Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas: Day 2 – For Those Who Like It HOT!
On the second day of Christmas, your true love might not be able to find you a pair of domesticated turtle doves…but we bet you’re craving something spicier than poultry anyway! It’s time to tickle your tastebuds with sauces that offer more kick than grandpa’s bathtub eggnog.
No. 7 Hot Sauce – $6.00/bottle
Sure, Carlos may have lost to Steven in the Hot Pepper Challenge, but the real star of the show are his local made, vegan, raw, and preservative free bottles and jars of hot sauce. He makes his mom proud, whipping up a next level Mexican treat that can be found at Cafe Con Leche, at several retailers across the city, and, online. Make sure to keep some milk on hand, and, we recommend avoiding any mistletoe action until after you’ve cooled down.
Stasis – Ontario Hot Sauce – $7.00/bottle
Ontario is commonly recognized for having the busiest highway in North America. Well, we hope that shining some light on this home “grown” hot sauce will help leaves a better tastes in the mouths of our tourists. Made with a combination of local ghost and habanero chilies, a unique complexity is able to extend past the fire you’ll likely first breathe out. We’re sure this sauce would make your Christmas leftovers even more enjoyable!
Diablo’s Fuego Supi Cucu @ Ruby Eats – $12.95/bottle
Move over Santa, because there’s another guy in red gunning for attention this Christmas. The devil gracing this bottle might look adorable, but he’s only daring you taste this demonic, and endlessly delicious elixir. Supi Cucu is flying you in a sleigh to Panama & Latin America to try something a little different. With hot or sweet & hot available, you’re going to want to get one for their stocking, and yours.
