Playing with Fire.


I am given to understand that most people do not have a hot sauce cabinet.

To this, I say: WHY NOT??

Seriously, what is wrong with you people? Take the plunge and start a hot sauce cabinet. Clear out some space and show some dedication. And don’t give me that, “I don’t like spicy things” excuse. If you don’t like spicy things, you obviously haven’t eaten enough spicy things. Keep trying them until you find something you like, find out what spices are in it, and start your collection there.

It’s that simple.

(Don’t give me any lip about tummy troubles, either. Spicy things are good for tummy troubles. Just ask any medical professional.)

Stock brokers will tell you that diversity is the key to success, and hot sauces aren't any different. What would happen, for example, if you wanted to add an herby, garlicky kick to your Chicken Kiev, and all you had in the house was some standard issue Tabasco? You’d be screwed! You’d have a lovely meal before you that someone – perhaps yourself – worked very hard to prepare, and you would be unable to eat it!

Keeping ten or twenty varieties on hand helps avoid that nightmare senario, and it looks pretty besides. So stop waffling and commit.

Hot sauce cabinet.
Do it.
