the table.  Most importantly, it had a really nice flavor to it.  I dig the hot and spicy stuff, but I'm always interested in a nice blend of heat and flavor.  This might be one of the better balancing acts that I've encountered.  For those who are also looking to liven a dish up without needlessly setting their taste buds on fire, I'm going to recommend this one.

  1. I don't know if Mat Smith is still making hot sauce but he had a great lineup.

  2. One of the hottest and best sauces I ever had was his eXXXtreme variety. I asked him about it a while back and I think he may be out of the hot sauce game, but that sauce was superb.

  4. You definitely brought the science to your article, and I can appreciate that. You also included nuclear weapons toward the end.
